In Abraham’s day, people could teach themselves law without going to law school.

One day, Abraham met a young lawyer named John Todd Stuart from nearby Springfield. John urged him to become a lawyer. Abraham liked the idea. Whenever he wasn’t working, he’d take law books that he’d borrowed from John, stretch out in a grassy spot, and study for hours.

A Busy Life

During his six years in New Salem, Abraham worked as a storekeeper, a postmaster, and a land surveyor. Although he never fought, he also served for a short time in the militia during the Black Hawk War.
