Abe Lincoln's Hat

Abe Lincoln's Hat

Abe Lincoln didn't have much money. But when he became a lawyer, he wanted to look his best. He bought a long black coat and a tall black hat.

Every day Abe wore his hat to his new job. People noticed the tall man in the tall hat.

He was friendly to everyone. When they needed a lawyer, they remembered him.

Abe lived in Illinois. His state was mostly wilderness. Then more and more settlers came. They built houses and farms and new towns. Sometimes they didn't get along.
