Lincoln is the embodiment of the American dream and the president to whom all others are compared. Although we think we know his story, it's full of surprises and misnomers. Episode 101 builds the man that will eventually become the historical icon and clarifies some generalizations that have ingratiated themselves into his mythology. From his hard scrabble roots on the far edge of the frontier through his courtship of a complicated woman who will later push him to great political heights, episode 101 examines how Lincoln's background shaped his personality, views, and explores some of the lesser known aspects of his life before political stardom.
