On the day Abraham Lincoln was born his older cousin Dennis Hanks went over to see the newborn baby. Later he commented, "Folks often ask me if Abe was a good-looking baby. Well now, he looked like any other baby at fust -- like a red cherry pulp squeezed dry. And, he didn't improve none as he growed older."
That may be a typical cousin's reaction, but admittedly Abraham Lincoln never was photogenic. He probably would not have made it today in this age of television with all its glitz and style. Nonetheless, it is the considered opinion of our nation's professional historians every time a poll is taken that Lincoln rates as the greatest of all the presidents of the United States.
From this humble and unpromising beginning something really great happened.
