YOUNG MR. LINCOLN.

Lincoln was inspired by Blackstone's Commentaries. Too poor to own even a horse, he arrives in Springfield on a mule and soon establishes a law practice. At a July 4 celebration, a man is murdered in a brawl – the accused are two brothers. Lincoln prevents the lynching of the accused at the jail by telling the angry mob he really needs these clients for his first real case.
