On this episode of Our American Stories, when Lincoln was asked on a questionaire to describe his education he only wrote one word: defective. That didn't stop him from becoming one of the premiere thinkers of his time however. David Kent, author of Lincoln Lincoln: The Fire of Genius, tells the story of how Lincoln overcame poverty and rural isolation to reach those heights.
