Lincoln: A Self-Made Man

Prof. Daniel W. Howe

The Pasadena Civil War Round Table will host Daniel Walker Howe for an exploration of Abraham Lincoln’s life focusing on how Lincoln was very much self-taught.

Abraham Lincoln was a self-made man in a way that we no longer use the term “self-made.” In Lincoln’s time, we find the term “self-made” used in a more comprehensive way than it is today, one that does not exclude success in business, but is by no means restricted to it.

Daniel Walker Howe is Rhodes Professor of American History Emeritus at Oxford University and Professor of History Emeritus at UCLA. His books include What Hath God Wrought (2008 Pulitzer Prize winner) and Making the American Self: Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln.
