Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Defendant: Lincoln's Most Interesting LawsuitThe second suit was in 1 8 3 4, when one Van Bergen sought to enforce payment of a note given by the ill-fated partnership of Lincoln 8: Berry while in the grocery busi ness at New Salem. Lincoln, penniless, but steadfast in his determination to pay the debts of the firm, made no defense and sur rendered his horse, saddle, bridle, and sur veying instruments to satisfy the judgment. Poverty alone made him a defendant in these two instances, and throughout his career as a lawyer no person, except in the case hereafter related, ever claimed that Abra ham Lincoln was guilty of a dishonest act.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
