Born in 1800, Mentor Graham became a teacher and continued teaching for about 50 years. He died in 1886. Perhaps his most significant contribution to society occured in the 1830s after he met a young Lincoln. Graham is credited with having taught Abraham Lincoln whatever "higher education" he received. Lincoln's schooling beyond grade school was short - about 18 months, according to some records. But those months brought Lincoln into contact with Graham, who loaned him his personal books to read and instructed him in math, English, and surveying. Did you also have a teacher like Mentor Graham?
