Logan Portrait, Springfield, Illinois |
Stephen T. Logan said of his famous partner,
"He was not much of a reader. Lincoln was never what
might be called a very industrious reader. But he would get a case
and try to know all there was connected with it; and in that way
before he left this country he got to be quite a formidable lawyer."
"So far as his reading knowledge of law went
he had a quite unusual grasp of the principles involved. When he was
with me, I have seen him get a case and seem to be bewildered at first,
but he would go at it and after a while he would master it. He was
very tenacious in his grasp of a thing that he once got hold of."
