To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
78 ABRAHAM LINCOLN Two of his great murder cases must always be recalled when his legal career is mentioned. In May, 1858, he defended William, or "Duff, " the son of his old foe and friend. Jack Arm- strong. This youth, wild as the wildest of the Clary's Grove Boys had ever been, was charged with murder, and on the trial at Beardstown a witness told how, by moonlight, he had seen the blow struck. It was a pretty desperate case for William, and for Hannah, his mother, who had "foxed" the bucksk...ins on Lincoln's trousers; but Lincohi, remembering old bene- fits, reassured her, and, subjecting the pros- ecuting witness to one of his dreadful cross- examinations, confronted him with the almanac of the year of the murder, and by it showed that, at the hour at which the witness claimed to have seen Armstrong strike the blow, the moon, only in its first quarter, had already set. The boy was acquitted, and Lincoln would have no fee but old Hannah's tears and grati- tude. The next year he appeared on behalf of "Peachy" Harrison, charged with the mur- 79 ABRAHAJVI LINCOLN der of Greek Crafton, and it must have been a dramatic moment when the aged Peter Cart- wright took the witness-stand and turned to face Lincoln, against whom he had waged a campaign for Congress so long before.
