A guide through troubled waters
 Abraham Lincoln is known for his leadership during the Civil War, his soaring oration, and his rise as a self-taught prairie lawyer. He is also the only U.S. president to be granted a patent. Lincoln’s invention is evidence of his curious mind, penchant for learning new skills, and his desire to solve problems. As we celebrate America’s 250th year, join us as we delve into a lesser-known aspect of our 16th president’s story; that of Abraham Lincoln, the inventor.
Read the story now and celebrate Lincoln's birthday today.
Each month, our Journeys of Innovation series tells the stories of inventors or entrepreneurs who have made a positive difference in the world.
