Best Answer

There were not any schools where he lived. Occasionally a traveling schol teacher would come to his county and he would go.He was very poor, and had to work on his father's farm. He briefly attended a few local schools, for very short periods while he was a child and in his teens, and in total, had less than 12 months of schooling, in his youth.
