The Log Cabin

The log cabin is something that has entered American Mythology. Yet, it was this humble dwelling that many famous Americans called home when they were born. Your job is to do some research and find out how many famous Americans have either been born in (or claim to be born in) a log cabin.

    Many people in American History were born in a log cabin.

    However, there were 7 presidents who were, or claimed to be born, in a log cabin. This includes:

    -Abraham Lincoln (the guy on the 5 dollar bill and penny)

    -Andrew Jackson (the guy who appears on the 20 dollar bill)

    -James Buchanan

    -Millard Fillmore

    -James Abram Garfield

    -Franklin Pierce

    -Zachary Taylor


    Of these 7 presidents, Abraham Lincoln was one of the most famous to be known to be born in a log cabin. I am pretty sure so many others have been born in log cabins, but these are probably only presidents who have been born in a log cabin. You cannot imagine how many lies they have posted in the internet.
