Health of Abraham Lincoln
text:
Abraham Lincoln's health has been the subject of both contemporaneous commentary and subsequent hypotheses by historians and scholars. Until middle age, his health was fairly good for the time. He contracted malaria in 1830 and 1835; the latter was the worse of the two cases. He contracted smallpox in 1863 during an 1863 to 1864 epidemic in Washington, D.C. Throughout his life he experienced periods of depression, which could have been genetic, due to life experiences or trauma, or both. Lincoln
