What education did the Lincoln boys receive?

[RJNorton]

Robert attended an academy operated by a man named Abel W. Estabrook. Then Robert enrolled in the Illinois State University in Springfield which was a preparatory school with four instructors. Apparently, the studies weren't difficult. In Robert's own words, "We did just what pleased us, study consuming only a very small portion of our time."

I believe Willie also attended a private school named Miss Corcoran's School. Tad may have attended briefly, too, but I think that is unclear.

I wish I had more, Bill, but that's about the extent I have.
