Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin:

LOG CABIN is an anagram of GAB and [L]INCOL[N], i.e. Lincoln's "large heart" is INCOL.
So "large heart" is being used to distinguish it from just C or NCO which might be clued by just "heart".
And Lincoln was famous for being born in a Log cabin (on 12-FEB-1809)
I was fooled by the double bicentennary being used as a theme, and I was intrigued that neither Darwin nor Lincoln explicitly appeared in the answers.
