Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We ended up being extremely late because of you. It seems girls always take forever with their makeup," I scolded Akshya. "Shirsh, I only took 10 minutes. I'm about to meet your sister and brother-in-law for the first time," Akshya defended. "Attention, this serves as the last boarding announcement for passengers on flight no. JC 321 destined for Birmingham from India. We kindly request all passengers to make their way to gate no. 8," echoed the announcement. I glared Akshya with an angry look. She touched her ears apologetically and whispered sorry. We were standing in line when a boy rushed into the queue and accidentally bumped into Akshu, causing her to fall onto me. I managed to steady her somehow. "Watch where you're going, you nearly poked my eye with your button!" Akshya exclaimed, glaring at the boy. The boy seemed flustered and started apologizing, "I'm sorry, ma'am. The announcement caught me off guard, and this flight is really important for me. I'm meeting my best friend after 6 months, so if I bumped into you, I apologize." "One should be mindful of time," Akshu remarked.

Download or read book Lincoln in American Memory written by Merrill D. Peterson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995-06-01 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lincoln's death, like his life, was an event of epic proportions. When the president was struck down at his moment of triumph, writes Merrill Peterson, "sorrow--indescribable sorrow" swept the nation. After lying in state in Washington, Lincoln's body was carried by a special funeral train to Springfield, Illinois, stopping in major cities along the way; perhaps a million people viewed the remains as memorial orations rang out and the world chorused its sincere condolences. It was the apotheosis of the martyred President--the beginning of the transformation of a man into a mythic hero. In Lincoln in American Memory, historian Merrill Peterson provides a fascinating history of Lincoln's place in the American imagination from the hour of his death to the present. In tracing the changing image of Lincoln through time, this wide-ranging account offers insight into the evolution and struggles of American politics and society--and into the character of Lincoln himself. Westerners, Easterners, even Southerners were caught up in the idealization of the late President, reshaping his memory and laying claim to his mantle, as his widow, son, memorial builders, and memorabilia collectors fought over his visible legacy. Peterson also looks at the complex responses of blacks to the memory of Lincoln, as they moved from exultation at the end of slavery to the harsh reality of free life amid deep poverty and segregation; at more than one memorial event for the great emancipator, the author notes, blacks were excluded. He makes an engaging examination of the flood of reminiscences and biographies, from Lincoln's old law partner William H. Herndon to Carl Sandburg and beyond. Serious historians were late in coming to the topic; for decades the myth-makers sought to shape the image of the hero President to suit their own agendas. He was made a voice of prohibition, a saloon-keeper, an infidel, a devout Christian, the first Bull Moose Progressive, a military blunderer and (after the First World War) a military genius, a white supremacist (according to D.W. Griffith and other Southern admirers), and a touchstone for the civil rights movement. Through it all, Peterson traces five principal images of Lincoln: the savior of the Union, the great emancipator, man of the people, first American, and self-made man. In identifying these archetypes, he tells us much not only of Lincoln but of our own identity as a people.

Download or read book At Lincoln s Side written by Michael Burlingame and published by SIU Press. This book was released on with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Hay believed that "real history is told in private letters," and the more than 220 surviving letters and telegrams from his Civil War days prove that to be true, showing Abraham Lincoln in action: "The Tycoon is in fine whack. I have rarely seen him more serene & busy. He is managing this war, the draft, foreign relations, and planning a reconstruction of the Union, all at once. I never knew with what tyrannous authority he rules the Cabinet, till now. The most important things he decides & there is no cavil." Along with Hay's personal correspondence, Burlingame includes his surviving official letters. Though lacking the "literary brilliance of [Hay's] personal letters," Burlingame explains, "they help flesh out the historical record." Burlingame also includes some of the letters Hay composed for Lincoln's signature, including the celebrated letter of condolence to the Widow Bixby. More than an inside glimpse of the Civil War White House, Hay's surviving correspondence provides a window on the world of nineteenth-century Washington, D.C.
