Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Reporter's Lincoln These recollections of Lincoln were assembled in newspaper goings and comings. They are plain tales told by men and women "who knew Lincoln." In degree of acquaintance they range from a single, perhaps casual, meeting, to years of intimacy. In respect to time, they relate to Lincoln, the clerk at New Salem; to Lincoln, the president; and to Lincoln at stages of his career between the clerkship and the presidency. New Salem, the settlement that was promising when Lincoln went there to begin his manhood life, passed away long ago. When the site was visited by the reporter not a building was left. But living in and about Petersburg, the thrifty little city which succeeded New Salem, were men and women, advanced in years, who remembered "when nobody along the Sangamon could put Abe Lincoln on his back." They told, from personal observation, how Lincoln took the death of Ann Rutledge. They described the wrestling match between Lincoln and Jack Armstrong, the neighborhood champion. They heard Lincoln read his argument about the Bible and saw his employer take the paper from him and burn it. They recalled how Lincoln saved Duff Armstrong with an almanac, in a murder trial, and Duff Armstrong, in the flesh, reformed and a church member, was there to stoutly assert that the almanac was not faked. After Lincoln the wrestler and clerk, Lincoln the surveyor and legislator, came Lincoln the lawyer and Lincoln the politician. Lincoln rode the eighth circuit. Half a century afterwards his trail was followed by his lawsuits, his stories, his homely sayings. At the court towns on the circuit, people told of Lincoln from personal recollections. Of Lincoln sitting on the log with the editors and framing the first platform of the Republican movement in Illinois; of Lincoln going fishing with a carryall full of boys; of Lincoln dropping from the statehouse window in Vandalia to break a quorum, - of such were the recollections. The Bloomington speech was "lost," but perhaps more vivid than the forgotten words were the impressions which listeners received and which they described. Robert R. Hitt, many years Member of Congress from the Freeport, III., district, took the speeches of the Douglas-Lineoln joint debate for the Chicago Tribune.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln in Peoria Illinois Classic Reprint written by Byron Cloyd Bryner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln in Peoria, Illinois The writer cannot refrain from publicly ex pressing his surprise and pleasure at the reception it has received and with the requests for general distribution. Complying with this demand this second edition has been issued. It contains the first edition complete and additional matter such as pic tures of Peoria as it then appeared - early steam boats - the first railroad train to enter town over the Bureau Valley road (now the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific) from Chicago, which incident occurred November 7th, 1854, three weeks after the lincoln-douglas debate of October 16th hotels where entertainment was furnished for man and beast - a picture of Peoria in 1832 when Lin coln passed through on foot upon his return from the Black Hawk war - the old market housealso, after a long search, we have found a partial report of Judge Douglas' address, preceding Mr. Lincoln's on October 16, 1854. As far as we have been able to ascertain, this is the first time it has been published in any book. All these create an atmosphere from which may be formed a picture which it is confidently believed will prove of inter estand value to the ever increasing army of stu dents of the stirring times which preceded our National recognition and gave liberty to every man, woman and child, regardless of race, creed or color, throughout the land, and united all in ever increasing love for the flag. Lincoln's speech as given in the first edition is taken from the Peoria Transcript. Upon Lin coln's return to Springfield be, three days later, wrote out and revised it, desiring no doubt to give a more clear and not to be misunderstood expres sion of his views upon the questions then at issue. In this volume is given the reporter's copy as it appeared in the first edition as well as the address as personally revised by Mr. Lincoln upon his return to Springfield. Allowance must be made for possible errors in the reporter's copy, for shorthand was then but little in vogue and the speech was probably taken in long hand at the time delivered, but upon care ful reading I cannot help but think it accurately reported.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Last Hours Commander and Companions of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States: At the historic pageant in Washington, when the remains of Presi dent Lincoln were being taken from the White House to the Capitol, a carriage immediately preceding the catafalque was assign-cd to me. Outside were the crowds, the martial music, but inside the carriage l was plunged in deep self-communion, until aroused by a gentle tap at the window of my carriage door. An ofi'icer of high rank put his head inside and exclaimed: Dr. Leale, I would rather have done what you did to prolong the life of the President than to have accomplished my duties during the entire war. I shrank back at what he said, and for the first time realized the importance of it all. As soon as I returned to my private office in the hospital, I drew down the Win dow-shade, locked the door, threw myself prostrate on the bare wood floor and asked for advice. The answer came as distinctly as if spoken by a human being present: Forget it all. I visited our Surgeon General, Joseph K. Barnes, and asked his advice; he also said: Cast it from your memory. On April 17, 1865, a New York newspaper reporter called at my army tent. I invited him in, and expressed my desire to forget all the recent sad events, and to occupy my mind with the exacting present and plans forthe future. Recently, several of our Companions expressed the conviction, that history now demands, and that it is my duty to give the detailed facts of President Lincoln's death as I know them, and in compliance with their request, I this evening for the first time will read a paper on the subject.

Incidentally, he told little about his father, mentioned only one grandfather, and remarked nothing about either grandmother. Although his information was mostly hearsay, it was certainly first-handed, and, in ordinary cases, would be acceptable as bona fide.
