Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln IN the year _1809, a traveller setting out from the village of Elizabethtown, in Kentucky, would have come in time to a lonely miserable log-cabin in'the midst of a bare, desolate, rocky tract of country, which even the sunshine could not make cheerful. The only pleasant thing ln sight was a little silvery Spring of fresh water, after which the place was called Rock Spring Farm. But it was not properly a farm at all, only a hut in the wilderness, without floors or windows or chimneys or rooms; just a square of roughly hewn logs, roofed over and giving shelter from the weather, but little else. Yet the place where this dismal cabin once stood is one 'of the most famous in American history, for in it was bom Abraham Lincoln, the boy who was destined to become President of the United States, and to free America from the shame of slave No boy ever had a less hopeful start in life, but this was not altogether the fault of his father, Thomas Lincoln. -his father, the first Abraham Lincoln, had started out, full of hope, to make his fortune in the.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln as a Spiritual Influence Fortunate indeed is the person who has read Raymond Warren's dramatized biography of Abraham Lincoln, The Prairie President, and his Abe Lincoln, Kentucky Boy, and who possesses this beautiful little brochure on Abraham Lincoln as a Spiritual Influence. To that person Lincoln will have become a living reality. The writer of this foreword is thoroughly familiar with the literature about Lincoln, has visited most of the places where he lived, and has become absorbed in the study of his life and character; but nothing else has made Lincoln so graphically real to him as have Col. Warren's masterly ver sions of the life and works of the Great Emancipator. After reading them we feel as though we had lived with Lincoln, talked with him, shared in his sufferings and rejoicings, and had known him from the cradle to the grave. In fact, Lincoln no longer seems dead, but as one of the most real and living persons we have ever known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Every-Day Life of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2: A Narrative and Descriptive Biography With Pen-Pictures and Personal Recollections by Those Who Knew Him Dr. George B. Loring, Of Massachusetts, who was one of the first to meet Lincoln after his arrival in Washington, says: I saw him on his arrival, and when he made his first appearance in a public place. I was standing in the upper hall of Willard's Hotel, conversing with a friend and listening to the confused talk of the crowded drawing-room adjoining. As We stood there, a tall and awkward form appeared above the stairs, especially conspicuous, as it came into view, for a new and stylish hat. It was evidently President Lincoln, whom neither of us had seen before. As soon as his presence was known, the hall was thronged from the drawing-rooms. He seemed somewhat startled by the crowd, did not remove his hat, wended his way somewhat rapidly and with mere passing recognition, and took shelter in his room. When the crowd had dispersed, my friend and myself - although we had opposed his election - called upon him to pay our respects. He received us with great cordiality, spoke freely of the difficulties by which he was surrounded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book From Pioneer Home to the White House written by William M. Thayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 1036 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Pioneer Home to the White House: Life of Abraham Lincoln; Boyhood, Youth, Manhood, Assassination, Death HE author of this volume wrote the first Life of Abraham Lincoln - the pioneer boy, and how HE became president - which, after a very large sale, passed out of print in consequence of the destruction of the plates by fire. A Campaign Life of only thirty-two pages, relating chiefly to his public career, was issued at the West, after his nomination for the Presidency in 1860; but The Pioneer Boy was the first complete biography of the man. Dr. Holland Said of it, several years later, in his Life of Lincoln, A singularly faithful statement of the early experience of Abraham Lincoln. The materials for the Cam paign Life spoken of were furnished by Mr. Lincoln, and he very kindly directed that pamphlet, with a quantity of unused matter, to be passed into our hands, together with the names and addresses of several of his early associates, reared with him in the wilderness, and of intimate friends in later life, from whom the most valuable information, never before given to the public, was received. From these sources of knowledge The Pioneer Boy was prepared. In the preparation of this new, larger and more elab orate Life of Lincoln, we have had, in addition to the above sources of information, others of even greater value, at least so far as his character and public services relate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heroic Life of Abraham Lincoln: The Great Emancipator Abraham was the firstborn, and then there was a sister Sarah, a year younger than he; then came Thomas two years later, who died in infancy. The first schooling Abraham got was from his mother, who taught his sister and him to spell and to read. \vhen in his Seventh year he went to school in the little log school-house near his home. But Thomas Lincoln, the father, heard of the richand fertile lands of Indiana, which had recently been admitted into the Union, and the tales of the Indians so inspired him that. He pulled up stakes and started for the new home, which to them was the Land of Promise. With all their household stuff packed on two horses, they made their way, by night sleeping on the fragrant pine twigs, clearing their way through tangled thickets and fording the streams. At last after a week or more on the tiresome journey they came to the banks of the river and, looking over, they saw the almost trackless forest which was to be their home. The family pushed their way forward, and on a grassy knoll in the heart of the untrodden forest they built their first rude cabin. Abraham was now in his eighth year. He was tall, thin and gawky, and clad in frontier fashion. He said himself he never wore stockings until he was a young man grown. In this log hut, in the first year of their frontier life, came their first great sorrow, the death of their mother, on the 3d of October. She was buried under the shade of a wide-spreading sycamore tree, and over her grave little Abe shed his first tears of real sorrow. Years after he would say with tear-dimmed eyes, All I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother. In the autumn Of 1816, Thomas Lincoln, with the slight assistance little Abe could give him, felled the logs and raised a more substantial cabin.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: A True Life It must not be thought that when our nation began its life it was rich and great as it now is. It was small and weak. Its possessions did not reach from ocean to ocean, as they do now, but only from the Atlantic coast to the Mississippi River. There were but thirteen states, and they were thinly settled. Nearly all the people lived in that part of the country which is east of the Alleghany Mountains, and the different sections had but little to do with one another. The largest and richest of the states was Virginia, which claimed the land westward as far as to the Mississippi.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 3 Lincoln entertained sanguine hopes that Lee's army would never be permitted to recross the Potomac, and its destruction, he believed, would bring the war to a close. It seems to have been quite within the power of General Meade to annihilate the enemy that he had so signally defeated at Gettysburg. He had a much larger force, and abundant supplies. Lee's three days fight had nearly exhansted his ammunition, and when he reached the Potomac he had the swollen waters of that river in his front, with no means of crossing his artillery, and another defeat must have caused the surrender of his whole army. But Meade allowed him to collect lumber from canal boats and ruined wooden houses, to construct- a bridge and cross the river. On the 14th of July, Meade telegraphed to Halleck The enemy are all across the Potomac. It would seem as though Meade thought his duty was performed when he drove the enemy back to Virginia, forgetting that Virginia was as much a part of the republic as Pennsylvania. He displayed so little enterprise that Lee thought it safe to send Longstreet to Tennessee, to the aid of Bragg against Rosecrans. On September roth and zoth, was fought the battle Of Chickamauga, in which the gallant Thomas, commanding the center of Rosecrans's army, firmly withstood and beat back the rebels under Bragg. He did this after the rebels had turned the Union right, and Rosecrans had been driven from the field. Thomas, the loyal Virginian, by his heroism and good conduct on this occasion saved the army and acquired the name of the Rock Of Chickamauga. Garfield, chief of staff Of Rosecrans, especially distinguished himself in this battle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Braham lincoln is one Of the greatest A names in the world. The parents who gave it to their boy were so poor that they lived in a house where there was only one room. But it matters very little whether houses are big or small. It is the men and women living there who make them either noble. Or mean. And thus, though Abraham Lincoln was born in a tiny, one-roomed cottage, through his uprightness, his hard work, and his natural cleverness he not only became President Of the United States, but, what is more, he left in the world such an impression of nobility that as long as the world Shall last he will be remembered and honoured. It was a cold, dark day in February 1809 when Lincoln was born in a lonely, desolate spot in the backwoods of Kentucky. The little wooden house was not much better than a shed. The one room in it had to be used as a kitchen, dining-room, sitting room, and bedroom, all in one. There was no door to keep out the cold draughts, but a large skin hung over the entrance and helped to make it warm, and a pile Of huge logs crackled and glowed in the big, open fireplace. The window was only a square hole cut in the Side of the wooden wall, through which the bitter wind rushed whistling in. On very cold days the skin of an animal shot in the woods near by would be fastened across this Opening to shut out, the freezing air, but this meant that the light would be shutout too, so that it was only on the coldest days that the window was darkened.

The year 1809-that year which gave William E. Gladstone to England-was in our country the birth-year of him who wears the most distinguished name that has yet been written on the pages of American history-ABRAHAM LINCOLN. In a rude cabin in a clearing, in the wilds of that section which was once the hunting-ground and later the battle-field of the Cherokees and other war-like tribes, and which the Indians themselves had named Kentucky because it was "dark and bloody ground," the great War President of the United States, after whose name History has written the word "Emancipator," first saw the light. Born and nurtured in penury, inured to hardship, coarse food, and scanty clothing, -the story of his youth is full of pathos. Small wonder that when asked in his later years to tell something of his early life, he replied by quoting a line from Gray's Elegy: "The short and simple annals of the poor."
