Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln OF all poor boys who ever became great men, Abraham Lincoln is at once the most familiar and inspiring figure in American history. The year 1809 that gave him to the world saw a number of famous men born, including Darwin, Gladstone, Tennyson, Mendelssohn, Poe, and Oliver Wendell Holmes; but none of them was so lowly born, so handicapped by poverty and hardship, as was our Sixteenth president.

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 2017-03-29 with total page 1038 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and His Presidency, Vol. 1 of 2 Before the meeting of the Republican N ational Con vention of 1860 I had undertaken, not of my own motion or at first willingly, to write a campaign biography of its nominee for the Presidency. I was confident that my subject would not be Mr. Seward, but had no presenti ment that the choice of the convention would be Abra ham Lincoln, whom I had then never met. In my first interview with him, soon after the adjournment of the convention (oi which I was a member), he earnestly and even sadly insisted that there was no adequate material for such a work as was intended, yet he received me very kindly, and showed no unusual reserve in talking of either his earlier or maturer life. As to both periods, he readily gave such facts as my inquiries invited or suggested; introduced me to friends with whom he had been on intimate terms for more than twenty years; and put me in the way of exploring newspaper files and legislative journals in the Illinois State library for biographic material.

Download or read book Why President Lincoln Spared Three Lives Classic Reprint written by Isaac Markens and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why President Lincoln Spared Three Lives Within the fortress whose defiant flag inspired the lines of Key's immortal national anthem three Confederate spies, awaiting execution in the closing year of the Civil War, were snatched from the gallows by a stroke of President Lincoln's pen. This act of Executive clemency was the sequence to an interesting incident during Mr. Lincoln's journey to Washington to assume the presidency in 1861, when the rampant spirit of secession prevailing in Maryland forbade all preparations for official welcome in that State. Thus it came that the President-elect and his family arranged for a short stop in Baltimore as the guests of a private citizen, John S. Gittings, banker and President of the Northern Central Railroad, by which line he was scheduled to reach that city. As is well known, information of an assassination plot induced Mr. Lincoln to leave his fellow-travelers at Harrisburg, secretly return to Philadelphia by special train, accompanied by a sole companion, Ward H. Lamon, and there board the regular midnight train for Washington, where he arrived unrecognized in the early morning of February 23. Adhering to the original program, the presidential party, including Mrs. Lincoln and her sons, Robert, Willie, and "Tad," went from Harrisburg to Baltimore, where their train was greeted by an immense crowd which rolled in about it like a vast tidal wave. Some of the more unruly element were bold enough to invade Mrs. Lincoln's private car until driven out by John Hay, who locked the door amidst an outburst of oaths and obscenity which swelled in intensity and volume when it became known that Mr. Lincoln was not with the party, but had stolen a march and was already in Washington.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, His Youth and Early Manhood: With a Brief Account of His Later Life In the crude surroundings that then were the lot of all, the story of Lincoln's youth and early manhood possesses a peculiar interest. In such a tale we catch gleams of a true nature tucked away in the lank form and homespun, and we watch a character grow clear Outlined through the power of a strong moral nature. The wilderness afforded splendid tests of manly quali ties, and kept the weak at bay. The axe, the maul, and the grubbing-hoe answered only to the quick eye and the sinewy frame. Abraham Lincoln, strong hearted and true, swung, split, and dug in the land of full-grown men and he emerged thence a leader among men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Lincoln Read The writer has been from youth to age a diligent and reverent student of any printed or written word throw ing light on the processes of slow yet steady growth through which Abraham Lincoln in his last years reached full mental and spiritual stature, and became the supreme American of his period. These processes are reflected in the present work which deals with what Lincoln read and pondered in a youth of few books and little schooling, and in his after years as lawyer and politician turned statesman. The record here set down cannot claim to be an exhaustive one, but it is as complete and accurate as long and careful searching of the sources now available to the student can make it.

Download or read book The Deification of Lincoln written by Ira D. Cardiff and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ira B. Cardiff sets out to correct numerous flaws in the biographical narrative of President Abraham Lincoln, a towering figure whom the author admires but considers unduly deified by certain entities. At the outset, Cardiff is clear this work is not a revelatory debunking of the deeds or traits of Abe Lincoln. Rather, it is an attempt to dispel certain myths that appeared after the death of the 16th President, which became ingrained to the point of acceptance even in historical circles. The author has great respect for Lincoln's legacy, but finds issue with inaccuracies deeming Lincoln to be near-faultless. Cardiff finds issue with the idea that Lincoln was a committed Christian, when several associates of Lincoln attest to him having little time for matters of God and religion. He finds it insulting that Lincoln's successes should be attributed to divine favor, when it was shrewd political savvy and keen knowledge of law that enabled his maneuvers before, during and after the U.S. Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln His Last Resting Place: A Leaflet Published for Distribution at the National Lincoln Monument in the City of Springfield, Illinois The chosen of God Mas slain in his high places. Our Moses who has led us through these four wilderness years, has been summoned of God, and now the whole nation stands in tearful agony around the mount whither his feet have gone up. Our joy and our sorrow stand side by side in the great book of God. The cloud of incense all radiant with light, had a fringe of sackcloth. It was a dark morning that saw our President die. The heavens were weeping. The sun bid himself in shadows, and the angel who bore his great spirit aloft was muffled in clouds. Fit emblem of those mightier shadows which rested upon our hearts. Strong type of those holier tears which were shed by a loving and noble people. The people's President and friend is dead, and it is proper in the calm light of this holy Sabbath that we call to mind the lessons of his life and death. Mr. Lincoln was most heartily a man of the people. Educated not in lordly halls, surrounded not with wealth and refinement Taken from the circle of no hereditary greatness, he was cradled in the bosom of poverty. He was trained in the rough school of adversity. His hands were made to work - his mind was made to think. He had just that elementary training necessary to fit him to be a guide in our night of danger. In those master struggles with poverty, his mind was prepared to lead the destinies of a struggling nation. Adversity is the school of greatness. Great minds are rocked in the hammock of the storms. The leaders of grand developments need this strong preparation. It is the school of God. Contending in youth with obstacles, ribs the heart with oak. All successful leaders of revolutions have been thus educated. Moses, God's chosen, must go into the wilderness for many years, to get the necessary discipline to withstand the trials before him. Christ was born in the manger - he wandered on the mountains, that he might go in joy to his triumphant death. God prepares His own leaders. He commissions His own Captains. Angels of God stand around the cradle of those men whose feet are to bring good tidings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Unwritten History of the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln Classic Reprint written by Richard Mitchell Smoot and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unwritten History of the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln And here Mr. Smoot told the following interest ing narrative. Which explains many things hereto fore garbed in impenetrable mystery, and which, if known in the beginning, would have insured the hanging of John H. Surratt, who is now a resident of Baltimore, Maryland, where he has resided for many years. At the time of the breaking out of the war, began Mr. Smoot, I was engaged in farming in Charles County, Maryland, about two miles from the town of Port Tobacco, situated upon a creek of that name which is a branch of the Potomac. When the ravages of war began to take on form, farming became unprofitable, and Iwas compelled to turn my attention in other directions in order to make a living. I owned a good, large and stout boat, and fell into the way of transporting goods and passengers across the Potomac, and from that occupation to that of running the blockade was but a short step and an inviting one. I was engaged in that hazardous but fascinating undertaking in 1864. In the early part of that year I received a visit from John H. Surratt, who expressed a desire to purchase my boat. He also said that he would have use for two other good boats which, however, must be capa ble of transporting fifteen persons each rapidly and safely across the Potomac. He was noticeably eager to secure my boat, and incidentally explained his desire to have the boat by saying that it would be needed in an emergency which might arise With in avery short time. He also said that if purchased the boat would be immediately removed to a point up King's Creek, which is a branch of the Potomac about ten miles from Port Tobacco, where it was tobe held in readiness for instant use. With reference to the other two boats wanted, Surratt said they were to be stationed at certain unnamed points to meet exigencies which might arise and cause well laid plans to go astray, and which did arise. I was using my boat, and asked Surratt if he could not do without it for a while; but he declared that if he bought it he would want possession right away, as the need of the boat would be the consequence of an event of unprecedented magnitude in the his tory of the country, which would startle and astound the entire world. He did not go into any further explanation of the expected event, which I inferred was then in process of incubation, and on the verge of maturity. While Surratt's manner impressed me with the belief that something big was going to happen, I had not the remotest idea that the life of Lincoln was then any more at stake than was the life of any man who was taking active and promi nent part in the war, though I was inclined to asso ciate the coming event with a plan to abduct Lin coln, concerning which plan I had heard vague rumors.
