Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Footsteps of the Lincolns I found it an inspiring thing to trace the roads these seven successive generations of Lincoln pioneers traveled, to look upon the remains of their homes, reconstruct from documents and legends their activities, judge what manner of men and women they were, the place they held among their fellows. In these wanderings the whole history of the United States seemed to unroll before me. In this Lincoln migration we have the family history of millions of our contemporaries. And this story of their vigorous, independent pioneering, their passion for self-help and self-rule, goes far to account for Abraham Lincoln. He was not an accident. These Lin colns were behind him, preparing for the miracle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book In the Footsteps of the Lincolns written by Ida Tarbell and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tn the Footsteps of the Lincolns. By IDA. M. TARBELL. A story of the origin and family of Abraham Lincoln. While the problem of pedigree is not so important as Miss Tarbell insists, this book is a useful accompaniment to her great life of the martyred President. Few reflect that Samuel Lincoln, the great-great-great-great-grandfather of Lincoln, was only one of sixty-four ancestors of the same generation whose names are unknown to us, but whose blood he inherited. Our multiple ancestry makes the question of heredity a very confused question. But the book is interesting and valuable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unfathomable Lincoln And so, year after year, an ever increasing army of students and followers of Lincoln, seeking to know and understand the man, gaze with awe and wonder at the perfect gem of sculpture that a grateful nation has erected in its capital, where for five long, eventful, and heartbreaking years, he watched his country engage in suicidal war. They journey to his birthplace in Kentucky; and they climb the little hill in south ern Indiana where rests the tired body of Nancy Hanks, and where she looks wistfully on fields and hills that once heard the laughter and song of her Hoosier boy. Not satisfied, they' walk through the little country graveyard in Coles County and gaze on the graves of Tom Lincoln, and that other great heart, Sally Bush, who was all of a mother to him. In Vandalia, they wander through the halls of the old capitol, hopefully listening for the sound of his voice; while in his old home at Eighth and Jackson Streets, in Springfield, they wait in vain for the music of his footsteps. From here they go to its ceme tery, and wander aimlessly over the green grass near the spot where now he rests, not wondering that he sleeps after a life so full of action. They climb the steep hill in the cemetery at Petersburg and read the immortal words on the stone over the grave of Ann Rutledge. In search of more to satisfy the cravings of their spirits for intimacy with the soul of Lincoln, they journey around the towns that once composed the Eighth Illinois Judicial Circuit, so rich in memories of him. But none of these suffice. Finally and lastly, they must go to] New Salem, to its reconstructed stores and cabins; and walk ing down its single thoroughfare they find in the peace and quiet of this little spot something of spiritual perception of Abraham Lincoln.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 9: A History Amount of rolling stock was then in his possession, but he laid a strong hand upon all the cars in his reach, and, like the footsteps that approached the lion's den, none ever went back to their place of departure. The president of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, finding himself reduced to se vere straits from the dearth Of cars, protested loudly; but Sherman held firm, and tried to com fort him by telling him to keep his repair shops busy night and day, and that the business of his road would double and quadruple as the waters of the Cumberland fell. A still more earnest protest came from the people of Tennessee, who had already suffered so many hardships during the war and now saw themselves threatened with famine by the action of the Union general. They appealed to the President, who interposed his good word with Sherman in behalf of the Tennesseeans. He replied that the railroad could not supply the army and the people too. One or the other must quit, he said. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of Lincoln Nearly three hundred years ago a Dutch ship sailed up the river to Jamestown bearing a strange cargo. The cargo was twenty negroes, and the were sold as slaves to the colonists. This was the way in which negro slavery began in this country. The buying and selling of men and making them serve their masters without pay went on for many years. As the United States grew larger this traffic in men grew until at last people began to be afraid slavery would spread over all the country. At first only a few people thought slavery was wrong. These talked and wrote about it until more and more people joined them in this belief. The quarrel grew and grew and waged fiercely between the people who believed in slavery and those who did not. Then at last this country was plunged into a cruel war. The Northern people who wished to put an end to slavery fought against the Southern people who owned the slaves. This war lasted several years. Many brave men died and many precious lives were lost that the negro might be free. The man who did more than any other to free the slaves and keep this country as one nation was Abraham Lincoln.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Lincoln Standing like a tower, Our children shall behold his fame The kindly-earnest, brave, foreseeing man, Sagacious, patient, dreading praise not blame, New birth of our new soil, the first American. Born on the twelfth day of February, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was a descendant of those hardy pioneers, who with no capital but strength and courage, a keen axe and an unerring rifle, carved new states from the solid Wilder ness, and built a great nation. In 1780, the grandfather of Abraham Lincoln, after whom President Lincoln was named, moved from Virginia to the fertile valleys of Kentucky, to settle near his friend and relative, Daniel Boone. Choosing a pleasant location, he built a log cabin and for six years worked diligently at clearing his new farm, always with his rifle near at hand, for the Kentucky forests were full of Indians, who, hidden behind trees or in thickets, watched for an opportunity to kill the white man and his helpless family, or to burn and destroy their dwellings.
