Gould, and others give life and color to the first months of the Lincoln administration. John P. Usher, Mr. Lincoln's second Secretary of the Interior, measures in old age his chief's quiet and easy dominance of self-willed and masterful men, and his secretaries, John G. Nicolay and John Hay, write with delightful yet reverent intimacy of life in the White House when the fate of the nation was trembling in the balance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Lincoln As the close of day was fast approaching, the weird appearance of the atmosphere was still more wonderful, and as owl light set in we safely arrived in Springfield. Next day at a timely hour, armed with letters of introduction given us by Governor Chase, Hon. Thomas Ewing, and others, we presented ourselves at Lincoln's office, then located in the State Capitol of Illinois. Although surrounded by a few political friends he received us kindly, and it was rather flattering to our vanity, however, for he seemed to know us by intuition. As he was a prompt man, he lost no time in proceeding to business, and inquired how I made my busts. I gave him a brief description of my process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Lincoln Herring Chrisman, as his memoirs herein reveal, knew the late President personally as his friend and kinsman while both were residents of Illinois. That Mr. Lincoln not only appreciated the fact of their friendship but readily acknowledged their kinship is of first importance to the genealogist. These pages, it is believed, are the first to show that Mr. Lincoln, himself, was aware of his Herring descent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Lincoln My Comrades and Friends: If there is any person living who should be grateful for such an opportunity as this, and before such an audience, to pay his tribute to Abraham Lincoln, it is myself, for as President he raised me from a citizen to the highest command and highest rank in the army. He was my friend from the time I first met him until I helped to lay him away in Springfield, Illinois. No one can appreciate what that friendship and what his acts were to me, unless they have experienced the benefit of it as I have. Now, before I take up the subject I am to speak upon, I want to read to you Abraham Lincoln's own biography of himself, to show you from what a simple and low station he arose to be a great General, a great Statesman, a most just and kind ruler - the best of this era. In a letter to Mr. F. Fell he writes: I was born February 12, 1809, in Hardin county, Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia of undistinguished families - second families perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in my tenth year, was of a family of the name of Hanks, some of whom now reside in Adams and others in Macon counties, Illinois. My paternal grandfather.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of President Lincoln: And Other Lyrics of the War Whitman did not subject Lincoln to the lit crary but to the human motive. Lincoln does not become a literary figure by his touch. Does not become a man in a book. After Whitman is done with him Lincoln still remains Lincoln. No way reduced. No way aggrandized. Only better understood. His background does not become a book. His background remains what it was. Remains life. Generic life. As life is where life finds life at the root. I may let Whitman put in'a word for himself. Whitman said to me of Lincoln. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections and Impressions of Abraham Lincoln Someone has said, That nation is death-stricken that ceases to reverence the memory of her great men. And so we in America are raising memorials to our Washingtons, our Lincolns, our Grants, our Roosevelts, and are commemorating their birth days. The British are doing the same for their great heroes. There is a good deal in common between our British cousins and ourselves. John Wesley was a Britisher but there are millions in our land to-day who also claim him as theirs. No man could possibly be more of an American than was Abraham Lincoln, but today he belongs to the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Memory of Lincoln: Poems Selected With an Introduction The memory of Abraham Lincoln is preserved through the record of the impressions he made upon many minds representing many phases of thought and action in war and peace. Since this record deals in general with outward acts, it is well worth while to supplement it by a consideration of inward impulses. The outward act is but the flowering of a seed which lies within the soul. To this interior ground the poets guide our eyes, and what they reveal to us there explains everything. It is needed but to know truly the heart of a man in order to be sure of the words he will speak and the deeds he will perform when the occasion is ripe for speech and action.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Memoirs: From the Log Cabin to the White House A new century has come, since Lincoln gave up his life for his country. All the conditions with which he was familiar have changed. America has become a world power, with all the responsibilities that the term implies. All things have become new. The bitter animosities, extreme partisanship and sectional hatred that was so long a part of public life, have given way to the resist less spirit of progress. Those who were once bitter foes, meet to day in the world of business as friends. Nor is the love of gain the only incentive to this new relation ship.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln written by Robert Brewster Stanton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Personal Memories of the Man When the dark days of '61 came my father recognized that perhaps God, in his inscrutable knowledge, knew a better way, and he became a war parson and was one of the foremost in his calling to hold up the hands of the war President, and, unlike some other abolitionists of that day, he stayed by him to the end. It has always been my belief that the reason why Abraham Lincoln and my father became such Warm friends was be cause he brought to the President a cer tain inside knowledge of the South and its people, from an earnest and loyal fol lower, and Mr. Lincoln welcomed such direct information when they discussed together the perplexing problems of those days, as they so often did. Thus it came about that I, even so young, going with my father, came to know Mr. Lincoln personally, and was able to sit with him for hours at a time, in his private office at the White House, and listen to those talks and discussions and observe him at close range, and study his every word and action at times when there was nothing to disturb, and when only one or two others were in the room.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences About Abraham Lincoln In the dawn of the 20th century, looking backward through the vista of time, I recall my first knowledge of Lincoln. Early in the forties, my father, then a resident of the state of Indiana, had correspondence with him pertaining to business of the anti - slavery cause, in which my father was a zealous worker; and previous to this Lincoln had declare-d his opposition to slavery and its extension, basing his opinion on facts experienced in the South where he had been reared. Thus I came to know something of his individual character and sterling qualities of mind and heart prior to meeting him.
