Springfield, one might say, was permeated with the spirit of Lincoln. The house where I went to school with other little Springfield girls was the house in which he had been married. The desk in a corridor of the chief hotel, upon which we did not hesitate to perch at class dances, had been Lincoln's. The house where Lincoln had lived, and where his children had been born, was Open to the public. One took country cousins to see its interior. The monu ment where he slept dominated the cemetery. The bristling groups of bronze soldiers at the four corners of the shaft were of endless interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Miss. Ann Rutledge, New Salem, Pioneering and the Poem: A Lecture Delivered in the Old Sangamon Country Court House, November, 1866 William H. Herndon had curiously announced his lecture for the evening of November 16, 1866, as on Abraham Lincoln, Miss Ann Rutledge, New Salem, Pioneering, and the Poem Yet that strange title attracted only a meagre group of people to the Court House in Springfield, Illinois, to hear him interpret their friend and his late law partner, the Martyred President. He had lectured on Lincoln thrice before, and it's likely that some who heard all four lectures asked themselves in wonder what was Billy Herndon driving at? Actually this was a trial flight for the biography he purposed. Cer tainly none had opportunity to know Abraham Lin coln better, and since that sorrowful day when the body of their neighbor had lain in state in the Illi nois state house, Herndon had been visited by many an ambitious writer seeking to levy on his store of facts and memories. That had been a disillusioning experience. Already he could perceive the folk spirit of a people busy making its herointo a demi god. He could not recognize the Lincoln whom he knew in what resulted.

He learned their thoughts, learned their habits, learned to command them, learned to work and march and fight with them, these men who have always been the backbone of American armed forces.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln in Indiana Southern Indiana and southern Illinois, both having been very largely peopled from the South, it was not strange that there was a large element whose sympathies were favorable to the Southern Confederacy. But there were large numbers in both States, many of them friends and supporters of Judge Douglas, who were intensely loyal to the Union.
