Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln as Commander-in-Chief Ate commanders is indeed painful. The Confederate officers who started out as military leaders in the beginning of the war, as a rule were its Chieftains at the close. The Johnstons, Cooper, Lee, Beau regard, Jackson, Longstreet, Hill, Kirby Smith, Ewell, Early, Bragg, Hood, Fitz Hugh Lee, Stuart, and others, either fellin the flame of battle, leading high commands, or emerged from the war with the highest distinction. On the other side, not one of the men who cameout of the war with the grateful plaudits of the country as chief tains of the Union, was known to military fame when Sumter was fired upon. One by one Lincoln's commanders fell by the wayside, and he was constantly perplexed with the sense of the fearful responsibility he was compelled to assume in the assign ment of commanders to the different ar mies. This necessity naturally called for the employment of his supreme powers, and compelled him to exercise the sound est discretion time and again, as failure followed failure in his great work of over throwing the rebellion. Lincoln had learned the painful lesson of Scott's in ability to perform the duties expected of him by the country, and on the 29th of June, 1861, he called the first council of war, which embraced his cabinet, Scott, and other military men. It was there that mcdowell's plan for the advance on Ma nassas was decided upon. Lincoln did not advise, but assented to it, and Scott gave a reluctant assent only when he learned that it was a public necessity for the army to advance, as the term of the three months' men would soon expire. The history of that battle is known in all its details to experienced military men. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: "James M. McPherson’s Tried by War is a perfect primer . . . for anyone who wishes to understand the evolution of the president’s role as commander in chief. Few historians write as well as McPherson, and none evoke the sound of battle with greater clarity." —The New York Times Book Review The Pulitzer Prize–winning author reveals how Lincoln won the Civil War and invented the role of commander in chief as we know it As we celebrate the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, this study by preeminent, bestselling Civil War historian James M. McPherson provides a rare, fresh take on one of the most enigmatic figures in American history. Tried by War offers a revelatory (and timely) portrait of leadership during the greatest crisis our nation has ever endured. Suspenseful and inspiring, this is the story of how Lincoln, with almost no previous military experience before entering the White House, assumed the powers associated with the role of commander in chief, and through his strategic insight and will to fight changed the course of the war and saved the Union.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States written by William Harrison Lambert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States: Annual Oration Delivered Before the Society of the Army of the Potomac When forty thousand Frenchmen, chafing under the impe rial rule that had overthrown their loved Republic, sought to express their sympathy with the American people in the hour of its profound grief, they presented to the widow Of the martyred President a massive gold medal, upon which was inscribed this summary Of his work, this legend Of his eternal fame: lincoln the honest man - abolished slavery, RE established the union - saved the republic - without veil ing the form OF liberty. From the highest reach that Mr. Lincoln had attained before his accession to the Presidency to the zenith of his career, the space seems incalculable. The study Of his earlier life shows indeed that he possessed clearness of thought, remarkable gift Of expression, native sagacity, honesty Of purpose, and courage Of conviction that he was devoted to the rights Of man, and that he loved his country; but that he possessed elementsof greatness in such degree as was revealed by the war, could not have been surmised from aught he had said or done. And that he should manifest so soon and so signally his ability to rule a great nation in the most dangerous period Ofits existence; that he should overtower his associates, and prove that more than they he was fitted to save the government; that he could wield a power vastly greater than that which had been possessed by his predecessors and surpassing that exercised by any contemporary ruler, king or emperor, could not have been foreseen by any lacking divine inspiration. Not by graded steps, but by giant stride, Lincoln reached the height of power, achievement, and fame. True, the progress Of the war revealed growth in his charac ter, thought, and force, and he stood conspicuously higher at its close than at its beginning; but at its opening it was apparent that Providence had so shaped the country's destiny that the man who had been chosen mainly because of his availability as a presidential candidate was far and away the one man for the Office and the work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from President Lincoln as War Statesman The views of these professedly military histories, mingled in varying proportions, we find swallowed whole by the writers of many general histories who repeat, parrot-like, jibes against Lincoln's imbecile vacillation or bull-headed blundering, as the case may be, without attempting to understand or to analyze the points under discussion. Amid all this harsh condemnation the singu lar fact stands out that the common people, in whose good sense and judgment Lincoln so firmly trusted, have returned the compliment; they have not only refused to accept the quips of the captions critics but, on the con trary, as James Schouler so aptly puts it, see more colossal as time recedes, the figure of Abraham Lincoln, towering above his contemporaries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln as Commander-in-Chief: Strategist; Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources As new Lincoln books come off the presses each year, there is a tendency to shove the older biographies of Lincoln into darker and more inaccessible corners of the bookshelves. Each generation of Lincoln students has a hazier recognition than the preceding one of the contributions of early Lincoln biographers and historians. It is foolish to bemoan a process that is inevitable and, in fact, a sign that the field still thrives and produces fresh literature.
