Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marks of Lincoln on Our Land Marks of Lincoln on Our Land is a study in pictures of the life of Abraham Lincoln - an extraordinary life which be came a unique chapter in history and which has been recorded across our country in a phenomenal number of landmarks, statues and memorials. These shrines and markers which posterity has erected to honor the Great Emancipator have followed in his wake wherever he went in his brilliant rise from log cabin to White House, from rural obscurity to Pres idency, from frontier innocence to national tragedy. This pictorial treasury has a three-fold purpose: to serve as a guide book to the markers and memorials themselves; to relate in its essential outline the story of Lincoln's life, which is, indeed, most interestingly traced in the very events the memorials commemorate; and finally, to stimulate its readers to travel in person the historic trail of the Lincoln monuments.

As mountains seem less glorious, viewed too nigh, So often do the great whom we decry Gigantic loom to our astonished gaze, When they are dead. For, shamed by largeness, littlenesses die; And, partisan and narrow hates put by, We shrine our heroes for the future days, And to atone our ignorant delays With fond and emulous devotion try, When they are dead!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln No man has expressed the feelings of America so well as President Lincoln, and no man in this or any other land has been more truly great. He was the child of poor parents. He was born in a log cabin. He went to school but little, because he lived where there were no schools. When a boy and young man he worked hard with his hands and it gave him a healthy body. He studied a few good books and it gave him a clear head. He liked history. He mastered mathematics and did surveying. He was interested in politics, and his mind' grasped the laws easily. He read about the principles of government, and thought about the rights of men. He became a lawyer. He was elected to the Legislature of Illinois, and then to the Congress of the United States. The experiences thus gained helped to make him a suc cessful lawyer._ He was much interested in the affairs of the people, in universal justice, and in the good of his country. He thought for himself, and he thought hard and straight. He had a keen sense of humor and a fine gift of wit. He wrote so plainly, and he spoke in public so clearly, that all the people could under stand him. But he had even greater qualities. His habits were simple and he lived without great show. He was true and sin cere, and the people believed in him. All these things made him a leader, a statesman, and a very great man. The country was deeply agitated about slavery. It had existed in all of the states in earlier years, and it then existed in all of the Southern States, where there were five millions of slaves. He abhorred human bondage, but he abhorred war also. The laws allowed slavery in the South, and he thought it impossible to change the laws and abolish slavery without bringing on a war between the Northern and the isouthern States. He hoped for an easier and better way. But many tried to carry slavery into the new states and territories that were being 'formed beyond the Mississippi river. He was Opposed to that, whether war came or not. He spoke hundreds of times against it, and what he said made him President of the United States. This brought on a dreadful war, which lasted four years. Great armies of citizens were organized to save the Union. Half a million of the best men in the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation This meeting took place on Tuesday, July 2 2, 1 862, a regular Cabinet day. All members were present, although Blair came in late. Carpenter continues Lincoln's words: I said to the Cabinet that I had resolved upon this step, and had not called them together to ask their advice, but to lay the subject-matter of a proclamation before them; suggestions as to which would be in order, after they had heard it read. Various suggestions were offered. Nothing, however, was offered that I had not already fully anticipated and settled in my own mind, until Secretary Seward spoke. He said in substance: Mr. President, I approve of the proclamation, but I question the expediency of its issue at this juncture. It may be viewed as the last measure of an exhausted government, a cry for help; the government stretching forth its hands to Ethiopia, instead of Ethiopia stretch ing forth her hands to the government.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln in the Light of His Age: A Centenary Memorial Here the Real M an stands forth - the actual output of his mind being his best interpreter. Inevitably the complete works of even so practical a man as Lincoln, must contain much of scant value to the average student. This busy age demands that the wisdom of even the greatest shall be so culled and classified, that the actually im portant be got at quickly. For Lincoln this is accomplished From his first words-about his m'other to the last before the fatal shot, Lincoln tells his own story; everything extraneous, the mere reiteration of history known to all, being avoided. It is history-biography by quotation; arranged with unique chron ological-topical sequence, carrying the whole forward like a narrative. As the Preface states it, The quotations are not detached, unrelated fragments; each is short or long as its importance commands; collectively they are so related as to present a straight-forward record of the great problems which occupied Lincoln's mind. The result is the presentation in the smallest possible compass of every really great utterance of Lincoln's ever printed.
