Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's in TownHe served for the duration of the war, and was mustered out on July 10, 1832, at White Water, on the Rock river in Wisconsin. With a friend he made his way back to Sangamon county on foot and by canoe, for his horse had been lost in service.These are the brief facts of Lincoln's only service in the armed forces of the United States, except when he commanded the armies and navy of the United States in the Civil war.He looked deep into the heart of the American volunteer in those three brief months of service from April to July 1832. 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. The knowledge was priceless when it came to commanding hundreds of thousands of the sons and grandsons of these same types of volunteers in the Civil war.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Lincoln s New Salem Classic Reprint written by Benjamin Platt Thomas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's New Salem No other portion of Lincoln's life lends itself so readily to intensive study of his environment as do his six years at New Salem. His physical surroundings have been re-created. The names and occupations of practically all of his asso ciates and something of the character of many of them are known. The village was small enough to make practicable a reasonably complete description of its people and its life. Aside from its connection with Lincoln, New Salem is important as an example of a typical American pioneer vil lage. There were hundreds like it. Some of them survived others died, as it did. It is one of the few - perhaps the only one - whose founding, growth and decline can be minutely traced. Part One of this book is devoted to the history Of New Sa lem. It tells who the inhabitants were, how they lived, how they looked on life. Since many of those most active in the village lived in outlying settlements the account is not limited to the village, but provides a picture of the whole community. Part One sets the stage, so to speak; for Part Two, in which Lincoln's activities are discussed, and the meaning of the New Salem years in his development is ap praised. Part Three explains the growth of the Lincoln legend around the site of the lost town, and the changing conception of the significance of the frontier as a factor in Lincoln's life. It explains how New Salem came to be re stored, the manner in which the facts about the old cabins were secured, how the furnishings were acquired, and the problems that had to be solved in the restoration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Lincoln The Genius of History will surely vindicate her right to truth, though a whole people conspire against her. So the man behind the mask, whether it be placed there by himself or others, must at length come forth in his own true character. We have seen, as has been well said, the Lincoln legend in actual process of evolution, and cannot again be surprised at the historical myths that have come down to us from more uncritical ages. But legend and myth must give way before conscientious investigation, an investigation which brings out suppressed facts and points an unerring finger at fallacies and fabrications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln and His Generals The visitor to Philadelphia's beautiful Fairmount Park will see on a hill overlooking the Schuylkill River a plain board shanty with the United States flag flying over it. It is the cabin used as head quarters by Grant at City Point on the James River, in 1864 and 1865. In that room the orders were written which directed the far flung armies of the nation in the last year of the Civil War. As one passes the cabin it is not difficult to see, in imagination, some of the chief military and political actors of the great drama: the severe and scholarly Meade, the dynamic Sheridan, the 'superb' Han cock, the thoughtful Warren, the big and manly Burnside, the restless Sherman, with the fire of genius burning in his eyes, the capable Porter, Grant smoking a cigar, a hand thrust into his pocket, and Lincoln with his high silk hat and frock coat, and melancholy countenance.

The shores of that river, Since dotted with thriving villages, were then, for the most part, still fringed by the forest, as in the primitive state of nature. The canoe of the savage had, till then, almost monopolized its waters, as the wants of commerce had not yet called to their aid its facil ities of navigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln His Last Resting Place: A Leaflet Published for Distribution at the National Lincoln Monument in the City of Springfield, Illinois The chosen of God Mas slain in his high places. Our Moses who has led us through these four wilderness years, has been summoned of God, and now the whole nation stands in tearful agony around the mount whither his feet have gone up. Our joy and our sorrow stand side by side in the great book of God. The cloud of incense all radiant with light, had a fringe of sackcloth. It was a dark morning that saw our President die. The heavens were weeping. The sun bid himself in shadows, and the angel who bore his great spirit aloft was muffled in clouds. Fit emblem of those mightier shadows which rested upon our hearts. Strong type of those holier tears which were shed by a loving and noble people. The people's President and friend is dead, and it is proper in the calm light of this holy Sabbath that we call to mind the lessons of his life and death. Mr. Lincoln was most heartily a man of the people. Educated not in lordly halls, surrounded not with wealth and refinement Taken from the circle of no hereditary greatness, he was cradled in the bosom of poverty. He was trained in the rough school of adversity. His hands were made to work - his mind was made to think. He had just that elementary training necessary to fit him to be a guide in our night of danger. In those master struggles with poverty, his mind was prepared to lead the destinies of a struggling nation. Adversity is the school of greatness. Great minds are rocked in the hammock of the storms. The leaders of grand developments need this strong preparation. It is the school of God. Contending in youth with obstacles, ribs the heart with oak. All successful leaders of revolutions have been thus educated. Moses, God's chosen, must go into the wilderness for many years, to get the necessary discipline to withstand the trials before him. Christ was born in the manger - he wandered on the mountains, that he might go in joy to his triumphant death. God prepares His own leaders. He commissions His own Captains. Angels of God stand around the cradle of those men whose feet are to bring good tidings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
