Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Own Stories Abraham Lincoln was a man of steel nerves, clear mental grasp, stanch convictions, and adamantine will, though withal a man of the gentlest and kindliest character; and his for bearance and patience were almost infinite. He was the genius of common sense. His steps forward were always well timed, and some one said that he was never oppressed with that curse of genius, the self-consciousness of petty things. He had the faculty of picking out the essentials of a question and allowing the non-essentials to take care of themselves.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln Classic Reprint written by Ellis Paxson Oberholtzer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln My own antecedents are all Northern and my sympathies, had I lived in that time, would have been with the North as against negro slavery, and the strict constructionist and state-rights View of the Constitution. These facts, however, cannot prevent me from appreciating honesty of motive, sincerity of purpose, political talent and sagacity, military valor, and patience under great suffering after the war, on the part of the Southern people. Much of what they did, when the final estimate is given, must make us feel very proud that we are Sprung from a common stock, that our destiny was the same before the great difference arose, and that it is to be one henceforward. They are a part of us, and we are a part of them, together ennobled, very likely, by the trial, as Lincoln was by sore distress, for the tasks to be performed side by side in this century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln, Emancipator of the Nation: A Narrative History of Lincoln's Boyhood and Manhood Based on His Own Writings, Original Research, Official Documents, and Other Authoritative Information It is a strange fact - and one that is often forgotten or slurred - that Lincoln, in whom all the hopes of the North were centered during the Civil War, was a Southerner both by birth and inheritance. Indeed he was, in a way, a born and bred Virginian, for his native state - Kentucky - was owned by Virginia up to within a few years of his birth and the bulk of its population was recruited from the Old Dominion.

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.
