Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Visits Beloit and Janesville, Wisconsin: Contemporary Accounts of Anti-Slavery Speeches of October 1, 1859 Ith this publication, the Lincoln Fellowship of Wisconsin has now covered in its series of Historical Bulletins all visits of Abraham Lincoln to Wisconsin. The series began in 1943. The 1944 Bulletin contained an historian's account of Lincoln's first trip into Wisconsin (then a territory) when, in 1832, Lincoln was a private in a company of volunteers in the Black Hawk war. The author was Dr. Edward P. Alexander, then director of the Wisconsin Historical Society. The soldiers entered Wisconsin at Turtle, present site of Beloit. The previous annual issue was a reprint, with illustrations, of Lincoln's State Fair address on agriculture, delivered at Milwaukee on Sept. 30, 1859. (lincoln also spoke at the Newhall House in the evening). The 1945 Bulletin was devoted to all visits of Lincoln to the Badger State, but touched only briefly on the beloit-janesville visits. As prepared by the late George P. Hambrecht, first president of the Lincoln Fellowship, the-manuscript included the author's evidence tending to show that, sometime between 18 35 and 1840, Lincoln journeyed to 'sheboygan, by way of Milwaukee and the lake shore, with a View of Opening there a law office. Since these findings are not verified by actual records of Lincoln's day by day activities, as compiled by Lincoln historians, they may be regarded still as lacking full credence.

Book excerpt: This study represents the first scholarly treatment of the visits Abraham and Mary Lincoln made to the Badger State. Although they collectively visited Wisconsin five times, they traveled into the state at different times and never together. Abraham Lincoln entered the state's borders for the first time in 1832 during his military service in the Black Hawk War, returning in 1859 to make speeches in Milwaukee, Beloit, and Janesville. Mary traveled toured northern Wisconsin and Racine in 1867, returning five years later to take advantage of the healing waters of Waukesha.Aside from the visits, Wisconsin has numerous monuments, memorials, and markers which honor the Lincolns. Most of them are concentrated in southern Wisconsin, although some unusual tributes can be found in the Northwoods region. The monuments in the book have their own unique and sometimes unusual history, including donors who died prematurely, a sculptor who demolished his statue with an axe, a statue with a plaque that misidentifies its creator, and a Will that was contested all the way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to prevent funds from being used to create a Lincoln monument. The accounts about the Lincolns in Wisconsin, and the histories of their monuments, have never been collected in a single volume. Highly illustrated, including maps, this book will appeal to historians, travelers, tourists, families, scholars, and history lovers.

Book excerpt: In the fall of 1858, Abraham Lincoln looked to be anything but destined for greatness. Just shy of his fiftieth birthday, Lincoln was wallowing in the depths of despair following his loss to Stephen Douglas in the 1858 senatorial campaign and was taking stock in his life. The author takes us on a journey with Abraham Lincoln from the last weeks of 1858 until the end of May in 1860, on the road to his unlikely Republication presidential nomination. In tracing Lincoln's steps from city to city, from one public appearance to the next along the campaign trail, we see the future president shape and polish his public persona. Although he had accounted himself well in the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates, the man from Springfield, Illinois, he was nevertheless seen as the darkest of dark horses for the highest office in the land. Upon hearing Lincoln speak, one contemporary said, "I will not say he reminded me of Satan, but he certainly was the ungodliest figure I had ever seen." The reader sees how this "ungodliest" of figures shrewdly spun his platform to crowds far and wide and, in doing so, became a public celebrity on par with any throughout the land. This is a story teeming with drama and intrigue about an event that no one could fathom occurring today...yet it absolutely happened in with America seven score and eight years ago, when Lincoln, the man, took his first steps on the way toward becoming Abraham Lincoln, the legendary leader and most respected president of American history.
