Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Lincoln Herring Chrisman, as his memoirs herein reveal, knew the late President personally as his friend and kinsman while both were residents of Illinois. That Mr. Lincoln not only appreciated the fact of their friendship but readily acknowledged their kinship is of first importance to the genealogist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memoir of Abraham Lincoln Not many days will elapse from the printing of these pages ere the sun will rise on a new president. James Buchanan will have retired from power, and Abraham Lincoln will reign in his stead. Already, for every biographical purpose, he is the actual president: already he has become the cynosure; already the eyes of men are fixed on him. And in his person is presented for the admiration of civilized nations a spectacle, the simple grandeur of which is far more impressive to the thoughtful mind than all the pomp and pageantry of emperor and king.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Lincoln As the close of day was fast approaching, the weird appearance of the atmosphere was still more wonderful, and as owl light set in we safely arrived in Springfield. Next day at a timely hour, armed with letters of introduction given us by Governor Chase, Hon. Thomas Ewing, and others, we presented ourselves at Lincoln's office, then located in the State Capitol of Illinois. Although surrounded by a few political friends he received us kindly, and it was rather flattering to our vanity, however, for he seemed to know us by intuition. As he was a prompt man, he lost no time in proceeding to business, and inquired how I made my busts. I gave him a brief description of my process.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Memoirs: From the Log Cabin to the White House A new century has come, since Lincoln gave up his life for his country. All the conditions with which he was familiar have changed. America has become a world power, with all the responsibilities that the term implies. All things have become new.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Braham lincoln is one Of the greatest A names in the world. The parents who gave it to their boy were so poor that they lived in a house where there was only one room. But it matters very little whether houses are big or small. It is the men and women living there who make them either noble. Or mean. And thus, though Abraham Lincoln was born in a tiny, one-roomed cottage, through his uprightness, his hard work, and his natural cleverness he not only became President Of the United States, but, what is more, he left in the world such an impression of nobility that as long as the world Shall last he will be remembered and honoured. It was a cold, dark day in February 1809 when Lincoln was born in a lonely, desolate spot in the backwoods of Kentucky. The little wooden house was not much better than a shed. The one room in it had to be used as a kitchen, dining-room, sitting room, and bedroom, all in one. There was no door to keep out the cold draughts, but a large skin hung over the entrance and helped to make it warm, and a pile Of huge logs crackled and glowed in the big, open fireplace. The window was only a square hole cut in the Side of the wooden wall, through which the bitter wind rushed whistling in. On very cold days the skin of an animal shot in the woods near by would be fastened across this Opening to shut out, the freezing air, but this meant that the light would be shutout too, so that it was only on the coldest days that the window was darkened.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln There is no doubt that for some time prior to the assassination Of Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Arnold had contemplated writing his life. Previous to that event, and while yet a member of Congress, he had commenced to write the History of Abraham Lincoln and the Overthrow Of Slavery, which he completed and published in 1867. He brought to the preparation of that work the qualities Of an able and conscientious historian, who wrote very largely from personal knowledge and personal observation. It is a book of real interest and exceptional historic value. Important and valuable facts are to be obtained therein which are not to be found elsewhere. This work was never entirely satisfactory to Mr. Arnold, so far as it related to Mr. Lincoln, and hence some two years since he determined to write in a stricter sense the life Of Mr. Lincoln, in the light Of additional material he had gathered, and disconnected with the history of the overthrow of slavery, except in so far as the subject was connected generally with the administration of Mr. Lincoln.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Last Year of President Lincoln's Life On the morning of the second of February, 1865, between nine and ten o'clock, as I was ascending the stairs to the second story, to reach my room, I met Forbes, an intelligent servant, descending with a small valise in his hand, and I asked, Where are you going? Look ing up to see that no one was near, he whispered, Fortress Monroe, and hurried on. When I reached the upper hall I met the president with his overcoat, and going to my room looked out of the window and saw him quietly walking around the curved pavement which leads to Pennsylvania Avenue, while Forbes was following at a dis tance of two or three hundred feet, as his valet. Waiting for some time I then crossed the hall to the room of the principal secretary, Mr. John G. N icolay, and quietly said, The president has left the city What do you mean? He asked; and I replied, Just what I have said. Rising quickly, he opened the door which communi cated with the president's room, and was astonished to find the chair of Mr. Lincoln vacant. The president had received a dispatch which convinced him that it was proper to go to Fortress Monroe and confer with the rebel commissioners, Alexander Stephens, R. M. T. Hunterand J. A. Campbell, and at nine o'clock that morning sent the follow ing telegram to Secretary Seward, already there: Induced by a dis patch from Gen. Grant, I join you at Fortress Monroe.
