Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln These personal reminiscences, written in a fragmentary way by my husband during the last few months of his life, when he was confined to the house the greater part of the time, I have gathered together, feeling that the friends who knew something of his great admiration for Abraham Lincoln would be interested. Much of it came to him from close personal observation, and at a time when it was indelibly impressed on his mind and heart. It is this that would seem to make it worth while to those who knew him best. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He was elected a State Senator in the Springfield Senatorial District at the November election, 1860, becoming at that time a leading Republican, and has so continued until the present.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln: An Address I do not purpose in my remarks today to proceed into any extended relation of the justly celebrated political debate between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas in 1858, or concerning Mr. Lincoln's administration of the Federal Government from 1861 to 1865, because both are known to every intelligent and well informed person in our whole country, and more especially, as the great debate and the transactions of the period of the civil war is an open book, with the contents of which you all are familiar. I purpose to relate facts bearing upon his early days and incidents of his life, which are personally known to me; incidents which may seem small in themselves, but yet serve to show and illustrate the habits, traits of disposition and character, the heart and head, the humor and melancholy, in a word, the peculiar and varied moods in all affairs, great or small, private or public, of this pure, kind, gentle, decided, and steadfast man. He was sensitive and conscientious at all times and in every relation of life, and never in youth or man hood did he knowingly do wrong to any one. More than forty years have passed since his tragic death; seventy years are past and gone since he bade farewell to New Salem and the friends of his early manhood and settled in Springfield to commence the practice of law with John T. Stuart, his colleague in the Illinois Legislature of 1836. Probably there is not a man or woman living today who was of adultage when Mr. Lincoln left Salem. Before many years have come and gone the last person who has taken Mr. Lincoln by the hand and looked into that kind, familiar face will have passed from earth. So it is well that those who knew him should gather up facts, great and small, honestly related without prejudice or partiality. Let us, in narrating events and the story of his life, cling close to truth and the man, then those who come after us will know the real man - the true Lincoln. Let me repeat, if the story of his life is truthfully and courageously told - nothing colored or suppressed; nothing false either written or suggested - the coming generation will see and feel the presence of the living man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Abraham Lincoln Lincoln lore has become so rich in recent years, and so voluminous withal, that he who would add to it must needs show cause why his book should be read. And yet, in spite of all that has been written, it cannot be said that we yet have a thoroughly satisfactory interpretation of the life and work and character of our First American. A few have had the necessary knowledge and sympathy, but their literary power has not always been adequate. Others have written well, but they have failed of insight and understanding. In the meantime the volume of facts, impressions, and reminiscences increases, and by assembling items from a variety of sources we are coming to a composite conception of our prophet-president that is at once vivid and satisfying.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences: 1840 1890; Including Some Not Hitherto Published of Lincoln and the War IF the opinion of a large body of correspondents is reliable, the read mg - public have derived some pleas ure from my Recollections of President Lincoln and his Administration. The chief attraction of that book must lie in its great central figure. If, as these correspondents claim, it has other merits, I think they are comprised in the fact that the subjects are personal, and each is treated separately in a chapter of no great length. It was also my purpose to describe persons and events Without exaggeration or prejudice, just as they appeared to me at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences About Abraham Lincoln In the dawn of the 20th century, looking backward through the vista of time, I recall my first knowledge of Lincoln. Early in the forties, my father, then a resident of the state of Indiana, had correspondence with him pertaining to business of the anti - slavery cause, in which my father was a zealous worker; and previous to this Lincoln had declare-d his opposition to slavery and its extension, basing his opinion on facts experienced in the South where he had been reared. Thus I came to know something of his individual character and sterling qualities of mind and heart prior to meeting him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections and Impressions of Abraham Lincoln Someone has said, That nation is death-stricken that ceases to reverence the memory of her great men. And so we in America are raising memorials to our Washingtons, our Lincolns, our Grants, our Roosevelts, and are commemorating their birth days. The British are doing the same for their great heroes. There is a good deal in common between our British cousins and ourselves. John Wesley was a Britisher but there are millions in our land to-day who also claim him as theirs. No man could possibly be more of an American than was Abraham Lincoln, but today he belongs to the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War A valued friend, who ranks as one of the ablest of American critics, to whom I have submitted these Recol lections for the purpose Of deciding whether they should, or should not, be given book publication, has just written me as follows: I have read the entire manuscript with very much interest and pleasure. It contains a great deal that is new to me and, I venture to say, that will be new to nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand of the generation who took no active part in the affairs of the country in war times.
