Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Memorial: Hodgenville, Kentucky, "the Birthplace of Lincoln" The first direct reference to the Lincoln cabin which we find in court documents is in a deed of conveyance made on September 27, 1852. One line in the survey refers to the spring where the said Horne now lives. Horne was evidently dwelling in the Lincoln cabin. The names of those who owned this cabin before Henry B. Horne, and who may have had children born in the same cabin in which Lincoln was born are to be found in the deed books of Hardin and larue Counties. Their names are as follows: William Duckworth, George Burkhart, Henry Thomas, John Gash, Henry Brothers, Charles F. Huss, William Huss, and William J. Thomas. Mr. Horne sold the cabin to Royal P. Hankla, who many years later disposed of it and the surrounding acres to Richard Creal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Mr. President and Gentlemen - As I am informed, the Cherry Tree Club meets once each year to commemorate the birthday of the Father of his Country. Your club is composed almost entirely of'young men, most of whom were born since the close of the Civil War, and few, if any, of you were old enough at that time to have any personal recollection of the events that marked the most tragic period in the history of the Republic. I am asked to portray the character of the man who was not only the central figure in that Titanic struggle, but whose memory is, and will ever be, enshrined in the hearts of all' liberty-loving people throughout the habitable globe. May I not hope that you will bear with me if I shall attempt more than a brief pass ing tribute to the character of this remarkable man. May I not be indulged in an endeavor to quicken in your minds the meaning of that great epoch in our history, while bring ing to your attention some of the conspicuous characteristics of the man about whom I am to speak, and some of the events connected with which he will always be the one prominent personality. In devotion to his country; in breadth of statesman ship; in exalted character; in blameless private life, the name of Abraham Lincoln will grow brighter with the ages - the synonym of true greatness - the harbinger of that period to which we all look, of peace on earth, good will to man. In his early days he struck his roots deep down into the common soil of the earth, and in his latest years his head towered and shone among the stars!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Birthday Service: Address In 1816, when Abraham Lincoln was between seven and eight years of age, the family went to Indiana to find there a new home. Here Thomas Lincoln, the father, built a primitive lodge, or what was called by the pioneers a half - faced camp. It was closed on but three sides, the open side being towards the south. It was intended for temporary shelter only, but the Lincolns lived in it for a year. In 1818 Lincoln's mother died. She had borne so much hardship, so much deprivation, and she died in the wide forest, died as the leaf dies, leaving nothing to her son but the memory of her love. Can there be a more pitiful story than that of Thomas Lincoln and his little son, assisted by the relatives, young boys to whom poor Nancy had been kind, hewing out for her __a rude coffin from a rough log, and then laying the pathetic remains away, with no preacher or teacher to make even a brief prayer? It is said that the first letter Abraham Lincoln ever wrote was to a minister, Elder David Elkin, asking him to come and preach a sermon over this poor mother. And the minister did come, months after, and comforted the boy and his sister with the long delayed sermon. The little Sarah was only eleven years old, and the labors of keeping the home were too arduous for her. The next year, 1819, Thomas Lincoln left his little family and went back to Kentucky on a visit. Dennis Hanks. Mr. Lincoln's cousin, quaintly says: We all knowed what Tom went for, but we did not think he would have any luck; he was known to be so shiftless and such a poor provider. But he did have luck, the best of luck, for the widower brought back to the Indiana home a new wife, who was in every way and in everysense a mother to the forlorn little family, and was the means ofbringing some comfort into their lives. Young Abraham loved her dearly and she helped him all she could to get the education for which his soul thirsted; he was a dutiful son to her, as long as he lived. On March 1, 1830, when Abraham Lincoln was just twenty-one years of age, he, with his father and fam ily, moved to Illinois; so that while Mr. Lincoln was not born in Illinois, he was a citizen of the State dur ing all the years of his manhood. The family settled about ten miles west of Decatur, and here Lincoln helped to clear the ground for a new cabin and fenced the clearing with walnut rails which he helped to split. Some of the rails, perhaps you will remember, were brought into the Decatur convention of 1860, when Mr. Lincoln's name was before the country - not be fore the State Convention - as a probable candidate for the Presidency, and these rails are now historic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Tributes From His Associates, Reminiscences of Soldiers, Statesmen and Citizens This Volume is not one man's View, nor two men's View, of Abraham Lincoln. It is no portrait biography by a single admirer giving a single picture Of the most picturesque, perhaps the most noble, character in Ameri can history. It is a portfolio of portraits, one of them, careful and labored, by ex-secretary of the Treasury Boutwell, others, vivid and striking snap-shots by men on whose memory some single interview had impressed itself as a great event in their lives; others, single scenes in which President Lincoln was the prominent figure. All these together supply a grand composite picture, the separate parts all blending in one harmonious whole, and supplying such a complete, many-sided view of the man as has never before been given to the American people.

Download or read book Lincoln in American Memory written by Merrill D. Peterson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995-06-01 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lincoln's death, like his life, was an event of epic proportions. When the president was struck down at his moment of triumph, writes Merrill Peterson, "sorrow--indescribable sorrow" swept the nation. After lying in state in Washington, Lincoln's body was carried by a special funeral train to Springfield, Illinois, stopping in major cities along the way; perhaps a million people viewed the remains as memorial orations rang out and the world chorused its sincere condolences. It was the apotheosis of the martyred President--the beginning of the transformation of a man into a mythic hero. In Lincoln in American Memory, historian Merrill Peterson provides a fascinating history of Lincoln's place in the American imagination from the hour of his death to the present. In tracing the changing image of Lincoln through time, this wide-ranging account offers insight into the evolution and struggles of American politics and society--and into the character of Lincoln himself. Westerners, Easterners, even Southerners were caught up in the idealization of the late President, reshaping his memory and laying claim to his mantle, as his widow, son, memorial builders, and memorabilia collectors fought over his visible legacy. Peterson also looks at the complex responses of blacks to the memory of Lincoln, as they moved from exultation at the end of slavery to the harsh reality of free life amid deep poverty and segregation; at more than one memorial event for the great emancipator, the author notes, blacks were excluded. He makes an engaging examination of the flood of reminiscences and biographies, from Lincoln's old law partner William H. Herndon to Carl Sandburg and beyond. Serious historians were late in coming to the topic; for decades the myth-makers sought to shape the image of the hero President to suit their own agendas. He was made a voice of prohibition, a saloon-keeper, an infidel, a devout Christian, the first Bull Moose Progressive, a military blunderer and (after the First World War) a military genius, a white supremacist (according to D.W. Griffith and other Southern admirers), and a touchstone for the civil rights movement. Through it all, Peterson traces five principal images of Lincoln: the savior of the Union, the great emancipator, man of the people, first American, and self-made man. In identifying these archetypes, he tells us much not only of Lincoln but of our own identity as a people.
