Download or read book Lincoln Speeches written by Abraham Lincoln and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The defining rhetoric of Abraham Lincoln – politician, president, and emancipator Penguin presents a series of six portable, accessible, and—above all—essential reads from American political history, selected by leading scholars. Series editor Richard Beeman, author of The Penguin Guide to the U.S. Constitution, draws together the great texts of American civic life to create a timely and informative mini-library of perennially vital issues. Whether readers are encountering these classic writings for the first time, or brushing up in anticipation of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, these slim volumes will serve as a powerful and illuminating resource for scholars, students, and civic-minded citizens. As president, Abraham Lincoln endowed the American language with a vigor and moral energy that have all but disappeared from today's public rhetoric. His words are testaments of our history, windows into his enigmatic personality, and resonant examples of the writer's art. Renowned Lincoln and Civil War scholar Allen C. Guelzo brings together this volume of Lincoln Speeches that span the classic and obscure, the lyrical and historical, the inspirational and intellectual. The book contains everything from classic speeches that any citizen would recognize—the first debate with Stephen Douglas, the "House Divided" Speech, the Gettysburg Address, the Second Inaugural Address—to the less known ones that professed Lincoln fans will come to enjoy and intellectuals and critics praise. These orations show the contours of the civic dilemmas Lincoln, and America itself, encountered: the slavery issue, state v. federal power, citizens and their duty, death and destruction, the coming of freedom, the meaning of the Constitution, and what it means to progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Stories and Speeches Abraham Lincoln was not only a great American, but he was a man of outstanding personality. He was a simple man, a genial man, a human man, and an honest man. These characteristics, coupled with his rugged genius, add up to greatness. On December 20, 1859, he wrote a letter to his friend Jesse W. Fell, of Bloomington, Ill., telling something of his life and the history of his family. This was the year before his election to the Presidency, and the letter shows that he was not anxious to cover up his humble back ground. Here is the letter.

Download or read book Speeches Letters of Abraham Lincoln 1832 1865 written by Abraham Lincoln and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) is one of the most famous Americans in history and one of the country's most revered presidents. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the "Westerner" who educated himself and became a self made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln successfully navigated the Union through the Civil War but didn't live to witness his own accomplishment, becoming the first president assassinated when he was killed at Ford's Theater by John Wilkes Booth. As impressive as his presidency was, one of his most lasting legacies was his writing. In addition to masterful writing for everything from orders to his generals and condolences to the aggrieved Mrs. Bixby, his Second Inaugural Address and Gettysburg Address are considered masterpieces that rate among the greatest writings in American history. Perhaps Lincoln's most impressive feat is that he was able to convey so much with so few words; after famous orator Edward Everett spoke for hours at Gettysburg, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address only took a few minutes. In the generation after the Civil War, Lincoln became an American deity and one of the most written about men in history. Understandably, all of his writings and papers were intently scoured and collected, and they've been preserved in seven volumes of Papers and Writings. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The President's Words: A Selection of Passages From the Speeches, Addresses, and Letters of Abraham Lincoln The funeral service of the lgth of April, 1865, was the most impressive religious service ever held in this country. By one impulse, the people of the land thronged the churches, which, at the hour of the funeral of the President, were everywhere open. At that hour, more people in this land united in the public worship of God, than ever united in such service on any day. Before. In Massachusetts, the day has been historical for nearly two centuries. It is now marked by one more association, which will remain in memory till the young children of this generation have grown old and passed away.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln: With Extracts From His Speeches Like President Harrison, Mr. Lincoln has spent about one third part of his life in a log cabin. The structure which he assisted to erect was very rude, and scarcely sufficient to pro teet them from the storms of winter. Its wonderful facilities for self-ventilation can be better understood when it is related that Abraham, one day, in the absence of his father, while standing inside the cabin, shot, with a ri e through one of the cracks, the leader of a ock of wild turkeys that had ventured too near. This exploit took place when he was eight years of age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Words of Abraham Lincoln One who appreciates the Gettysburg address and the two inaugurals is not content unless he can go further. There is much in Lincoln's writings of the highest literary quality. There is much more that justifies the student of American history in continuing his study of Lincoln. In the prepara tion of this collection the editor has had in mind the chief value which it should possess for the reader. That value is to be found in the revelation which his writings give of the personality of one of the greatest public characters in all history. So those speeches and letters have been chosen which reveal the most of the man, Lincoln. With this in view, the notes are meant to explain the man and the occa sion, and with the letters give such information as will enable the reader to understand better why the letters were written and who Lincoln's correspondents were. The few obvious errors in grammatical or rhetorical form are not noted. The split infinitive is one of Lincoln's com monest failings, but the critical student can find better use for his time than in hunting for faults.

Collins in Hall Representatives, April 15, 1887 In his letter to Mr. Greeley he said: My paramount object is to save the Union and not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it. If I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. I intend no modification of my oft expressed personal wish that all men everywhere might be free. The victory of this principle in its supreme test, marks an epoch in history. As the ages recede, it will be more and more sharply de fined. And he who guided its progress and made it triumphant, will be the man of the epoch.

It is well that, in our busy and hurried lives, we should pause to recall the characters and deeds of the great men of our country who now rest from their labors; and it is peculiarly fitting that The Union League should assemble out of respect to the memory of this great man for, gentlemen, The Union League was organized in the early part of Mr. Lincoln's ad ministration, when the affairs of the country were in the most discouraging and disheartening condition, when it was a very grave question whether the Union would, or could be preserved. To uphold the Presi dent, to aid the Government, was the object of the founders of The Union League. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Speeches, Abraham Lincoln: With an Introduction by William H. Townsend But when he rose to speak, the audience was startled at the phenomenal change in his appearance. His height of six feet four inches was majestic; his clear, high-pitched voice distinctly reached the outskirts of the biggest crowd; the deep-set eyes now flashed and twinkled; the droll, captivaring smile which expanded his furrowed cheeks revealed a mouth full of white, regular teeth, and wreathed his whole countenance in animation. Sparing in the use of gestures, Lincoln stood squarely on his feet, With hands clasped behind his back, or one hand clutching the lapel of his coat and the other hanging easily at his side. But his gaunt, loosely-knit frame had great ver tical elasticity, and when deeply moved, he would stretch himself beyond his already enormous height, throw his long, sinewy arms high above his head, pause for an instant in this attitude, and then sweep his huge fists through the air with a crashing emphasis that no one ever forgot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln: Comprising His Speeches, Letters, State Papers and Miscellaneous Writings This added a vast amount of private material which had not come within the sphere of their official knowledge, and added the charming personal element to the works of the great statesman. When Colonel Lincoln requested them to compile his father's writings and freely transferred to them all his legal rights as his father's heir to protection by copyright, he at once made their collection the standard edition for all time, and rendered it impossible for any unauthorized publisher to successfully compete with them by issuing any edition which could have even the semblance of being complete. New Material The eleven years which have elapsed since the first edition of this work was issued have but served to augment the honor, esteem, and love in which the people of America have ever held the Great War President. Naturally this national attitude has resulted in bringing to light a large amount of manuscript material - much of great historical and biographical value - which inevitably escaped even such conscientious workers as Mr. Nieolay and Colonel Hay.
