Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy's Life of Abraham Lincoln The story of this wonderful man begins and ends with a tragedy, for his grandfather, also named Abraham, was killed by a shot from an Indian's ri e while peaceably at work with his three sons on the edge of their frontier clearing. Eighty-one years later the President himself met death by an assassin's bullet. The mur derer of one was a savage of the forest; the murderer of the other that far more cruel thing, a savage of civilization. When the Indian's shot laid the pioneer farmer low, his second son, Josiah, ran to a neighboring fort for help, and Mordecai, the eldest, hurried to the cabin for his ri e. Thomas, a child of six years, was left alone be side the dead body of his father; and as Mor decai snatched the gun from its resting-place over the door Of the cabin, he saw, to his hor ror, an Indian in his war - paint, just stooping to seize the child. Taking quick aim at a medal on the breast Of the savage, he fired, and the Indian fell dead. The little boy, thus released, ran to the house, where Mordecai, firing through the loopholes, kept the Indians at bay until help arrived from the fort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of the Heart of Kentucky: A Rhymed Story of the Life of Abraham Lincoln The Great Ruler of the Universe places greatness at times in strange surroundings, but no one would ever have thought to look for it in the wilderness of the Heart of Kentucky nearly six score and eight years ago. If the sun broke through the clouds on the twelfth day of February 1809 it lighted and brightened a little log cabin on a meandering creek in Hardin County (now Larue), Kentucky in which Abraham Lincoln was ushered into this world. I doubt if the birth of anyone now living and born in the United States was attended with tragedy and sorrow greater than his. Poverty and obscurity were his companions in the long struggle upward to fame. Out of the valley of oblivion he rose, however, like a great majestic mountain, tipped with white, to the achievement of human success and service to his fellow men. Only once in five hundred years does his kind pass along the highroad of history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Ford s Theatre and the House Where Lincoln Died Classic Reprint written by Stanley W. McClure and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ford's Theatre and the House Where Lincoln Died Of the great actor Edwin Booth. Early the next morning the President died in the Petersen House, directly across the Street from the theatre. When President Lincoln entered the theatre box that fateful night, prospects for the Nation's future appeared bright. The War Between the States was virtually at an end. In the Confederate States the people were returning to the weary task Of reconstruction, and many North erners were willing to forget the past in the solemn rejoicing Of victory. Both in the North and in the South the personality Of Lincoln was seen as the guiding hand in' binding up the Nation's wounds. The trials and agonies Of the tragic era which followed the conflict might have been spared the South had the Nation heeded the sublime spirit embodied in the words Of the Second Inaugural Address which spoke Of a peace with malice toward none, with charity for all. With the smoke Of the assassin's pistol, the mounting hopes Of an early recon ciliation vanished. The mild peace advocated by President Lincoln gave way to the outcry Of the Northern radicals for vengeance. In his death, as in his life, Abraham Lincoln has entered deeply into the folklore and history Of our country. He has become an eternal sym bol, to us and to the world, Of the heights to which a common man can aspire under a democratic way Of life. The Lincoln Museum portrays his homely greatness and the tragedy Of his death. At no place can the work of Lincoln as a national leader and as President be more appropriately commemorated than at the site where this work was brought to an abrupt conclusion. The Petersen House, restored as of that period, carries one to the days Of the Civil War and to one Of that war's saddest nights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and Boston Corbett: With Personal Recollections of Each A recent imperfect brochure Of mine relating to Boston Corbett, who shot John Wilkes Booth, the assassinator Of President Lincoln, has brought requests for more Of the his tory Of this unique character. Its study forces us to link it with the death Of Lincoln, the end Of Booth and the capture Of Jefferson Davis, the inspiring angel Of Booth on his last mission. The recording Of real personal recollections assists in making genuine history, and furnishes a flavor delightful to the public taste. I will present some personal items about Lincoln and Corbett, and testimony from Official records - that we may see the characteristics of the two men, and then by an analysis Of other facts get a correct view Of the tragic end Of Booth, and Of his incentives to his mad career. We will examine the exciting and singular Kansas life Of Corbett. Bringing the truth out Of the many versions relating to the capture Of Jefferson Davis, we shall find that the ridiculous stories, published by the northern press, Of his fleeing in his wife's dress and crinoline, emanated in the fer tile brain Of the General commanding the raid into Alabama and Georgia, and had no foundation in fact. We can afford to bear honest testimony even at this late date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
