One turns away from every volume, saying, I am not yet acquainted with that great man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "Why Lincoln Laughed (Unabridged)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. One who lived in Lincoln's time, and who has read the thousand books they say have been written about him in the half century since his death, may still be dissatisfied with every description of his personality and with every analysis of his character. He was human, and yet in some mysterious degree superhuman. Nothing in philosophy, magic, superstition, or religion furnishes a satisfactory explanation to the thoughtful devotee for the inspiration he gave out or for the transfiguring glow which at times seemed to illumine his homely frame and awkward gestures. Russell Conwell (1843-1925) was an American Baptist minister, orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Speaker Cannon said: Mr. Toastmaster, Mr. President: It is now 20 minutes of 11 o'clock. I am not going to apologize to this virile audience, young men all: and if there are any who have had their threescore and ten years I can not sit them out. So, if I talk thirty minutes, and talk too long, signify it. [Laughter.] It has been said that I had the honor of a personal acquaintance with Lincoln. Yes; and yet I can tell you but little that is new touching Abraham Lincoln. The survivors of the twenty-two hundred thousand men who in the hell of the four years great contest followed him through evil and through good report know of his magnificent leadership. It is not necessary that I should say anything to them about Lincoln personally. "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" was the question asked almost two thousand years ago; and they said, "Come and see." The Master came out of Nazareth. The world received Him: the world crucified Him upon the cruel cross. He had His followers. That great character, with His philosophy and His great, kind, human, and divine heart, felt that He could afford to wait, and yet how He would have gotten along without St. Paul, I do not know, nor can any man tell. St. Paul broke away from the Jews, broke away from their prejudices. His love for his Master made him carry the teachings of the Master not only to Jews, but to Gentiles, and in the most prosperous portions of the earth we have the theology, the philosophy, the teachings of the Master represented in our Christian civilization. He was of humble origin. Matthew traced back his ancestry to Abraham, but he was of humble origin, born in a manger. Abraham Lincoln, human, of humble but, honorable parentage, horn of forbears humble but honorable, who in Massachusetts, in New Jersey, in Pennsylvania, in Virginia, across the mountains to the "dark and bloody ground," contributed their mite amongst the other pioneers to the founding and the preservation of Commonwealths. In the humble cabin in which he was horn no man could have prophesied without derision as to how he should lead the American people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why President Lincoln Spared Three Lives Within the fortress whose defiant flag inspired the lines of Key's immortal national anthem three Confederate spies, awaiting execution in the closing year of the Civil War, were snatched from the gallows by a stroke of President Lincoln's pen. This act of Executive clemency was the sequence to an interesting incident during Mr. Lincoln's journey to Washington to assume the presidency in 1861, when the rampant spirit of secession prevailing in Maryland forbade all preparations for official welcome in that State. Thus it came that the President-elect and his family arranged for a short stop in Baltimore as the guests of a private citizen, John S. Gittings, banker and President of the Northern Central Railroad, by which line he was scheduled to reach that city. As is well known, information of an assassination plot induced Mr. Lincoln to leave his fellow-travelers at Harrisburg, secretly return to Philadelphia by special train, accompanied by a sole companion, Ward H. Lamon, and there board the regular midnight train for Washington, where he arrived unrecognized in the early morning of February 23. Adhering to the original program, the presidential party, including Mrs. Lincoln and her sons, Robert, Willie, and "Tad," went from Harrisburg to Baltimore, where their train was greeted by an immense crowd which rolled in about it like a vast tidal wave. Some of the more unruly element were bold enough to invade Mrs. Lincoln's private car until driven out by John Hay, who locked the door amidst an outburst of oaths and obscenity which swelled in intensity and volume when it became known that Mr. Lincoln was not with the party, but had stolen a march and was already in Washington.
