The view from this hill is one of the most beautiful in Illinois. 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 Doubt not, all you true gentlemen, that it is time for an American Book of Days. This laud we love is old enough and rich enough in men and achievements to have a rubricated record all its own. The dates which punctuate its great events, its births and burials, its successive and interwoven crises of national evolution, its high tides and low, its "storms and tempests greater than almanacs can report," its feasts and fasts, its anguish and its anthems - these dates make a calendar with all its weeks illuminated and emphatic. More than we often pause to remember are we rich in history, not merely of a continental, but of a world-wide significance. Our life is of inter-centurial and planetary import. Each month is a volume, with its peculiar, illustrious and garlanded events. Wonder at all that our American Aprils have witnessed, recall the annals of our great Julys, and then, yon who love your country and treasure in your hearts her excellences of character and action, with also her sins, her repentances, her renewed probations, turn your thoughts to February, least in length of the twelve, but with two natal days, starset and resplendent, and own that the month with such a 22d and such a 12th, is the chief and brightest in all the round of the zodiac!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Love Story Lincoln's love story his home for four years. The last twenty miles of the journey, from the town of Springfield, he made on a hired horse. The landscape through which he rode that April morning still holds its enchant ment; the swift, bright river still winds in and out among the wooded hills, for the best farming lands lie back of the gravelly bluffs, on the black loam prairie. But three-quarters of a century ago central Illinois was an almost primeval world. Settlements were few and far apart. No locomotive awoke the echoes among the verdant ridges, no smoke darkened the silver ribbon of the river, no coal-mine gashed the green hillside. Here and there a wreath of blue marked the hearth-fire of a forest home, or beyond a gap in the bluff a log-cabin stood amid the warm brown furrows of a clearing.

As mountains seem less glorious, viewed too nigh, So often do the great whom we decry Gigantic loom to our astonished gaze, When they are dead.

Download or read book The Essential Lincoln written by Abraham Lincoln and published by Franklin Watts. This book was released on 1971 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eloquent, humble, and shrewd, Abraham Lincoln was one of America's greatest presidents, and The Essential Lincoln brings together his most defining speeches, public and private correspondence, and personal notations in one slim, handsome volume. Lincoln historian Orville Vernon Burton has culled the thousands of pages of the complete works of Lincoln for the most compelling and revealing pieces. Many are presented unabridged, including Lincoln's speech at Cooper Union in February 1860; his August 1862 letter to Horace Greeley; the Gettysburg Address; and his second inaugural address. Others have been skillfully edited down to reveal the essence of Lincoln's beliefs and aspirations, including two of his decisive debates with Stephen A. Douglas, the Emancipation Proclamation, and his first inaugural address. From his earliest writings as a loquacious twenty-three-year-old in New Salem to his last public address from the White House balcony, these original documents give life to Lincoln's deeply rooted beliefs: his unflagging dedication to a united America, his reverence for the rule of law, his feelings on slavery and each human being's inalienable natural rights, his boundless commitment to mankind's innate intelligence and morality. What emerges is a portrait of a stunning American and a compelling historical icon, one who represents the highest ideals we have for our country and for ourselves. This collection is quite simply The Essential Lincoln.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Lincoln Laughed Abraham Lincoln wrote to his law partner, William Henry Herndon, that "the physical side of Niagara Falls is really a very small part of that world's wonder. Its power to excite reflection and emotion is its great charm." That statement might fittingly be applied to Lincoln himself. One who lived in his 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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Lincoln Revisited written by Harold Holzer and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2009, America celebrates the bicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, and the pace of new Lincoln books and articles has already quickened. From his cabinet’s politics to his own struggles with depression, Lincoln remains the most written-about story in our history. And each year historians find something new and important to say about the greatest of our Presidents. Lincoln Revisited is a masterly guidePub to what’s new and what’s noteworthy in this unfolding story—a brilliant gathering of fresh scholarship by the leading Lincoln historians of our time. Brought together by The Lincoln Forum, they tackle uncharted territory and emerging questions; they also take a new look at established debates—including those about their own landmark works. Here, these well-known historians revisit key chapters in Lincoln’s legacy—from Matthew Pinsker on Lincoln’s private life and Jean Baker on religion and the Lincoln marriage to Geoffrey Perret on Lincoln as leader and Frank J. Williams on Lincoln and civil liberties in wartime. The eighteen original essays explore every corner of Lincoln’s world—religion and politics, slavery and sovereignty, presidential leadership and the rule of law, the Second Inaugural Address and the assassination. In his 1947 classic, Lincoln Reconsidered, David Herbert Donald confronted the Lincoln myth. Today, the scholars in Lincoln Revisited give a new generation of students, scholars, and citizens the perspectives vital for understanding the constantly reinterpreted genius of Abraham Lincoln.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln Lincoln and Wilson Woodrow Wilson Classic Reprint written by Stephen S. Wise and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln; Lincoln and Wilson; Woodrow Wilson The man who is great must love the truth. He must be fearless, he must me selfless, and his must be the gift of vision. Lincoln was a lover of truth, as witnessed by the utter sincerity and the sometimes irritatingly rugged honesty of his being. He knew not fear, and his fearlessness rose out of the high quali ties of confidence in that march of events whose in strument he was, and in such incapacity as 15 the hallmark of greatness for assessing the consequences to his own person of failure. He was a selfless man. Who can ever think of Lincoln as guiding himself in his words and acts by reference to his own gain and advantage? How many men who might else be great are minished by this test of their own lamentable inability to lift themselves up to the level of self less being and striving and serving! The man who is great must have vision. He must not only see the thing that is on all sides, but he must foresee the thing that is not and yet is bound to be. Vision means prejudgment, - the power to know what will be because of that moral foresight that helps a man to determine what ought to be. Such vision, wide, clear-eyed, prophetic, was Lincoln's.
