Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln and the Land of the Sangamon Doubtless no two persons agree entirely on what is most significant in revealing the character and ethics of Abraham Lincoln, though every observation of his life contributes to our knowledge of the man.

Springfield, one might say, was permeated with the spirit of Lincoln. The house where I went to school with other little Springfield girls was the house in which he had been married. The desk in a corridor of the chief hotel, upon which we did not hesitate to perch at class dances, had been Lincoln's. The house where Lincoln had lived, and where his children had been born, was Open to the public. One took country cousins to see its interior. The monu ment where he slept dominated the cemetery. The bristling groups of bronze soldiers at the four corners of the shaft were of endless interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln Miss Ann Rutledge New Salem Pioneering and the Poem written by William Henry Herndon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Miss. Ann Rutledge, New Salem, Pioneering and the Poem: A Lecture Delivered in the Old Sangamon Country Court House, November, 1866 William H. Herndon had curiously announced his lecture for the evening of November 16, 1866, as on Abraham Lincoln, Miss Ann Rutledge, New Salem, Pioneering, and the Poem Yet that strange title attracted only a meagre group of people to the Court House in Springfield, Illinois, to hear him interpret their friend and his late law partner, the Martyred President. He had lectured on Lincoln thrice before, and it's likely that some who heard all four lectures asked themselves in wonder what was Billy Herndon driving at? Actually this was a trial flight for the biography he purposed. Cer tainly none had opportunity to know Abraham Lin coln better, and since that sorrowful day when the body of their neighbor had lain in state in the Illi nois state house, Herndon had been visited by many an ambitious writer seeking to levy on his store of facts and memories. That had been a disillusioning experience. Already he could perceive the folk spirit of a people busy making its herointo a demi god. He could not recognize the Lincoln whom he knew in what resulted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1 Yet, however desirable an object the con struction of a railroad through our country may be; however high our imaginations may be heated at thoughts of it - there is always a heart appalling shock accompanying the amount Of its cost, which forces us to shrink from our pleasing anticipations. The probable cost of this contemplated railroad is estimated at $290, 000; the bare statement of which, in my opin ion, is sufiicient to justify the belief that the improvement of the Sangamon River is an Oh ject much better suited to our infant resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's in Town He served for the duration of the war, and was mustered out on July 10, 1832, at White Water, on the Rock river in Wisconsin. With a friend he made his way back to Sangamon county on foot and by canoe, for his horse had been lost in service. These are the brief facts of Lincoln's only service in the armed forces of the United States, except when he commanded the armies and navy of the United States in the Civil war. He looked deep into the heart of the American volunteer in those three brief months of service from April to July 1832. He learned their thoughts, learned their habits, learned to command them, learned to work and march and fight with them, these men who have always been the backbone of American armed forces. The knowledge was priceless when it came to commanding hundreds of thousands of the sons and grandsons of these same types of volunteers in the Civil war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Land: And Other Recent Verses In the mid land was born a real man, Who out of penury and plainest toil Grew on to his great manhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oft-Told Tales of Lincoln More than three thousand volumes have been written about the life and work of Abraham Lincoln. He has taken, in our modern world, the place of the heroes of ancient epics and legends: he is our Beowulf, our Charlemagne, our King Arthur; in a word, he is our national hero. So much has been written that the folly of attempting a new, or even an original interpretation of the old, is evident. We make no such pretense, but instead gratefully acknowledge indebtedness to many sources from which we have taken those authentic episodes in the childhood and youth of Abra ham Lincoln, which foreshadowed his con duct during the dark days of the Civil War. We have tried to trace, in the boy Lincoln, those latent characteristics whio h whendeveloped gave us the greatest leader and man our country has known.

This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 1196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Honor Book, Sangamon County, Illinois, 1917-1919 Illinois sent soldiers into the Federal service during the Great War. From the summoning of the National Guard to Camp Lowden in Springfield, until the discharge of the Marines in August, 1919, it was my privilege as Governor of Illinois to see the flower of the State in training camp, marching with fearless eye to the transports, and returning from overseas. Among these were the men from Sanga mon County, of which my own son was one. There was never any doubt in my mind of the record these men would make. They had a proud heritage to inspire them in their European service. Going from the State that produced Lincoln and those matchless soldiers, Grant and Logan, we could not expect them to do other than bring back our banners unsullied. We followed our soldiers in all the arduous months in which they were away from us. We fol lowed them with love and pride. We are familiar with the great battles in which they were engaged. We 'know something of Hamel; we know how Illinois men were among the first there to make all the world know what the American soldier was and what he could do. We know something of the Mort Homme sector; we remember the Bois de Forges. We recall the trying days in the Argonne and those of St. H/iihiel. Those names will be treasured forever in the history of Illinois and the history of the United States. We have not forgotten the comrades who will come back no more. The memories of those brave men who fell upon the greatest battlefields of history will be tenderly cherished in the heart of Illinois and in the heart of our common country. For the living, our gratitude, our love; for those silent comrades, our gratitude, our pride, our tears. Those who spent months in camps in the United States and had none of the excitement and dangers of battle, but who nevertheless served their country to the best of their ability, also are entitled to our praise and gratitude. Home is Illinois, America, - the best country in the world. It has always been worth fighting for. The men now sleeping on foreign battlefields have proven that it is worth dying for.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Was Here, for Another Go at Douglas So the rumble of oratory that echoed over the prairies of Illinois in the late summer of 1858 presaged the coming of the storm of sorrow and sadness, of broken homes, of a nation torn by internal strife and filled only with agony and with anguish. But as a just and merciful God sends the calm after the storm, to heal the wounds it has left so the storm over the prairies came to an end in the chill days of the fall of '58 and so the same merciful and forebearing Providence spared the nation from destruction so that mankind could again pick up its burden of free government not only in our own land but in all others for all time to come.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln and New Salem The edition of the little pamphlet explanatory of the Objects and purposes of this League, termed by it a Prospectus of The Old Salem Lincoln League for the Restoration of New Salem, the Early Home of Abraham Lincoln, has been exhausted and it has become necessary to supply something in its place. We as sumed that the people generally' knew that New Salem was Lin; coln's Alma Mater, that he came to New Salem a friendless, over grown boy, uncouth and uneducated, with a knowledge of only the barest rudiments of reading, writing and arithmetic; that during the six-years of his residence here, his character was formed; his education completed, his name of honest Abe ac quired; the pathway his feet were to tread during his future life blazed, and his great heart broken by the loss of his first love, the one great romance and tragedy of his life. We find, however, that many of our people have been so en grossed with other matters, more personal to them, that they have failed to acquaint themselves with this phase of Lincoln's life.
