Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Own Stories For many years the editor has collected and studied the literature relating to Abraham Lincoln, and his interest has led to the preparation of a book which he has endeavored to make both authentic and significant. His purpose has been to select stories which embody truth and point, and to arrange them, as far as possible, consecutively, so that they may furnish continuous illustrations of the various stages of Lincoln's wonderful career. Various dubious and often maudlin tales which have been attributed to Lincoln have been omitted. While it would be impossible to claim that any collection is absolutely comprehensive, yet it is believed that the best and the essential Lincoln stories are assembled here in a manner which will serve as an outline biography in story form. In connection with this plan the bare facts of Lincoln's life may be restated helpfully. 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 and His Books As to the list of books which Lincoln read while still a lad in Indiana, the statement which he made to Leonard Swett is probably no great exaggeration, that he borrowed and read every book he could learn about within a circuit of fifty miles.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln Classic Reprint written by Ellis Paxson Oberholtzer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln My own antecedents are all Northern and my sympathies, had I lived in that time, would have been with the North as against negro slavery, and the strict constructionist and state-rights View of the Constitution. These facts, however, cannot prevent me from appreciating honesty of motive, sincerity of purpose, political talent and sagacity, military valor, and patience under great suffering after the war, on the part of the Southern people. Much of what they did, when the final estimate is given, must make us feel very proud that we are Sprung from a common stock, that our destiny was the same before the great difference arose, and that it is to be one henceforward. They are a part of us, and we are a part of them, together ennobled, very likely, by the trial, as Lincoln was by sore distress, for the tasks to be performed side by side in this century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's First Love: A True Story Two miles south of Petersburg, in the state of Illinois, are the hills of New Salem, picturesque and beautiful; yet with all their picturesqueness and beauty, they would probably never have gained more than local fame had not Abraham Lincoln there spent his early life and met his first love. Just west of the Sangamon River is the hill on which the little town of New Salem was built. It is very steep and rugged until you reach the summit, where it is comparatively level. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Lincoln Herring Chrisman, as his memoirs herein reveal, knew the late President personally as his friend and kinsman while both were residents of Illinois. That Mr. Lincoln not only appreciated the fact of their friendship but readily acknowledged their kinship is of first importance to the genealogist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln, Emancipator of the Nation: A Narrative History of Lincoln's Boyhood and Manhood Based on His Own Writings, Original Research, Official Documents, and Other Authoritative Information It is a strange fact - and one that is often forgotten or slurred - that Lincoln, in whom all the hopes of the North were centered during the Civil War, was a Southerner both by birth and inheritance. Indeed he was, in a way, a born and bred Virginian, for his native state - Kentucky - was owned by Virginia up to within a few years of his birth and the bulk of its population was recruited from the Old Dominion.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln written by Roy Edgar Appleman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: From His Own Words and Contemporary Accounts Lincoln, in the year before his death, told a friend that he had never read an entire novel in his life. This same man could carry a volume of Euclid in his pocket for months as his constant companion. He was ever concerned with and engrossed in realities; yet his instinct of interpreting human nature in terms of fable was as rich as Aesop's. His language matched the anglo-saxon of Shake speare and the beauty and simplicity of the Old Testament. He was a patient, canny politician. He was self-reliant. The resources within himself were large and ample. He listened with courteous patience to the thoughts of others, but in the end the independence of his own judgment resolved the decision. Any search for the fountains of Lincoln's greatness must deal with his astonish ing power over words. His mental processes worked with fine precision in te solving the shadowy substance of thought into durable expression. No one with discernment can sit down and read through Lincoln's collected works, speech by speech, letter by letter, document by document, without knowing that here was a man who had mastered the language of his race.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln written by John G. Nicolay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 1002 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: A History It is not, therefore, with any thought of materially adding to his already accomplished renown that we have written the work which we now offer to our fellow-citizens. But each age owes to its successors the truth in regard to its own annals. The young men who have been born since Sumter was fired on have a right to all their elders know of the important events they came too late to share in. The life and the fame of Lincoln will not have their legitimate effect of instruction and example unless the Circumstances among which he lived and found his opportunities are placed in their true light before the men who never saw him. To write the life of this great American in such a way as to show his relations to the times in which he moved, thbe stupendous Issues he controlled, the remarkable men by whom he was surrounded, has been the purpose which the authors have diligently pursued for many years. We can say nothing of the result of our labor; only those who have been similarly employed can appreciate the sense of inadequate performance with which we regard what we have accomplished. We can only Claim for our work that we have devoted to it sixteen years of almost unremitting assiduity that we have neglected no means in our power to ascertain the truth that we have rejected no authentic facts essential to a candid story that we have had no theory to establish, no personal grudge to gratify, no unavowed objects to subserve. We have aimed to write a sufficiently full and absolutely honest history of a great man and a great time; and although we take it for granted that we have made mistakes, that we have fallen into such errors and inaccuracies as are unavoidable in so large a work, we promise there shall not be found a line in all these chapters dictated by malice or unfairness. Our desire to have this work placed under the eyes of the greatest possible number of readers induced us to accept the generous offer of the century magazine to print it first in these pages. In this way it will receive the intelligent criticism of a million people, con temporaries of the events narrated, and we expect to profit by the suggestions and corrections which such a method of publication invites. Moreover, as we have endeavored to write this history with a purpose of absolute fairness to every party and every section of the country, we ardently desire that, by its wide dissemination, it may contribute to the growth and maintenance throughout all our borders of that spirit of freedom and nationality for which Abraham Lincoln lived and died.

Without stopping to think, he ran home and hurried through the house, calling for mamma. When he found her, he threw both arms around her, crying, Oh, mamma, I do love you, and I am SO sorry! Of course mamma was puzzled, and could only say, Tell me all about it. So John told her, and then mamma said, as she kissed him, Well, clear, you are like him in One way: You have told the truth about it of your own accord. John felt comforted a little, but it was a long time before he could forget how he had diso beyed his mother.
