Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Lincoln As the close of day was fast approaching, the weird appearance of the atmosphere was still more wonderful, and as owl light set in we safely arrived in Springfield. Next day at a timely hour, armed with letters of introduction given us by Governor Chase, Hon. Thomas Ewing, and others, we presented ourselves at Lincoln's office, then located in the State Capitol of Illinois. Although surrounded by a few political friends he received us kindly, and it was rather flattering to our vanity, however, for he seemed to know us by intuition. As he was a prompt man, he lost no time in proceeding to business, and inquired how I made my busts. I gave him a brief description of my process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intimate Memories of Lincoln The recollections of Richard Price Morgan, one of Mr. Lincoln's oldest friends, supply a graphic account of the Decatur convention of May 9, 1860, and the unexpected birth of the rail splitter legend. Isaac Hill Bromley recalls the impression the convention that nomi nated Mr. Lincoln made on one of the most brilliant and keen minded editors of his period, and Leonard Swett, a Lincoln manager, writes a friend in frank and lively fashion of what went on behind the scenes in that historic gathering. Ellis H. Roberts, Frank Fuller, Charles A. Barry and Alban Jasper Conant recall visits to Springfield in the summer of 1860, and Samuel R. Weed, a St. Louis reporter, writes of the most memorable election day and night in that city's history. Joseph Gillespie, a long-time friend of Mr. Lincoln who refused to accept office from him, describes a visit with him during his last aux ious days in Illinois, and, Andrew Provost reveals how a President elect did his own thinking on his way to Washington.

Recollections of Charles Francis Adams, Jr., Charles Aldrich, Robert Rantoul, Jr., General James Grant Wilson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, George W. Jul ian, Levi S. Gould, and others give life and color to the first months of the Lincoln administration. John P. Usher, Mr. Lincoln's second Secretary of the Interior, measures in old age his chief's quiet and easy dominance of self-willed and masterful men, and his secretaries, John G. Nicolay and John Hay, write with delightful yet reverent intimacy of life in the White House when the fate of the nation was trembling in the balance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of President Lincoln: And Other Lyrics of the War Whitman did not subject Lincoln to the lit crary but to the human motive. Lincoln does not become a literary figure by his touch. Does not become a man in a book. After Whitman is done with him Lincoln still remains Lincoln. No way reduced. No way aggrandized. Only better understood. His background does not become a book. His background remains what it was. Remains life. Generic life. As life is where life finds life at the root. I may let Whitman put in'a word for himself. Whitman said to me of Lincoln. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections and Impressions of Abraham Lincoln Someone has said, That nation is death-stricken that ceases to reverence the memory of her great men. And so we in America are raising memorials to our Washingtons, our Lincolns, our Grants, our Roosevelts, and are commemorating their birth days. The British are doing the same for their great heroes. There is a good deal in common between our British cousins and ourselves. John Wesley was a Britisher but there are millions in our land to-day who also claim him as theirs. No man could possibly be more of an American than was Abraham Lincoln, but to-day he belongs to the world.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln written by Robert Brewster Stanton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Personal Memories of the Man When the dark days of '61 came my father recognized that perhaps God, in his inscrutable knowledge, knew a better way, and he became a war parson and was one of the foremost in his calling to hold up the hands of the war President, and, unlike some other abolitionists of that day, he stayed by him to the end. It has always been my belief that the reason why Abraham Lincoln and my father became such Warm friends was be cause he brought to the President a cer tain inside knowledge of the South and its people, from an earnest and loyal fol lower, and Mr. Lincoln welcomed such direct information when they discussed together the perplexing problems of those days, as they so often did. Thus it came about that I, even so young, going with my father, came to know Mr. Lincoln personally, and was able to sit with him for hours at a time, in his private office at the White House, and listen to those talks and discussions and observe him at close range, and study his every word and action at times when there was nothing to disturb, and when only one or two others were in the room.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetical Tributes to the Memory of Abraham Lincoln IN the preparation of this volume it has been the purpose of the publishers to preserve, in perma nent form, the spontaneous tributes of esteem and affection tendered to the memory of our late beloved President by the poetical writers of our own and other countries. It seems especially fitting that the tender regard which Mr. Lincoln had won for himself during the four eventful years of his Presi dency, and which has found so many and such heartfelt expressions since his untimely death, should have a lasting record; and both for the gratification of those who have mingled their tears over the remains of the illustrious dead, and as an evidence to future generations of how wise and great and good we thought him, this volume is now put forth.

I was standing where I could see each one who came upon the platform, and I recognized among the number many of the nation's most distinguished citizens. While the multitude was gathering upon the platform and on the grounds, many famous bands contributed patriotic music, but the rain prevented the free and effective use of the fife and drum, at that time so essential to the fitting inspiration of such an assembly; and the sense of that lack lingered in the memory as an undefined yet real defect.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Memoirs: From the Log Cabin to the White House A new century has come, since Lincoln gave up his life for his country. All the conditions with which he was familiar have changed. America has become a world power, with all the responsibilities that the term implies. All things have become new. The bitter animosities, extreme partisanship and sectional hatred that was so long a part of public life, have given way to the resist less spirit of progress. Those who were once bitter foes, meet to day in the world of business as friends. Nor is the love of gain the only incentive to this new relation ship.

This issue, limited in the number of copies, is intended only for those of you who care to send for it; for most of you will, undoubtedly, prefer the next edition which will contain more of your in dividual contributions. These personal pages are of such nature that we shall love to read them not only to recall the pictures of school-life with their lights and shades, but also to bring more vividly to mind, that dear one whom words in all their varied combinations are inadequate to describe. Whether Mills Girls or dear friends, should we not endeavor to do for her memory all in our power, not only for ourselves, but for your children and your children's children?
