Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Traits of Abraham Lincoln When my father began collecting material to be used in his joint work with John Hay, "Abraham Lincoln: A History," he put certain things into an envelope marked "Personal Traits," meaning to make a chapter with that heading. As the work grew the items gathered under that head overflowed from one envelope into many; and at the same time it became manifest that a chapter with such a title would be out of place. Incidents illustrating Mr. Lincoln's personal traits found their rightful place elsewhere; and the authors argued that if the work as a whole did not reflect his character, it was labor lost.

Download or read book Personal Traits of Abraham Lincoln written by Helen Nicolay and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate look at the personal character and personality traits of one of America's most respected men. Included are Lincoln's attitude and actions regarding handling of money, work, those in authority, forgiveness, opponents, discipline of colleagues, wife and children, and humility in the use of great public power. The observer and commentator is really the author's father, who over a five-year period, worked hand-in-glove with not only the president, but also the Lincoln family, and who was able to observe Lincoln in nearly all circumstances, social and political. This is a work of "extraordinary insight" into a great man.

Download or read book The Life of Abraham Lincoln Classic Reprint written by Isaac N. Arnold and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln There is no doubt that for some time prior to the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Arnold had contemplated writing his life. Previous to that event, and while yet a member of Congress, he had commenced to write the History of Abraham Lincoln and the Overthrow of Slavery, which he completed and published in 1867. He brought to the preparation of that work the qualities of an able and conscientious historian, who wrote very largely from personal knowledge and personal observation. It is a book of real interest and exceptional historic value. Important and valuable facts are to be obtained therein which are not to be found elsewhere. This work was never entirely satisfactory to Mr. Arnold, so far as it related to Mr. Lincoln, and hence some two years since he determined to write in a stricter sense the life of Mr. Lincoln, in the light of additional material he had gathered, and disconnected with the history of the overthrow of slavery, except in so far as the subject was connected generally with the administration of Mr. Lincoln.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences About Abraham Lincoln In the dawn of the 20th century, looking backward through the vista of time, I recall my first knowledge of Lincoln. Early in the forties, my father, then a resident of the state of Indiana, had correspondence with him pertaining to business of the anti - slavery cause, in which my father was a zealous worker; and previous to this Lincoln had declare-d his opposition to slavery and its extension, basing his opinion on facts experienced in the South where he had been reared. Thus I came to know something of his individual character and sterling qualities of mind and heart prior to meeting him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Character and Greatness of Abraham Lincoln: A Discourse, Delivered April 23, 1865 Two thoughts oppress and embarass me on this occasion; the greatness of my subject, and the needlessness of my task. I cannot say anything to increase the lustre of his fame, or that will enshrine him more sacredly in your affections. "Then why attempt a eulogy on the life and character of Abraham Lincoln?" To satisfy our own grief and gratitude, and to pay a just tribute to manly, noble worth. As a motto for this address, I have chosen the anguish-riven cry of Israel when they heard the chief whose prudence, fortitude and valor had crushed their foes and saved their country, lay in his own triumph and blood: "All the people of Israel greatly bewailed him. They wept many days, and said, why is that great man dead who saved the people of Israel?" The first question we propose for calm discussion is - Is the name of Abraham Lincoln worthy of being enrolled upon the catalogue of great men? We affirm it is, and might argue that. The position he occupied entitles him to this honor. You need not remind us "that merit, not position makes a man great." We know it, and reply, no man without merit could, under the circumstances, rise to that position. Let the man who denies this solve for us this problem: "A bog raised in a floorless log cabin of the West till he was twenty-one years old, working his way to eminence in the legal profession, to honor in Congressional halls, and finally elected President of the United States; elected a second time to that position of honor, and dying at the comparative early age of fifty-six." Could any but a great man rise so high - great in the highest, noblest sense of that word? 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 Boston Corbett: With Personal Recollections of Each A recent imperfect brochure Of mine relating to Boston Corbett, who shot John Wilkes Booth, the assassinator Of President Lincoln, has brought requests for more Of the his tory Of this unique character. Its study forces us to link it with the death Of Lincoln, the end Of Booth and the capture Of Jefferson Davis, the inspiring angel Of Booth on his last mission. The recording Of real personal recollections assists in making genuine history, and furnishes a flavor delightful to the public taste. I will present some personal items about Lincoln and Corbett, and testimony from Official records - that we may see the characteristics of the two men, and then by an analysis Of other facts get a correct view Of the tragic end Of Booth, and Of his incentives to his mad career. We will examine the exciting and singular Kansas life Of Corbett. Bringing the truth out Of the many versions relating to the capture Of Jefferson Davis, we shall find that the ridiculous stories, published by the northern press, Of his fleeing in his wife's dress and crinoline, emanated in the fer tile brain Of the General commanding the raid into Alabama and Georgia, and had no foundation in fact. We can afford to bear honest testimony even at this late date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lincoln Museum: A Memorial to the Human Qualities of Abraham Lincoln An intimate picture of the personal life of Mr. Lincoln is presented by the Lincoln Museum in Washington, D. C. It was established by Congress for the benefit and inspira tion of the American people and has two close associations with the life of the martyred leader. First, there is the museum building. Formerly the Ford Theater, it was here that John Wilkes Booth played the role of assassin in the greatest tragedy of American history. The second close association with the life of President Lin coln lies in the relics contained in the museum. Compris ing the famous Oldroyd Collection, these exhibits recall intimate episodes in the secular and political career of Lin coln the man. They represent the life work of Osborn H. Oldroyd, who for more than sixty years was a collector of Lincoln relics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln: An Address I do not purpose in my remarks today to proceed into any extended relation of the justly celebrated political debate between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas in 1858, or concerning Mr. Lincoln's administration of the Federal Government from 1861 to 1865, because both are known to every intelligent and well informed person in our whole country, and more especially, as the great debate and the transactions of the period of the civil war is an open book, with the contents of which you all are familiar. I purpose to relate facts bearing upon his early days and incidents of his life, which are personally known to me; incidents which may seem small in themselves, but yet serve to show and illustrate the habits, traits of disposition and character, the heart and head, the humor and melancholy, in a word, the peculiar and varied moods in all affairs, great or small, private or public, of this pure, kind, gentle, decided, and steadfast man. He was sensitive and conscientious at all times and in every relation of life, and never in youth or man hood did he knowingly do wrong to any one. More than forty years have passed since his tragic death; seventy years are past and gone since he bade farewell to New Salem and the friends of his early manhood and settled in Springfield to commence the practice of law with John T. Stuart, his colleague in the Illinois Legislature of 1836. Probably there is not a man or woman living today who was of adultage when Mr. Lincoln left Salem. Before many years have come and gone the last person who has taken Mr. Lincoln by the hand and looked into that kind, familiar face will have passed from earth. So it is well that those who knew him should gather up facts, great and small, honestly related without prejudice or partiality. Let us, in narrating events and the story of his life, cling close to truth and the man, then those who come after us will know the real man - the true Lincoln. Let me repeat, if the story of his life is truthfully and courageously told - nothing colored or suppressed; nothing false either written or suggested - the coming generation will see and feel the presence of the living man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Mr. President and Gentlemen - As I am informed, the Cherry Tree Club meets once each year to commemorate the birthday of the Father of his Country. Your club is composed almost entirely of'young men, most of whom were born since the close of the Civil War, and few, if any, of you were old enough at that time to have any personal recollection of the events that marked the most tragic period in the history of the Republic. I am asked to portray the character of the man who was not only the central figure in that Titanic struggle, but whose memory is, and will ever be, enshrined in the hearts of all' liberty-loving people throughout the habitable globe. May I not hope that you will bear with me if I shall attempt more than a brief pass ing tribute to the character of this remarkable man. May I not be indulged in an endeavor to quicken in your minds the meaning of that great epoch in our history, while bring ing to your attention some of the conspicuous characteristics of the man about whom I am to speak, and some of the events connected with which he will always be the one prominent personality. In devotion to his country; in breadth of statesman ship; in exalted character; in blameless private life, the name of Abraham Lincoln will grow brighter with the ages - the synonym of true greatness - the harbinger of that period to which we all look, of peace on earth, good will to man. In his early days he struck his roots deep down into the common soil of the earth, and in his latest years his head towered and shone among the stars!
