Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1: A History It is not, therefore, with any thought of adding mate rially to his already accomplished renown that we have written the work which we now ofier 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1 Something more than a decade has elapsed since the preceding words were written, and dur ing that period the assiduity of a multitude of Lincoln collectors has brought to light a large amount of manuscript material which inevitably escaped even such conscientious workers as Nic olay and Hay.

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 Abraham Lincoln: A History The returning warriors dropped down the river to the village of Havana - from Pekin to Havana in a canoe! The country is full of these geographical nightmares, the necessary result of freedom of nomenclature bestowed by circumstances upon minds equally destitute of taste or education. There they sold their boat, no difficult task, for a canoe was a staple article in any river-town, and again set out the old way, over the sand - ridges, for Petersburg. As we drew near home, the impulse became stronger and urged us on amazingly. The long strides of Lincoln, often slipping back in the loose sand six inches every step, were just right for me 3 and he was greatly diverted when he noticed me behind him stepping along in his tracks to keep from slipping. Thus the two comrades came back from their soldierings to their humble homes, from which Lincoln was soon to start on the way marked out for him by Providence, with strides which no com rade, with whatever good-will, might hope to follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln No man has expressed the feelings of America so well as President Lincoln, and no man in this or any other land has been more truly great. He was the child of poor parents. He was born in a log cabin. He went to school but little, because he lived where there were no schools. When a boy and young man he worked hard with his hands and it gave him a healthy body. He studied a few good books and it gave him a clear head. He liked history. He mastered mathematics and did surveying. He was interested in politics, and his mind' grasped the laws easily. He read about the principles of government, and thought about the rights of men. He became a lawyer. He was elected to the Legislature of Illinois, and then to the Congress of the United States. The experiences thus gained helped to make him a suc cessful lawyer._ He was much interested in the affairs of the people, in universal justice, and in the good of his country. He thought for himself, and he thought hard and straight. He had a keen sense of humor and a fine gift of wit. He wrote so plainly, and he spoke in public so clearly, that all the people could under stand him. But he had even greater qualities. His habits were simple and he lived without great show. He was true and sin cere, and the people believed in him. All these things made him a leader, a statesman, and a very great man. The country was deeply agitated about slavery. It had existed in all of the states in earlier years, and it then existed in all of the Southern States, where there were five millions of slaves. He abhorred human bondage, but he abhorred war also. The laws allowed slavery in the South, and he thought it impossible to change the laws and abolish slavery without bringing on a war between the Northern and the isouthern States. He hoped for an easier and better way. But many tried to carry slavery into the new states and territories that were being 'formed beyond the Mississippi river. He was Opposed to that, whether war came or not. He spoke hundreds of times against it, and what he said made him President of the United States. This brought on a dreadful war, which lasted four years. Great armies of citizens were organized to save the Union. Half a million of the best men in the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of Lincoln Nearly three hundred years ago a Dutch ship sailed up the river to Jamestown bearing a strange cargo. The cargo was twenty negroes, and the were sold as slaves to the colonists. This was the way in which negro slavery began in this country. The buying and selling of men and making them serve their masters without pay went on for many years. As the United States grew larger this traffic in men grew until at last people began to be afraid slavery would spread over all the country. At first only a few people thought slavery was wrong. These talked and wrote about it until more and more people joined them in this belief. The quarrel grew and grew and waged fiercely between the people who believed in slavery and those who did not. Then at last this country was plunged into a cruel war. The Northern people who wished to put an end to slavery fought against the Southern people who owned the slaves. This war lasted several years. Many brave men died and many precious lives were lost that the negro might be free. The man who did more than any other to free the slaves and keep this country as one nation was Abraham Lincoln.

There were large cracks between the logs. There was only a hole for the window. It was covered with oiled paper instead of glass. There were no doors. But there was an opening for a door. A bearskin hung over the opening. In this hut in the wilderness of Kentucky a baby boy was born. This baby was Abraham Lincoln. He was born in the year 1809.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln: The Man and the Statesman Acquaintance with the lives of great men and women is one of the best means of setting right ideals and developing good character. Lincoln's young soul was infused with the life of Washing ton. This sympathetic sketch cannot fail to lead to admiration of Lincoln as a man, and admira tion usually leads to imitation. On the other hand, the young student can, in this brief story, get a clear idea of the real issues be tween the North and the South, through the study of the kansas-nebraska Act, the Dred Scott case, the lincoln-douglas debates, the question of State Rights, and the Thirteenth Amendment.

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.
