Excerpt: ...out of Prison he was so dull, stupid, morose, excited io anger by petty troubles, small in our view but mountains in his way, filled in his waking hours with moody recolleciions, and rising at mid-night to sing incoherent songs, dance without music, read unintelligible jargon and combat with imaginary enemies. How oiherwise than on the score of madness can you explain the stupidity which caused him to be taken lor a fool at Apptegate's, on the way from the Prison lohis home? How else the ignorance which made him incapable ot distinguishing the coin which he offered at the halter's shop? How else his ludicrous apprehensions of being recommitted l0 the State Prison for live years, for the offence of breaking his dinner knife? How else his odd and strange manner of accouniing for his deafness, by expressions, all absurd and senseless, and varying with each interogator; as to John Depuy "that Tyler struck him across the eats with a plank, and knocked his hearing off, and that it never came back; that they put salt in his ear, but it did'nt do any good for his hearing was gone, all knocked off;" to the Rev. John M. Austin, "the siones dropped down my ears, or the stones of my ears dropped down;" to Ethan A. Warden, " got stone in my ear, got it out, thought 1 heard better when I got it out;" to Doctor Hermance, "that his ears dropped," and to the same witness on another occasion, "that the hearing of his ears fell down;" to his mother, ' that his ear had fell down;" to Deborah Depuy, " that Tyler si tuck him on the head with a board and it seemed as if the sound went down his throat;" io Doctor Brigham, "thai he was hurt when young, it made him deaf in the right ear, ..".

Book Description
"Abraham Lincoln has long been considered the greatest president by scholars of American history. According to legal scholars, he could just as easily have been one of the foremost lawyers in the nation had he not become president." "Lincoln practiced law for about twenty-five years, mainly in the circuit courts of Illinois. However, he was hardly a hick country lawyer. In contrast, Lincoln was an incisive, determined, and assertive litigator with an overwhelming caseload. He sought out new business for his law firm and cared about earning a comfortable living." "A ten-year research project, the Lincoln Legal Papers, discovered thousands of yellowed legal documents in musty and dusty courtroom basements. Those handwritten legal papers related to more than 5,000 cases that Lincoln handled, more than 400 before the supreme court of Illinois. In addition, Lincoln appeared before justices of the peace, circuit court judges, and even the Supreme Court of the United States." "For the first time, this book uses the newly discovered legal documents to tell the story of more than sixty of Lincoln's cases. Many of these cases have never been written about previously. Allen D. Spiegel describes how Lincoln the lawyer handled a staggering variety of cases involving arbitration, assault and battery, bad debt, bankruptcy, bastardy, bestiality, breach of marriage, divorce, impeachment of an Illinois justice, insanity, land titles, libel, medical malpractice, murder, partnership dissolution, patent infringement, personal injuries, property damages, rape, railroad bonds, sexual slander, slave ownership, and wrongful dismissal."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
