Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln in Illinois Sangamon, and remembered well that no one dreamed of inviting him to the ball that had celebrated that event. Springfield, one might say, was permeated with the spirit of Lincoln. The house where I went to school with other little Springfield girls was the house in which he had been married. The desk in a corridor of the chief hotel, upon which we did not hesitate to perch at class dances, had been Lincoln's. The house where Lincoln had lived, and where his children had been born, was Open to the public. One took country cousins to see its interior. The monu ment where he slept dominated the cemetery. The bristling groups of bronze soldiers at the four corners of the shaft were of endless interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Miss. Ann Rutledge, New Salem, Pioneering and the Poem: A Lecture Delivered in the Old Sangamon Country Court House, November, 1866 William H. Herndon had curiously announced his lecture for the evening of November 16, 1866, as on Abraham Lincoln, Miss Ann Rutledge, New Salem, Pioneering, and the Poem Yet that strange title attracted only a meagre group of people to the Court House in Springfield, Illinois, to hear him interpret their friend and his late law partner, the Martyred President. He had lectured on Lincoln thrice before, and it's likely that some who heard all four lectures asked themselves in wonder what was Billy Herndon driving at? Actually this was a trial flight for the biography he purposed. Cer tainly none had opportunity to know Abraham Lin coln better, and since that sorrowful day when the body of their neighbor had lain in state in the Illi nois state house, Herndon had been visited by many an ambitious writer seeking to levy on his store of facts and memories. That had been a disillusioning experience. Already he could perceive the folk spirit of a people busy making its herointo a demi god. He could not recognize the Lincoln whom he knew in what resulted.

Excerpt from Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1 Yet, however desirable an object the con struction of a railroad through our country may be; however high our imaginations may be heated at thoughts of it - there is always a heart appalling shock accompanying the amount Of its cost, which forces us to shrink from our pleasing anticipations. The probable cost of this contemplated railroad is estimated at $290, 000; the bare statement of which, in my opin ion, is sufiicient to justify the belief that the improvement of the Sangamon River is an Oh ject much better suited to our infant resources.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln's in Town He served for the duration of the war, and was mustered out on July 10, 1832, at White Water, on the Rock river in Wisconsin. With a friend he made his way back to Sangamon county on foot and by canoe, for his horse had been lost in service. These are the brief facts of Lincoln's only service in the armed forces of the United States, except when he commanded the armies and navy of the United States in the Civil war. He looked deep into the heart of the American volunteer in those three brief months of service from April to July 1832. He learned their thoughts, learned their habits, learned to command them, learned to work and march and fight with them, these men who have always been the backbone of American armed forces. The knowledge was priceless when it came to commanding hundreds of thousands of the sons and grandsons of these same types of volunteers in the Civil war.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln's Land: And Other Recent Verses In the mid land was born a real man, Who out of penury and plainest toil Grew on to his great manhood. Child and boy, He knew the lessons of adversity, The frugal fare, the pioneer's stern task, The lonely longing, those few ragged books That yet his kindling meditation fed And launched his mind upon uncharted seas. His inner life a brooding solitude, With melancholy wondering, he saw No path to what his yearning spirit sought And least of all could guess where he would find An answer to the query of his soul.

Book Description
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.
