Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln's in TownHe 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln When Abraham's father was a little boy, his father took him out there to live. That was a long time ago. Kentucky was then only a great wilderness. There were Indians everywhere. There were dense forests, and there were bears and foxes and wolves in these forests. There was no city of Louisville then. No one dreamed there ever would be such a city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lincoln and the Newspapers E gather to think of the living Lincoln, for he lives today in the hearts of the people as no other purely human character. The things that are seen are temporal. The things that are unseen are eternal. The spirit of Lincoln is a binding factor in our national fabric; nor is it confined to our national domain. His spirit. Is a benefaction, ordered of God, to humanity everywhere, and for all time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln's New Salem No other portion of Lincoln's life lends itself so readily to intensive study of his environment as do his six years at New Salem. His physical surroundings have been re-created. The names and occupations of practically all of his asso ciates and something of the character of many of them are known. The village was small enough to make practicable a reasonably complete description of its people and its life. Aside from its connection with Lincoln, New Salem is important as an example of a typical American pioneer vil lage. There were hundreds like it. Some of them survived others died, as it did. It is one of the few - perhaps the only one - whose founding, growth and decline can be minutely traced. Part One of this book is devoted to the history Of New Sa lem. It tells who the inhabitants were, how they lived, how they looked on life. Since many of those most active in the village lived in outlying settlements the account is not limited to the village, but provides a picture of the whole community. Part One sets the stage, so to speak; for Part Two, in which Lincoln's activities are discussed, and the meaning of the New Salem years in his development is ap praised. Part Three explains the growth of the Lincoln legend around the site of the lost town, and the changing conception of the significance of the frontier as a factor in Lincoln's life. It explains how New Salem came to be re stored, the manner in which the facts about the old cabins were secured, how the furnishings were acquired, and the problems that had to be solved in the restoration.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln in His Parent's Home County On the east side of a small creek that after ward took the name of Lincoln's Run, the first Lincoln cabin in Kentucky was built by the pioneer Abraham and his three sons, Mordecai. Josiah and Thomas. For about 20 years this cabin was the home of the forbears of Presi dent Lincoln. It was finally abandoned in 1802 and after standing for a number of years was torn down. In '1788, Abraham Lincoln, Sr., [was slain by an Indian while hunting with his sons, Mordecai and Josiah. The Indian, tradition says, was afterward slain by Mordecai Lincoln. Tradi tion also says that the slain Abraham was buried on a bluff overlooking the Beech Fork about one miles from his cabin.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln and New Salem The edition of the little pamphlet explanatory of the Objects and purposes of this League, termed by it a Prospectus of The Old Salem Lincoln League for the Restoration of New Salem, the Early Home of Abraham Lincoln, has been exhausted and it has become necessary to supply something in its place. We as sumed that the people generally' knew that New Salem was Lin; coln's Alma Mater, that he came to New Salem a friendless, over grown boy, uncouth and uneducated, with a knowledge of only the barest rudiments of reading, writing and arithmetic; that during the six-years of his residence here, his character was formed; his education completed, his name of honest Abe ac quired; the pathway his feet were to tread during his future life blazed, and his great heart broken by the loss of his first love, the one great romance and tragedy of his life. We find, however, that many of our people have been so en grossed with other matters, more personal to them, that they have failed to acquaint themselves with this phase of Lincoln's life.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln and His Generals The visitor to Philadelphia's beautiful Fairmount Park will see on a hill overlooking the Schuylkill River a plain board shanty with the United States flag flying over it. It is the cabin used as head quarters by Grant at City Point on the James River, in 1864 and 1865. In that room the orders were written which directed the far flung armies of the nation in the last year of the Civil War. As one passes the cabin it is not difficult to see, in imagination, some of the chief military and political actors of the great drama: the severe and scholarly Meade, the dynamic Sheridan, the 'superb' Han cock, the thoughtful Warren, the big and manly Burnside, the restless Sherman, with the fire of genius burning in his eyes, the capable Porter, Grant smoking a cigar, a hand thrust into his pocket, and Lincoln with his high silk hat and frock coat, and melancholy countenance.
