Book Description
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln It was near the present town of Gentryville, in what was then Perry County, but is now Spencer County, that Mr. Lincoln and his son and a neighbour at once set tp work to build a new log-cabin. It had two rooms, one downstairs, and a small attic or loft above. Sarah and her parents slept below, in what was the living room of the family; and Abraham slept in the loft, on the rough logs that made the oor. A bear-skin was spread for him to lie upon, and a blanket covered him. The bedstead of his father and mother was made of slabs nailed together against the side of the cabin, and their bed was a heap of dried leaves thrown upon the slabs. A rough table and three stools formed the rest of the furniture. There was always a good fire burning in the cabin, and when it was very cold, all the family slept around it; while skins were nailed over the doors to keep out the biting winds. Winter was upon them, but Spring would follow; and Thomas Lincoln and his son began the hard work of clearing the forest, and preparing the land to receive the seed which they would put into it. Abraham, of course, helped him; and he proved the truth of the saying, It is good for a 'man that he bear the yoke in his youth. He grew strong and hardy, self-denying and brave. He was very industrious; and when his day's work upon the forest or the farm was finished, he was free to spend some happy hours with his friends, and in the way he liked best.

Book Description
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: And the Abolition of Slavery in the United States It is of course impossible to give within the limits of a small book all the details of a busy life, and also the history of the American Emancipation and its causes but I trust that I have omitted little of much' importance. The books to which I have been chiefly indebted, and from which I have borrowed most freely, are the lives of Lincoln by W. H. Lamon, and by my personal friends H. J. Raymond and Dr. Holland and also the works referring to the war by I. N. Arnold, F. B. Carpenter, L. P. Brockett, A.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lincoln Was Here, for Another Go at Douglas So the rumble of oratory that echoed over the prairies of Illinois in the late summer of 1858 presaged the coming of the storm of sorrow and sadness, of broken homes, of a nation torn by internal strife and filled only with agony and with anguish. But as a just and merciful God sends the calm after the storm, to heal the wounds it has left so the storm over the prairies came to an end in the chill days of the fall of '58 and so the same merciful and forebearing Providence spared the nation from destruction so that mankind could again pick up its burden of free government not only in our own land but in all others for all time to come.
