Pages : 178
Book Description
Accepted history tells us that the sixteenth President of the United States was born to Thomas Lincoln and his bride, Nancy Hanks, in Hardin county, Kentucky three years after their marriage. To the contrary, the author of this fascinating book demonstrates, with an impressive collection of eyewitness testimonies and collaborating evidence, that the man known to the world as Abraham Lincoln was actually the offspring of an illicit relationship between Nancy Hanks and a married man named Abraham Enloe, in whose western North Carolina home she worked as a servant in the early years of the Nineteenth Century. Included in these pages are several photographs of various members of the Enloe family which bear such a striking resemblance to Lincoln that even his most ardent admirers in the last century were forced to admit to the truth of the accounts of his suppressed parentage.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. ADDENDA. PART I. AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTION. Since the making of this little book interest has steadily increased in the subject of the paternal origin of Abraham Lincoln, and the public faith has as steadily waxed in the theory upheld by this narrative. The book has passed through two editions; the last is now exhausted and the third, containing additional, vital evidence, is this you hold in your hand. Every statement of fact in this volume is the solemn statement of persons--intelligent admirers of Mr. Lincoln--the equal of the most conservative, trustworthy and patriotic in the country. The first two editions have circulated in every State in the Union; have gone to Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland and India. The author has received letters by the hundred from representative citizens manifesting much interest in the facts thus made public for the first time. Not a few of these letters are from gentlemen familiar with the time and men contemporaneous with Mr. Lincoln, some of whom knew Mr. Lincoln personally. Distinguished scholars, divines, statesmen and publicists of all sections have evinced previous knowledge of the existence of a foundation for this record, and attach unmistakable credence thereto. Truth is, historic record and the public voice this narrative has elicited, unite in showing that the public have been incredulous of the chapter on the paternal origin of Abraham Lincoln as written by his popular biographers. No biography is complete, no biography is faithful that has not an open, ringing announcement of the parentage of the subject. Mr. Lincoln's biographers may be divided into two groups touching his parentage: The first, those about whom the light had shone and whose sense of honor and professional...
America's God
Author: Mark A. NollPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199882231
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 637
Book Description
Religious life in early America is often equated with the fire-and-brimstone Puritanism best embodied by the theology of Cotton Mather. Yet, by the nineteenth century, American theology had shifted dramatically away from the severe European traditions directly descended from the Protestant Reformation, of which Puritanism was in the United States the most influential. In its place arose a singularly American set of beliefs. In America's God, Mark Noll has written a biography of this new American ethos. In the 125 years preceding the outbreak of the Civil War, theology played an extraordinarily important role in American public and private life. Its evolution had a profound impact on America's self-definition. The changes taking place in American theology during this period were marked by heightened spiritual inwardness, a new confidence in individual reason, and an attentiveness to the economic and market realities of Western life. Vividly set in the social and political events of the age, America's God is replete with the figures who made up the early American intellectual landscape, from theologians such as Jonathan Edwards, Nathaniel W. Taylor, William Ellery Channing, and Charles Hodge and religiously inspired writers such as Harriet Beecher Stowe and Catherine Stowe to dominant political leaders of the day like Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln. The contributions of these thinkers combined with the religious revival of the 1740s, colonial warfare with France, the consuming struggle for independence, and the rise of evangelical Protestantism to form a common intellectual coinage based on a rising republicanism and commonsense principles. As this Christian republicanism affirmed itself, it imbued in dedicated Christians a conviction that the Bible supported their beliefs over those of all others. Tragically, this sense of religious purpose set the stage for the Civil War, as the conviction of Christians both North and South that God was on their side served to deepen a schism that would soon rend the young nation asunder. Mark Noll has given us the definitive history of Christian theology in America from the time of Jonathan Edwards to the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. It is a story of a flexible and creative theological energy that over time forged a guiding national ideology the legacies of which remain with us to this day.
