Book Description
Excerpt from The Martyr President: A Discourse Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Penn Yan, Sabbath Morning, April 16th, 1865, on the Death of Abraham Lincoln Calamities are frequent! Such dispensations, startling and fearful as they may be to those intimately involved in them, are generally so confined as to locality, so limited in the numbers affected by them, are so transient in their effects, and so wholly isolated from questions of morality and Christianity, that rarely does one occur which can be called, properly, a "national calamity." They also, either by natural signs, or by the forecast of the human mind, are so far discovered, that in some measure, men are prepared for their coming before the hour, in which the general grief shall smite them; when the billows of public woe shall be lashed to foam, and beat over them with sullen roar, and irresistable force. The citizens of these United States are to-day in the dust, agonized, bewildered, stunned by the national calamity which has smitten them down. Sudden as the crashing thunder, sounding through the clear sky, fearful and deadly as the swift fiery bolt that rends the gnarled oak, it fell upon us. A deed hath been enacted without a parallel in all the annals of earthly history! excepting Him whose resurrection from the dead, millions shall this day celebrate, who came the only begotten of God; who was God, and hence not to be brought into comparison with mere man. Excepting only the God-man our Saviour, there has been so sad a death! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
"[A]n astonishingly interesting interpretation…Fox is wonderfully shrewd and often dazzling." —Jill Lepore, New York Times Book Review Abraham Lincoln remains America’s most beloved leader. The fact that he was lampooned in his day as "ugly and grotesque" only made Lincoln more endearing to millions. In Lincoln’s Body, acclaimed cultural historian Richard Wightman Fox explores how deeply, and how differently, Americans—black and white, male and female, Northern and Southern—have valued our sixteenth president, from his own lifetime to the Hollywood biopics about him. Lincoln continues to survive in a body of memory that speaks volumes about our nation.
The Death of a President

Pages : 513
Book Description
William Manchester's epic and definitive account of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. As the world still reeled from the tragic and historic events of November 22, 1963, William Manchester set out, at the request of the Kennedy family, to create a detailed, authoritative record of the days immediately preceding and following President John F. Kennedy's death. Through hundreds of interviews, abundant travel and firsthand observation, and with unique access to the proceedings of the Warren Commission, Manchester conducted an exhaustive historical investigation, accumulating forty-five volumes of documents, exhibits, and transcribed tapes. His ultimate objective -- to set down as a whole the national and personal tragedy that was JFK's assassination -- is brilliantly achieved in this galvanizing narrative, a book universally acclaimed as a landmark work of modern history.
