As soon as Thomas was old enough to work, he drifted about wherever he could find a job. He grew up to be a wandering laboring boy, without any education and with very little ambition. But he was sober and honest. His friends liked him for his good humor and for the good stories he told. He was tall and stalwart and successful in the ath lctic contests of those days. He learned the trade of a carpenter, and married the pretty niece of the man in whose shop he worked. Her name was Nancy Hanks. She, too, was an orphan and had had a hard life. She was as poor as her husband, but she knew how to read and write and taught him to sign his name. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

So the man behind the mask, whether it be placed there by himself or others, must at length come forth in his own true character. We have seen, as has been well said, the Lincoln legend in actual process of evolution, and cannot again be surprised at the historical myths that have come down to us from more uncritical ages. But legend and myth must give way before conscientious investigation, an investigation which brings out suppressed facts and points an unerring finger at fallacies and fabrications.

Much of it came to him from close personal observation, and at a time when it was indelibly impressed on his mind and heart.

His enemies, rich, powerful, high in position, scrupled at no means and left no stone unturned to cruch him. At the last trial so positive was the perjured evidence that when it was once heard the Chicago papers were telegraphed that he would be convicted. Yet this: very circumstance saved Mr. Chiniquy' 3 being a vic tim to his foes. A lady in Chicago reading the papers said it would be too bad, for she knew Mr. Chiniquy was innocent. Not being able to go to Ur bana, her husband prevailed on another lady who knew the same facts to go in her place. Upon her arrival the whole plot was exposed that Mr. Chini quy was saved - the witnesses leaving town before court opened the second day for fear of being lynched.

Without exception they all testify to the truthfulness Of the statement, and are able to tell exactly where they were at the time as well as to give in the minutest detail all the attendant circum stances. This is of itself a most impressive tribute to the memory Of the martyred President. It con elusively proves the large place which he occupied in the hearts of the common people of his day. People who knew Lincoln personally are now few in number. Even those who can remember that fateful fourteenth of April, 1865, when the whole world mourned, form a relatively small portion of the living. And it is feared that the younger gen cration are not as familiar with his life and char acter as they should be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1942 and now reprinted for the first time, They Knew Lincoln is a classic in African American history and Lincoln studies. Part memoir and part history, the book is an account of John E. Washington's childhood among African Americans in Washington, DC, and of the black people who knew or encountered Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. Washington recounted stories told by his grandmother's elderly friends--stories of escaping from slavery, meeting Lincoln in the Capitol, learning of the president's assassination, and hearing ghosts at Ford's Theatre. He also mined the US government archives and researched little-known figures in Lincoln's life, including William Johnson, who accompanied Lincoln from Springfield to Washington, and William Slade, the steward in Lincoln's White House. Washington was fascinated from childhood by the question of how much African Americans themselves had shaped Lincoln's views on slavery and race, and he believed Lincoln's Haitian-born barber, William de Fleurville, was a crucial influence. Washington also extensively researched Elizabeth Keckly, the dressmaker to Mary Todd Lincoln, and advanced a new theory of who helped her write her controversial book, Behind the Scenes, A new introduction by Kate Masur places Washington's book in its own context, explaining the contents of They Knew Lincoln in light of not only the era of emancipation and the Civil War, but also Washington's own times, when the nation's capital was a place of great opportunity and creativity for members of the African American elite. On publication, a reviewer noted that the "collection of Negro stories, memories, legends about Lincoln" seemed "to fill such an obvious gap in the material about Lincoln that one wonders why no one ever did it before." This edition brings it back to print for a twenty-first century readership that remains fascinated with Abraham Lincoln.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences About Abraham Lincoln In the dawn of the 20th century, looking backward through the vista of time, I recall my first knowledge of Lincoln. Early in the forties, my father, then a resident of the state of Indiana, had correspondence with him pertaining to business of the anti - slavery cause, in which my father was a zealous worker; and previous to this Lincoln had declare-d his opposition to slavery and its extension, basing his opinion on facts experienced in the South where he had been reared. Thus I came to know something of his individual character and sterling qualities of mind and heart prior to meeting him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln; Lincoln and Wilson; Woodrow Wilson The man who is great must love the truth. He must be fearless, he must me selﬂess, and his must be the gift of vision. Lincoln was a lover of truth, as witnessed by the utter sincerity and the sometimes irritatingly rugged honesty of his being. He knew not fear, and his fearlessness rose out of the high quali ties of confidence in that march of events whose in strument he was, and in such incapacity as 15 the hallmark of greatness for assessing the consequences to his own person of failure. He was a selﬂess man. Who can ever think of Lincoln as guiding himself in his words and acts by reference to his own gain and advantage? How many men who might else be great are minished by this test of their own lamentable inability to lift themselves up to the level of self less being and striving and serving! The man who is great must have vision. He must not only see the thing that is on all sides, but he must foresee the thing that is not and yet is bound to be. Vision means prejudgment, - the power to know what will be because of that moral foresight that helps a man to determine what ought to be. Such vision, wide, clear-eyed, prophetic, was Lincoln's.

Next day at a timely hour, armed with letters of introduction given us by Governor Chase, Hon. Thomas Ewing, and others, we presented ourselves at Lincoln's office, then located in the State Capitol of Illinois. Although surrounded by a few political friends he received us kindly, and it was rather ﬂattering to our vanity, however, for he seemed to know us by intuition. As he was a prompt man, he lost no time in proceeding to business, and inquired how I made my busts. I gave him a brief description of my process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Lincoln My Comrades and Friends: If there is any person living who should be grateful for such an opportunity as this, and before such an audience, to pay his tribute to Abraham Lincoln, it is myself, for as President he raised me from a citizen to the highest command and highest rank in the army. He was my friend from the time I first met him until I helped to lay him away in Springfield, Illinois. No one can appreciate what that friendship and what his acts were to me, unless they have experienced the benefit of it as I have. Now, before I take up the subject I am to speak upon, I want to read to you Abraham Lincoln's own biography of himself, to show you from what a simple and low station he arose to be a great General, a great Statesman, a most just and kind ruler - the best of this era. In a letter to Mr. F. Fell he writes: I was born February 12, 1809, in Hardin county, Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia of undistinguished families - second families perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in my tenth year, was of a family of the name of Hanks, some of whom now reside in Adams and others in Macon counties, Illinois. My paternal grandfather.
