Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Lincoln's Home Town: How the Springfield Survey Went About Getting Results On the other hand, many such beliefs have been justified by study of the facts, and others have been found to contain half truths, such as the notion that malaria is due to swamps and stagnant water. It was 'j. A. Froude who once said: Depend upon it, in all long-established practices or spiritual formulas 'there has been some living truth. But even these beliefs and half truths, although they at times have served good purposes, really support our point, since they leap into great practical usefulness upon being proved. At best, untested belief, a priori theory, or conjecture are uncertain foundations upon which to build, whether in social work, industry, commerce or government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Springfield Of pavement. Hogs, cows and chickens wandered at will, and disputed the few board walks and footpaths with pedes trians. (fin the twenty-four years Of Lin coln's residence Springfield grew to a city of ten thousand inhabitants. The brick court house was soon replaced by the stone State House. In time two and three story brick buildings supplanted the Smaller stores around the square and lined the adjacent streets Fine homes ap peared, and the log cabins vanished. Rail roads came, and with them, many of the conveniences and graces of life. But erudi ties remained, for except around the square the streets were still unpaved, hogs still wallowed in mud holes, and frogs croaked in undrained swamps. such, in brief, was the environment in which Lincoln, by the twin paths of law and politics, attained national promi nence. The successive steps in his tpro fessional life are found in summary orm in the following pages; his political career deserves a few words'here. at the time Of his settlement in Springfield, Lincoln was serving his second term as a member of the Illinois House Of Repre sentatives. In 1838 and again in 1840 hewas re-elected. after four terms in the General Assembly, Lincoln set elec tion to the national House of Representa rives as his goal. His chance came in 1846, and he was duly elected. His term in Congress, however, was a deep disap pointment. Not only did he fail to win the distinction he hoped for, but by op posing the Mexican War, he incurred the displeasure of most of his constituents. When, after Taylor's election in 1848, he was unable to secure appointment to an office which he wanted, he retired in dis appointment and resolved to devote him self to the law. (it his resolution he kept until 1854, when the passage Of the kansas-nebraska Bill thoroughly aroused him. From that time on he threw all his energies into the fight against what he considered to be the growing menace of slavery. By 1856, when the Republican Party was organized in Illinois, he was generally considered its leader; two years later all were agreed that he was the only possible opponent of Douglas. For three months the two rivals traveled over the state, speaking in every sizable town. Douglas won, but Lincoln did not lose, for a national reputation was the rewardof his effort. This reputation served him well in 1860, when the Republican Party gathered in national convention at Chicago. The most prominent leaders Seward, Chase, Bates and mclean - were either too radical, or too conservative, Old, or too long in public life, for strong factions of the party, and the prize fell to Lincoln. At the news cannon boomed, bonfires blazed, and Springfield went wild with joy - and not until Lin coln spoke his words of farewell onfeb ruary 11, 1861, did it relapse into its cus tomary uneventful existence. (lct he build ings described in this little book reflect much of Lincoln's life in Springfield. Perhaps, through them, the visitor will be able to visualize the town of which they were once an integral part. And if he is fortunate, he may even get a glimpse of a gaunt man in a tall hat, an Old gray shawl around his shoulders, walking slowly and with head bowed in thought.

Book Synopsis Recreation in Springfield, Illinois by : Lee F. Hanmer
Download or read book Recreation in Springfield, Illinois written by Lee F. Hanmer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recreation in Springfield, Illinois: A Section of the Springfield Survey The north-south diameter of Springfield is a little more than four miles and its east-west dimension about three miles. Within its somewhat jagged boundaries there is an area of over eight square miles. The streets run either north-south or east-west, the few exceptions being some of those which follow railway or trolley lines. In width the streets range from 40 to 80 feet and practically all blocks are bisected by alleys. Aside from the central part where the stores, offices, and public buildings are crowded together there are no large sections, except on the outskirts, wholly devoid of dwelling houses. The six important railway lines which enter the city have their stations and freight houses in separate districts, and the various factories are surrounded by residential districts. The apartment house has just begun to appear but tenements are not yet numerous. Outside of the downtown district most families enjoy a yard. True, nearly two-thirds of the population live east of the central north-south line (third Street), but more than half of the city's area is also east of this line. F ew house sites even in this more crowded half are smaller than 40 x 150 feet and most of them are larger. Congestion of population is not a factor in the recrea tional life of Springfield. It is a city of homes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Hoosiers and the American Story by : Madison, James H.
Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
