Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2 of 2: The True Story of a Great Life As he entered the trial, relates one of his col leagues at the bar, * where most lawyers would ob ject he would say he reckoned it would be fair to let this in, or that; and sometimes, when his adver sary could not quite prove what Lincoln knew to be the'truth, he 'reckoned it would be fair to admit the truth to be so-and-so. When he did object to the court, and when he heard his objections an swered, he would often say, Well, I reckon I must be wrong.' Now, about the time he had practised this three-fourths through the case, if his adversary didn't understand him, he would wake up in a few minutes learning that he had feared the Greeks too late, and find himself beaten. He was wise as a serpent in the trial of a cause, but I have had too many scares from his blows to certify that he was harmless as a dove. When the whole thing was unravelled, the adversary would begin to see that what he was so blandly giving away was simply what he couldn't get and keep. By giving away six points and carrying the seventh he carried his case, and the whole case hanging on the seventh, he traded away everything which would give him the least aid in carrying that. Any man who took Lincoln for a simple-minded man would very soon wake up with his back in a ditch. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln, His Life and Times, Vol. 2 The Battles at Fredericksburg. - Rebel Raid into Pennsylvania. - Results at Gettysburg. - Vicksburg and Port Hudson Captured. - Public Rejoicings. - The President's Speech. - Thanksgiving for Victories. - Battle of Chattanooga. - Thanksgiving Proclamation. The military events of 1863, though of very great importance, are much less closely connected with the direct action of the President than those which occurred in 1862; we shall not attempt, therefore, to narrate them as much in detail. When General Burnside succeeded General McClellan in command of the Army of the Potomac, on the 7th of November, 1862, that army was at Warrenton, the rebel forces falling back before it towards Richmond. Deeming it impossible to force the enemy to a decisive battle, and unsafe to follow him to Richmond on a line which must make it very difficult to keep up his communications, General Burnside, on the 15th. turned his army towards Fredericksburg - marching on the north bank of the Rappahannock, intending to cross the river, take possession of Fredericksburg, and march upon Richmond from that point. The advance division, under General Sumner, arrived opposite Fredericksburg on the 19th; but a pontoon train, which had been ordered and was expected to be there at the same time, had not come - so that crossing at the moment was impossible. The delay that thus became unavoidable enabled General Lee to bring up a strong force from the rebel army, and possess himself of the heights of Fredericksburg. On the night of the 10th of December, General Burnside threw a bridge of pontoons across the river, and the next day constructed four bridges, under cover of a terrific bombardment of the town.

In May, 1861, being in com mand at Fortress Monroe, he had refused, under instructions from Cameron, to return three fugi tive slaves to their rebel owner, . And he had in geniously put his refusal on the ground that they were contraband of war. The phrase instantly became popular. General Butler says that, as a lawyer, [he] was never very proud of it; but technical inaccuracy does not hurt the force of an epigram which expresses a sound principle.

Buell wanted gunboats and 501 diers sent up the Tennessee and the Cumberland, to attack the center of the line from Columbus to Bowling Green, on which the great power of the rebellion in the \vest was arrayed, and said whatever is done should be done speedily - within a few days.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2: By Distinguished Men of His Time University at Lexington, Kentucky, the main building, including the dormitory, was burned down, and I sought lodgings with Robert Todd and wife, where I became acquainted with Miss Mary Todd. Her elder sister married Ninian Edwards, of Illinois, where Miss Todd followed and married Abraham Lincoln. I was on very agreeable terms with the Todd family, who were always my avowed friends during my antislavery career.\ So when I went to speak in the Fremont campaign at Spring field, Illinois, in 1856, Abraham Lincoln and his law partner, 0. S. Browning, called upon me. As I was speaking every day, I had but little time for social intercourse. The feeling against the liberal move ment was as Violent then in the free as in the slave States. Lovejoy had been killed not long before at Alton, and the State House was refused me. But, as the weather was pleasant, I spoke, in the grove which was about it, to 'an immense audience, for more than two hours. Lincoln and Browning lay294 reminiscences 0f abraham lincoln.

I was educated by Madame Mantelli, a lady who lived opposite Mr. Clay's, and who was an accom plished French scholar. Our conversation at school was carried on entirely in French - in fact we were allowed to speak nothing else. I finished my edu cation at Mrs. Ward's Academy, an institution to which many people from the North sent their daughters. In 1837 I visited Springfield, Illinois, remaining three months. I returned to Kentucky, remaining till 1839, when I again set out for Illi nois, which State finally became my home.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2 of 2: A New Portrait I had hardly begun the study of Abraham Lincoln when I found periods of his life entirely unaccounted for among the documents published in the standard editions of his works. I found a great many lapses, omissions of comment on questions of momentous import, questions which I felt he must have considered, and about which he must have spoken. Every new discovery began to fill these gaps and explained his conduct in certain situations, and made futile any charge that he was at any time silent on the important questions of the hour.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Every-Day Life of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2: A Narrative and Descriptive Biography With Pen-Pictures and Personal Recollections by Those Who Knew Him Dr. George B. Loring, of Massachusetts, who was one of the first to meet Lincoln after his arrival in Washington, says: I saw him on his arrival, and when he made his first appearance in a public place. I was standing in the upper hall of Willard's Hotel, conversing with a friend and listening to the confused talk of the crowded drawing-room adjoining. As we stood there, a tall and awkward form appeared above the stairs, especially conspicuous, as it came into view, for a new and stylish hat. It was evidently President Lincoln, whom neither of us had seen before. As soon as his presence was known, the hall was thronged from the drawing-rooms. He seemed somewhat startled by the crowd, did not remove his hat, wended his way somewhat rapidly and with mere passing recognition, and took shelter in his room. When the crowd had dispersed, my friend and myself - although we had opposed his election - called upon him to pay our respects. He received us with great cordiality, spoke freely of the difficulties by which he was surrounded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
