Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, ISHS Superior Achievement Award, 2016 Although they inhabited different political, social, and cultural arenas, Abraham Lincoln and the pioneer generation of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, shared the same nineteenth-century world. Bryon C. Andreasen’s Looking for Lincoln in Illinois: Lincoln and Mormon Country relates more than thirty fascinating and surprising stories that show how the lives of Lincoln and the Mormons intersected. This richly illustrated and carefully researched book expands on some of the storyboards found on the Looking for Lincoln Story Trail, from the Mormon capital of Nauvoo to the state capital of Springfield. Created by the Looking for Lincoln Heritage Coalition, this trail consists of wayside exhibits posted in sites of significance to Lincoln’s life and career across fifty-two communities in Illinois. The book’s keyed maps, historic photos, and descriptions of battles, Mormon expeditions, and events at inns, federal buildings, and even Lincoln’s first Illinois log cabin connect the stories to their physical locations. Exploring the intriguing question of whether Lincoln and Mormon founder Joseph Smith ever met, the book reveals that they traveled the same routes and likely stayed at the same inns. The book also includes colorful and engaging looks at key figures such as Brigham Young, various Mormon apostles, and more. Anyone inspired by Lincoln, as well as Mormon and Illinois history enthusiasts, will appreciate this look back at a long-past, but not forgotten, landscape.
Book Synopsis Lincoln in Springfield by : Jan Jacobi
Download or read book Lincoln in Springfield written by Jan Jacobi and published by Reedy Press LLC. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Did he strike you as a rising man?” This is the question that surrounds Abraham Lincoln, the freshly minted lawyer eager to take Springfield by storm. But how can he know if he is rising or falling when so much of his character is yet to be determined including who he loves, what sort of politics he wants to engage in, and even what he believes about key issues plaguing the nation? Picking up at the end of his award-winning debut Young Lincoln, Jan Jacobi’s Lincoln in Springfield continues the saga of Abraham Lincoln’s development, as the young man becomes a young professional and politician. No longer does Lincoln grapple with his upbringing and yearn for freedom to forge his own path, now he is firmly on it—albeit on a borrowed horse and with only tenuous ideas about who exactly it is he wants to become. Follow along, from his time as a fledgling lawyer in Springfield to his first term as a Whig Congressman representing Illinois in Washington, D.C. As he argues cases, builds friendships with allies and rivals alike, marries, and begins his political career, the portrait of the presidential Lincoln will begin to emerge, though not without stumbles along the way. Though he still doesn’t quite know the answer, Lincoln in Springfield— Lincoln on his own for the first time—will begin to discern just what kind of person he is destined to be. “In this fascinating second volume, Lincoln in Springfield, Jacobi’s Lincoln matures with the town and the nation, and comes to understand that their challenges are also to be his.” —Robert Bray, author of Reading with Lincoln “Jan Jacobi’s Lincoln in Springfield is a highly readable, worthy sequel to his Young Lincoln.” —Michael Burlingame, author of Abraham Lincoln: A Life

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 In Lincoln's Shadow by : Roberta Senechal de la Roche
Download or read book In Lincoln's Shadow written by Roberta Senechal de la Roche and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2008-08-29 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Gustavus Myers Center Award for the Study of Human Rights in the United States! Winner of the Illinois State Historical Society Superior Achievement Award! This detailed case study of the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois, which began only a few blocks from Abraham Lincoln’s family home, explores the social origins of rioting by whites against the city’s African American community after a white woman alleged that a black man had raped her. Over two days rioters wrecked black-owned businesses, burned neighborhoods to the ground, killed two black men, and injured many others. Author Roberta Senechal de la Roche draws from a wide range of sources to describe the riot, identify the rioters and their victims, and challenge previous interpretations that attribute rioting to interracial competition for jobs, housing, or political influence. Written in a direct and clear style, In Lincoln’s Shadow documents a violent explosion of racial hatred that shocked the nation and reveals the complexity of white racial attitudes in the early twentieth century.
