Book excerpt: Excerpt from President Lincoln as War Statesman The views of these professedly military histories, mingled in varying proportions, we find swallowed whole by the writers of many general histories who repeat, parrot-like, jibes against Lincoln's imbecile vacillation or bull-headed blundering, as the case may be, without attempting to understand or to analyze the points under discussion. Amid all this harsh condemnation the singu lar fact stands out that the common people, in whose good sense and judgment Lincoln so firmly trusted, have returned the compliment; they have not only refused to accept the quips of the captions critics but, on the con trary, as James Schouler so aptly puts it, see more colossal as time recedes, the figure of Abraham Lincoln, towering above his contemporaries.

Book Synopsis Abraham Lincoln, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States by : William Harrison Lambert
Download or read book Abraham Lincoln, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States written by William Harrison Lambert and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-17 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States: Annual Oration Delivered Before the Society of the Army of the Potomac When forty thousand Frenchmen, chafing under the impe rial rule that had overthrown their loved Republic, sought to express their sympathy with the American people in the hour of its profound grief, they presented to the widow Of the martyred President a massive gold medal, upon which was inscribed this summary Of his work, this legend Of his eternal fame: lincoln the honest man - abolished slavery, RE established the union - saved the republic - without veil ing the form OF liberty. From the highest reach that Mr. Lincoln had attained before his accession to the Presidency to the zenith of his career, the space seems incalculable. The study Of his earlier life shows indeed that he possessed clearness of thought, remarkable gift Of expression, native sagacity, honesty Of purpose, and courage Of conviction that he was devoted to the rights Of man, and that he loved his country; but that he possessed elementsof greatness in such degree as was revealed by the war, could not have been surmised from aught he had said or done. And that he should manifest so soon and so signally his ability to rule a great nation in the most dangerous period Ofits existence; that he should overtower his associates, and prove that more than they he was fitted to save the government; that he could wield a power vastly greater than that which had been possessed by his predecessors and surpassing that exercised by any contemporary ruler, king or emperor, could not have been foreseen by any lacking divine inspiration. Not by graded steps, but by giant stride, Lincoln reached the height of power, achievement, and fame. True, the progress Of the war revealed growth in his charac ter, thought, and force, and he stood conspicuously higher at its close than at its beginning; but at its opening it was apparent that Providence had so shaped the country's destiny that the man who had been chosen mainly because of his availability as a presidential candidate was far and away the one man for the Office and the work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life, and Martyrdom of Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States; And Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States Yet in the case of Gladstone the prediction would not have been a wild one. His father was a man of large fortune who sat in Parliament for many years. The son would have the best school and university education which family position and wealth could procure. He would not need to earn a living, and could devote all his time and energy to public life. The parents of Abraham Lincoln, on the other hand, were poor pioneers, though no poorer than most of their neighbours. The father could barely read and write, the mother made her mark. The boy would grow to maturity on backwoods farms and would learn no more in the makeshift schools that the region offered than to read, write, and do simple arithmetic. After striking out on his own he would earn his living as a clerk in a frontier store, as village postmaster, and as a surveyor of the virgin lands that new settlers were then taking up.

With a friend he made his way back to Sangamon county on foot and by canoe, for his horse had been lost in service.These are the brief facts of Lincoln's only service in the armed forces of the United States, except when he commanded the armies and navy of the United States in the Civil war.He looked deep into the heart of the American volunteer in those three brief months of service from April to July 1832. He learned their thoughts, learned their habits, learned to command them, learned to work and march and fight with them, these men who have always been the backbone of American armed forces. The knowledge was priceless when it came to commanding hundreds of thousands of the sons and grandsons of these same types of volunteers in the Civil war.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Lincoln and His Admirals by : Craig Symonds
Download or read book Lincoln and His Admirals written by Craig Symonds and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-17 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln began his presidency admitting that he knew "but little of ships," but he quickly came to preside over the largest national armada to that time, not eclipsed until World War I. Written by naval historian Craig L. Symonds, Lincoln and His Admirals unveils an aspect of Lincoln's presidency unexamined by historians until now, revealing how he managed the men who ran the naval side of the Civil War, and how the activities of the Union Navy ultimately affected the course of history. Beginning with a gripping account of the attempt to re-supply Fort Sumter--a comedy of errors that shows all too clearly the fledgling president's inexperience--Symonds traces Lincoln's steady growth as a wartime commander-in-chief. Absent a Secretary of Defense, he would eventually become de facto commander of joint operations along the coast and on the rivers. That involved dealing with the men who ran the Navy: the loyal but often cranky Navy Secretary Gideon Welles, the quiet and reliable David G. Farragut, the flamboyant and unpredictable Charles Wilkes, the ambitious ordnance expert John Dahlgren, the well-connected Samuel Phillips Lee, and the self-promoting and gregarious David Dixon Porter. Lincoln was remarkably patient; he often postponed critical decisions until the momentum of events made the consequences of those decisions evident. But Symonds also shows that Lincoln could act decisively. Disappointed by the lethargy of his senior naval officers on the scene, he stepped in and personally directed an amphibious assault on the Virginia coast, a successful operation that led to the capture of Norfolk. The man who knew "but little of ships" had transformed himself into one of the greatest naval strategists of his age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, the Seer From this method of treatment to that of writing a complete and exhaustive history of the period - 1840 to 1865 - political, financial and military, and thus including Lincoln, we must at times dissent and hope for a narrative of his own cycle in the history of our country. It appears that foreign observers were more fortunate in their estimate of our great War President. They began to perceive earlier than did we that he moved in an orbit all his own. Ibey concede that no one like him appeared since the days of Luther and Cromwell and William of Orange, not one of whom compares with Lincoln measured by the touchstone of performance. Not one of these had the immense range of mind or the multitudinous activities. Not one of these was called upon to see and speak to so many people in a lifetime as Lincoln saw and spoke to in a few short years. Not one of these was called upon to cope with so many various and difficult problems as was he. Not one of these gave himself so wholeheartedly and completely to a cause as did he. Not one of these had the wide human sympathies which were his, which included love for the stranger, which embraced sympathy for the down trodden - for the slave. Not one of these with whom he might be compared lived practically his whole life and prepared during his whole life to carry out, without compromise, one overmastering idea, to reachone goal, accomplish one, up to his day unsolvable, insuperable task. And this is just what Lincoln did. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

But how was it General Lee lost this decisive and crucial battle of the war The answer is: By a military blunder so great that his Generals besought him not to make, it. Lee was the ablest strategist of the war. He outclassed all the Northern Generals, including m'lellan and Grant, but at the battle of Gettysburg he ordered an advance that was so sure of failure that we cannot but recognize the hand of God and the answer to Lincoln's prayer.

Book Synopsis Lincoln Takes Command by : Steve Norder
Download or read book Lincoln Takes Command written by Steve Norder and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed history of one week during the Civil War in which the American president assumed control of the nation’s military. One rainy evening in May, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln boarded the revenue cutter Miami and sailed to Fort Monroe in Hampton Roads, Virginia. There, for the first and only time in our country’s history, a sitting president assumed direct control of armed forces to launch a military campaign. In Lincoln Takes Command, author Steve Norderdetails this exciting, little-known week in Civil War history. Lincoln recognized the strategic possibilities offered by Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan’s ongoing Peninsula Campaign and the importance of seizing Norfolk, Portsmouth, and the Gosport Navy Yard. For five days, the president spent time on sea and land, studied maps, spoke with military leaders, suggested actions, and issued direct orders to subordinate commanders. He helped set in motion many events, including the naval bombardment of a Confederate fort, the sailing of Union ships up the James River toward the enemy capital, an amphibious landing of Union soldiers followed by an overland march that expedited the capture of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and the navy yard, and the destruction of the Rebel ironclad CSS Virginia. The president returned to Washington in triumph, with some urging him to assume direct command of the nation’s field armies. The week discussed in Lincoln Takes Command has never been as heavily researched or told in such fine detail. The successes that crowned Lincoln’s short time in Hampton Roads offered him a better understanding of, and more confidence in, his ability to see what needed to be accomplished. This insight helped sustain him through the rest of the war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln, His Life and Times, Vol. 2 Both armies remained inactive until the'9th Of June when it was discovered that the rebel forces under Lee were leaving their position near Fredericksburg and moving northwest, through the valley of the Shenandoah. On the 13th the rebel General Ewell, with a heavy force, at tacked our advance post of seven thousand men at Win Chester under General Milroy, and not only compelled him to retreat, but pursued him so closely as to convert his retreat into a rout and on the 14th of June the rebel army began to cross the Potomac and advanced upon Hagerstown, Maryland, with the evident purpose of in vading Pennsylvania.
