Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lincoln Centenary: Program of the National Centenary Celebration Together With the Report of the Executive Committee of the Lincoln Farm Association and Other Matters in Connection With the Lincoln Birthplace Memorial It is doubtful if at any time since the Declaration of American Independence there has been a movement which parallels the approaching celebration of the Lincoln Centenary; not because it is more widely spread, more general, more sincere, than any other ex pression of national feeling; but because of its abso lute spontaneity. There have been no series of proclamations, no central national body, no organized or concerted movement on the part' of o cialdom or press; yet in tens of thousands of Cities and towns throughout the Union we find that churches, schools, political and social organizations, and the people in general, moved by a common love and reverence, are to pay tribute to the memory of a dead hero. Among these thousands of municipal, town, and vil lage Observances of the day, to what great center of population shall we look for the chief feature - the one greatest of all gatherings, made notable by the attendance of the President of the United States - the official tribute of the government itself, in the person of its Chief Magistrate? New York, the metropolis, would have claimed this honor; Chicago would have welcomed it; Springfield urged its claims; Philadel phia, Boston, St. Louis, and a score of other cities, yielding to none in their loyalty and reverence for Lincoln's memory, might well be the scene of that celebration. Yet to none of these will the thought of the nation turn, that day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Memorial: Hodgenville, Kentucky, "the Birthplace of Lincoln" The first direct reference to the Lincoln cabin which we find in court documents is in a deed of conveyance made on September 27, 1852. One line in the survey refers to the spring where the said Horne now lives. Horne was evidently dwelling in the Lincoln cabin. The names of those who owned this cabin before Henry B. Horne, and who may have had children born in the same cabin in which Lincoln was born are to be found in the deed books of Hardin and larue Counties. Their names are as follows: William Duckworth, George Burkhart, Henry Thomas, John Gash, Henry Brothers, Charles F. Huss, William Huss, and William J. Thomas. Mr. Horne sold the cabin to Royal P. Hankla, who many years later disposed of it and the surrounding acres to Richard Creal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln and the Forge of National Memory written by Barry Schwartz and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln has long dominated the pantheon of American presidents. From his lavish memorial in Washington and immortalization on Mount Rushmore, one might assume he was a national hero rather than a controversial president who came close to losing his 1864 bid for reelection. In Abraham Lincoln and the Forge of National Memory, Barry Schwartz aims at these contradictions in his study of Lincoln's reputation, from the president's death through the industrial revolution to his apotheosis during the Progressive Era and First World War. Schwartz draws on a wide array of materials—painting and sculpture, popular magazines and school textbooks, newspapers and oratory—to examine the role that Lincoln's memory has played in American life. He explains, for example, how dramatic funeral rites elevated Lincoln's reputation even while funeral eulogists questioned his presidential actions, and how his reputation diminished and grew over the next four decades. Schwartz links transformations of Lincoln's image to changes in the society. Commemorating Lincoln helped Americans to think about their country's development from a rural republic to an industrial democracy and to articulate the way economic and political reform, military power, ethnic and race relations, and nationalism enhanced their conception of themselves as one people. Lincoln's memory assumed a double aspect of "mirror" and "lamp," acting at once as a reflection of the nation's concerns and an illumination of its ideals, and Schwartz offers a fascinating view of these two functions as they were realized in the commemorative symbols of an ever-widening circle of ethnic, religious, political, and regional communities. The first part of a study that will continue through the present, Abraham Lincoln and the Forge of National Memory is the story of how America has shaped its past selectively and imaginatively around images rooted in a real person whose character and achievements helped shape his country's future.

Download or read book Lincoln in American Memory written by Merrill D. Peterson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995-06-01 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lincoln's death, like his life, was an event of epic proportions. When the president was struck down at his moment of triumph, writes Merrill Peterson, "sorrow--indescribable sorrow" swept the nation. After lying in state in Washington, Lincoln's body was carried by a special funeral train to Springfield, Illinois, stopping in major cities along the way; perhaps a million people viewed the remains as memorial orations rang out and the world chorused its sincere condolences. It was the apotheosis of the martyred President--the beginning of the transformation of a man into a mythic hero. In Lincoln in American Memory, historian Merrill Peterson provides a fascinating history of Lincoln's place in the American imagination from the hour of his death to the present. In tracing the changing image of Lincoln through time, this wide-ranging account offers insight into the evolution and struggles of American politics and society--and into the character of Lincoln himself. Westerners, Easterners, even Southerners were caught up in the idealization of the late President, reshaping his memory and laying claim to his mantle, as his widow, son, memorial builders, and memorabilia collectors fought over his visible legacy. Peterson also looks at the complex responses of blacks to the memory of Lincoln, as they moved from exultation at the end of slavery to the harsh reality of free life amid deep poverty and segregation; at more than one memorial event for the great emancipator, the author notes, blacks were excluded. He makes an engaging examination of the flood of reminiscences and biographies, from Lincoln's old law partner William H. Herndon to Carl Sandburg and beyond. Serious historians were late in coming to the topic; for decades the myth-makers sought to shape the image of the hero President to suit their own agendas. He was made a voice of prohibition, a saloon-keeper, an infidel, a devout Christian, the first Bull Moose Progressive, a military blunderer and (after the First World War) a military genius, a white supremacist (according to D.W. Griffith and other Southern admirers), and a touchstone for the civil rights movement. Through it all, Peterson traces five principal images of Lincoln: the savior of the Union, the great emancipator, man of the people, first American, and self-made man. In identifying these archetypes, he tells us much not only of Lincoln but of our own identity as a people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln in Indiana They have maintained certain family names, such as Mordecai, Joseph, Thomas and Benjamin, but there has never been an Abraham among them, and it is highly probable that there never will be. It should be stated, however, that one son of Warden, who served in the Union army during the Civil war, is called Abe, not by the family, but by his school mates and others merely as a nickname. During the Civil war when there were those in this section of the State accustomed to indulge in caustic criticism of the administration at Washington in conducting the war and of Mr. Lincoln in particular, calling him the Black Abolitionist.

Book excerpt: Mystic Chords of Memory "Illustrated with hundreds of well-chosen anecdotes and minute observations . . . Kammen is a demon researcher who seems to have mined his nuggets from the entire corpus of American cultural history . . . insightful and sardonic." —Washington Post Book World In this ground-breaking, panoramic work of American cultural history, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Machine That Would Go of Itself examines a central paradox of our national identity How did "the land of the future" acquire a past? And to what extent has our collective memory of that past—as embodied in our traditions—have been distorted, or even manufactured? Ranging from John Adams to Ronald Reagan, from the origins of Independence Day celebrations to the controversies surrounding the Vietnam War Memorial, from the Daughters of the American Revolution to immigrant associations, and filled with incisive analyses of such phenonema as Americana and its collectors, "historic" villages and Disneyland, Mystic Chords of Memory is a brilliant, immensely readable, and enormously important book. "Fascinating . . . a subtle and teeming narrative . . . masterly." —Time "This is a big, ambitious book, and Kammen pulls it off admirably. . . . [He] brings a prodigious mind and much scholarly rigor to his task . . . an importnat book—and a revealing look at how Americans look at themselves." —Milwaukee Journal

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Mr. President and Gentlemen - As I am informed, the Cherry Tree Club meets once each year to commemorate the birthday of the Father of his Country. Your club is composed almost entirely of'young men, most of whom were born since the close of the Civil War, and few, if any, of you were old enough at that time to have any personal recollection of the events that marked the most tragic period in the history of the Republic. I am asked to portray the character of the man who was not only the central figure in that Titanic struggle, but whose memory is, and will ever be, enshrined in the hearts of all' liberty-loving people throughout the habitable globe. May I not hope that you will bear with me if I shall attempt more than a brief pass ing tribute to the character of this remarkable man. May I not be indulged in an endeavor to quicken in your minds the meaning of that great epoch in our history, while bring ing to your attention some of the conspicuous characteristics of the man about whom I am to speak, and some of the events connected with which he will always be the one prominent personality. In devotion to his country; in breadth of statesman ship; in exalted character; in blameless private life, the name of Abraham Lincoln will grow brighter with the ages - the synonym of true greatness - the harbinger of that period to which we all look, of peace on earth, good will to man. In his early days he struck his roots deep down into the common soil of the earth, and in his latest years his head towered and shone among the stars!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Farm Almanac: 1909 Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky February 12th, 1809. He was a farmer's boy. He was raised at the plow handles and his hardy frame and good constitution were inheritances of a long line of farmer ancestors. Lin coln loved farmers; he regarded them as the backbone of the nation; to him they were the plain people on whom the destiny of the nation rests. As he wittily said: God must have loved the 'plain people, ' he made so. Many of them. In no hearts is the memory of Abraham Lincoln more revered than in the hearts of the farmers of America. He has always seemed one of themselves, and was loved accordingly. While his later professional life took him from the farm and into other fields, still his heart was always near the soil. He knew about farming as one who had served an apprenticeship and many of his stories used to illustrate some points in his legal argu ments were taken from the experiences of his early days. As the motto for this Almanac and as a guidance for the people of America, we suggest this immortal quotation from Lincoln's Second Inaugural address.
