Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stephen Arnold Douglas The ten years Of American history from 1850 to 1860 have a fascination second only to that of the four years which followed. Indeed, unless one has a taste for military science, it is a question whether the great war itself is more absorbing than the great debate that led up to it; whether even Gettysburg and Chickamauga, the March to the Sea, the Wilderness, Appomattox, are of more surpassing interest than the dramatic political changes, the downfall Of the Whig party, the swift rise and the equally swift submergence Of the know-nothing party, the birth of the Republican party, the disruption and overthrow Of the long-domi nant Democratic party, through which the.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Stephen A. Douglas I have derived this narrative mainly from orig inal sources. The biography written during his life time by his friend Sheahan, and that published two years after his death by his admirer, Flint, are chiefly drawn on for the brief account of his early life. The history of his career in Congress has been gathered from the Congressional Record; the account of Conventions from contemporary reports, and the Debates with Lincoln from the authorized publication. I have not consciously taken any liberty with any text quoted, except to omit superfluous words, which omissions are indicated by asterisks. I have not attempted to pronounce judgment on Douglas or his contemporaries, but to submit the evidence. Not those who write, but those who read', pass final judgment on the heroes of biography.

They have been written by one who agrees fully with Mr. Douglas in political views, and who, since the passage of the kansas-nebraska Act, has been engaged in maintaining before the people of Illinois the wisdom, justice, and expediency of the policy of the Democratic party upon the question of Slavery in the Ter ritories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stephen A. Douglas This is the story of an interesting man who lived in an interesting and fateful time. By his contemporaries Douglas was thought to stand even-shouldered with the greatest of the men with whom he was associated. Those of the succeeding generation ranked him far below his deserts. He was in part the sport of forces that no man could control or much influence, and in part himself a force that helped to mould the destiny of the nation. The author has striven to tell the truth, and to give such interpretations as seemed necessary to help the reader to reach a just verdict concerning one of the most remarkable men whom the country has produced. It is hoped that they are free from the defect that marks so many interpretations, namely over-ingenuity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stephen a Douglas: A Study in American Politics To describe the career of a man who is now chiefly remembered as the rival of Abraham Lincoln, must seem to many minds a superfluous, if not invidious, undertaking. The present generation is prone to for get that when the rivals met ih joint debate fifty years ago, on the prairies of Illinois, it was Senator Douglas, and not Mr. Lincoln, who was the cynosure of all oh serving eyes. Time has steadily lessened the prestige of the great Democratic leader, and just as steadily enhanced the fame of his Republican Opponent. The following pages have been written, not as a vindication, but as an interpretation of a personality whose life spans the controversial epoch before the Civil War. It is due to the chance reader to state that the writer was born in a New England home, and bred in an anti-slavery atmosphere where the political creed of Douglas could not thrive. If this book reveals a somewhat less sectional outlook than this personal allusion suggests, the credit must be given to those generous friends in the great Middle West, who have helped the writer to interpret the spirit of that region which gave both Douglas and Lincoln to the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autobiography of Stephen A. Douglas: Reprinted From the Journal of the Illinois Stat Historical Society, October, 1912 While collecting material for a biographical study of Stephen Arnold Douglas, Judge Robert M. Douglas of North Carolina, a son, kindly loaned me this little autobiography. Added to the story as told me personally by the late Colonel John Dement and the sketch published years ago in Harper's Monthly Magazine by Daniel Roberts, we now are enabled for the first time to secure a correct knowledge of the early life of Douglas. When Stephen A. Douglas kissed his mother good bye at the homestead gate near Canandaigua, New York, her last inquiry was: "And when shall you come home to visit us, my son?" "On my way to Congress, mother," he answered. And so the first visit was to be made ten years afterwards, almost to a day. Douglas started westward determined to make for himself a political career. Just what point he should seek was undetermined; so at Cleveland, he tarried with relatives for the purpose of getting his bearings. With the personal manipulation of those bearings, Douglas had so little to do that it might be said he literally drifted until circumstances, none of them propitious, landed him, sick, footsore from his ten mile walk from Exeter, at the end of a raw day of November, in the little village of Winchester, then in the county of Morgan, in the State of Illinois. He was so worn by his long sickness that he could scarcely stagger along the road, yet he walked bravely forward with but a shilling in money as the total of his worldly possessions. He presented his boyish but courageous face to the landlord and asked for a credit in board until he could secure pupils enough to warrant his remaining in Winchester. Like the western tavern keeper of his time, that one was charmed by the manly little chap who requested it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stephen Arnold Douglas, Chicagoan and Patriot: An Address Delivered at the Chicago Historical Society, June 2, 1961 One hundred years ago today thousands OF chicagoans were saddened by the knowledge that Stephen A. Douglas was dying. Knots Of people gathered in front of the newspaper Offices for the latest bulletins; others talked with subdued voices in the lobby Of the Tremont House, where the United States Senator from Illinois struggled for life. Shortly after nine O'clock the following morning, June 3, 186 o, the Court House bell began to toll. No one needed to ask the reason. All knew that the Little Giant, only forty eight years Of age, had died. Few men in American history have stirred the emotions of the people as did Stephen A. Douglas. It was not merely that he was high placed - the leader of his party in the Senate and in the Union, and only a few months earlier a formidable con tender for the presidency. His appeal came equally from per sonal qualities - from his courage, his pugnacity, and that m definable something we call magnetism. His hold over people is illustrated by an experience which I heard the late Albert J. Beveridge relate. When Beveridge was writing his life Of Lincoln he interviewed an elderly man who had attended one of the lincoln-douglas debates. Some allusion led Beveridge to remark: I take it that you were a Douglas man. The Old man's eyes flashed. By God, Sir, I am a Douglas man!
