Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and His Presidency, Vol. 2 of 2 Complying with the President's wishes, Buell and Halleck opened telegraphic communication with each other, but there was no hearty accord between them. Halleck disapproved Buell's plan of advancing on Bowling Green, and could not well spare him any help from Missouri. 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 Abraham Lincoln and His Presidency, Vol. 1 of 2 Before the meeting of the Republican N ational Con vention of 1860 I had undertaken, not of my own motion or at first willingly, to write a campaign biography of its nominee for the Presidency. I was confident that my subject would not be Mr. Seward, but had no presenti ment that the choice of the convention would be Abra ham Lincoln, whom I had then never met. In my first interview with him, soon after the adjournment of the convention (oi which I was a member), he earnestly and even sadly insisted that there was no adequate material for such a work as was intended, yet he received me very kindly, and showed no unusual reserve in talking of either his earlier or maturer life. As to both periods, he readily gave such facts as my inquiries invited or suggested; introduced me to friends with whom he had been on intimate terms for more than twenty years; and put me in the way of exploring newspaper files and legislative journals in the Illinois State library for biographic material.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2 of 2 The principle of this legislation had already been published to the country in a very fortunate way by General Butler. 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. Contraband underlay the Emancipation Pro clamation. 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 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. The movement created the most intense excitement throughout the country. President Lincoln issued a proclamation calling for one hundred thousand militia from the States most directly menaced, to serve for six months, and New York was summoned to send twenty thousand also. On the 27th the main body of the rebel army crossed the Potomac at Williamsport, and General Lee took up his head quarters at Hagerstown.

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.

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.

I was standing where I could see each one who came upon the platform, and I recognized among the number many of the nation's most distinguished citizens. While the multitude was gathering upon the platform and on the grounds, many famous bands contributed patriotic music, but the rain prevented the free and effective use of the fife and drum, at that time so essential to the fitting inspiration of such an assembly; and the sense of that lack lingered in the memory as an undefined yet real defect.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2: By Distinguished Men of His Time Upon the ground, whittling sticks, and heard me, throughout, with marked attention. Hurrying on to my appointments, I saw him then no more. I never shall forget his long, ungainly person, and plain, but even then sad and thoughtful features. He was but little known to the world, but his being the husband of my old friend of earlier days caused me to look with interest upon him. I ﬂatter myself that I sowed good seed in good ground, which, in the providence of God, produced in time good fruit. Joshua and James Speed, now famous for their associations with Lincoln, Kentuckians and natives of Jefferson County, Kentucky, were my schoolmates, and relatives of John Speed Smith, who married my eldest sister Eliza. A few years ago Joshua was in vited to deliver a lecture at Berea College, inomy county, upon Lincoln. This college, of which I and John G. Fee were the founders, is about fourteen miles from Richmond by the old buggy road. I heard Speed's lecture with great interest, and taking him in my carriage, drove him to my sister Smith's residence, about twelve miles north-east from Berea. On the route we naturally talked much of Lincoln, of which conversation I will give some account. Joshua Speed, the son of a wealthy farmer, quit Kentucky and set up a miscellaneous store in the capital of Illinois, then a'mere backwoods village. One day an awkward green stranger of great stature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
