Table of Contents
Lincoln, God's best gift to America! / by Dr. Geo. L. Knapp.
Unpublished diary of Lincoln's navy secretary: private records of Gideon Welles give much inside history, intimate accounts of cabinet meetings and the personal bickerings of the leaders of the nation.
Lincoln first talked of freedom of slaves riding to a funeral, mentioned subject to Welles and Seward, who were in the carriage, and asked their opinion.
Four women who helped mold Lincoln's character: filled with high aim by unlettered love of his "angel mother," born in log cabin and taken into wilderness as a child, he early was inured to hardship and toil.
Girl who first won heart died ere he could claim her at altar, "I'll wed none but a president," his bride had vowed, bridegroom quailed when fateful day came, but married later.
Roosevelt's estimate of Lincoln / by Theodore Roosevelt in American Review of Reviews.
The love in Lincoln's nature / by president-elect William H. Taft in Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Lincoln wisdom combined with wit in anecdotes: Grant's canal efforts compared to "fizzle," once forcibly ejected cashiered Army officer who made charge of injustice when he refused to act.
Loud voiced youth is compared to whistle, praised McClellan as an admirable engineer but deplored his talent for the management of stationary engines.
Lincoln was a Christian / by Rev. Edgar de Witt Jones.
Lincoln a military genius, though man of peace: dissension on all sides faced the president-elect, South an arrogant and martial aristocracy, North seamed, none knew how deep, by discordant factions.
Rock against self-seeking intrigues by his generals, patiently tried man after man until found Grant's iron will and dogged pertinacity.
Lincoln, the great commoner / by Edwin Markham.
Lincoln's assassination greatest of tragedies: staged by an actor in theater to mimic the death of Caesar.
Conspiracy to kidnap president a failure, but murder succeeds.
Lincoln's autobiography in his own handwriting [illustration].
Eyewitness story of Lincoln-Douglas debate: dues of giant minds before vast crowds graphically depicted, polished Senator master of diction, but his opponent the more convincing.
One question a trap that gave presidency to the rail splitter, Douglas alienates South and wins toga, but loses higher position.
Big celebration in Denver.
Boyhood lesson in duty.
A gallery of Lincoln likenesses.
