Excerpt from Abraham LincolnLincoln visited Rushville on several occasions, and especially is it noted that these visits, separated bya lapse of years, marked distinct epochs in the develop ment of his powers and his illustrious career. In viewing separately the six or seven visits of Lincoln to Rushville it is not possible to always give exact dates, for the personal details of his early visits are forever lost and the men who took an active part in affairs are gone, and some of the incidents recorded may have passed from the realm of fact into fiction for aught we know.It does not appear that any of these hardy old pioneers, who lived the stirring life of hardship, ever anticipated Lin coln's place in history. They regarded him as a jovial, sociable companion, whose success in politics up to the time of the lincoln-douglas debate was no more illustrious than that of the favorite sons of Schuyler.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
