Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln North and South unite to honor his memory and review the rugged grandeur of his personality, all forgetting the bitterness and hate engendered during the stirring days of the early sixties in the admiration of Lincoln - the man. It is not the purpose of the writer to detail the history of the times in which Lincoln played a prominent part, but simply to chronicle a few local happenings dealing with his visits to this city and his associations with Rushville people. The little local incidents of the career of any man who has figured prominently in the administration of his country's affairs cannot be devoid of interest, and in the case of Abraham Lincoln they are particularly so, as local personages actively participated in the scenes which we will here relate. It is our purpose to show how the life of Lincoln was connected in its varying stages with that of Rushville people. How in the corresponding periods of his intellectual development he was associated with local personages. This relation continued thru the span of Lincoln's life.
