Excerpt from Personal Traits of Abraham Lincoln When my father began collecting material to be used in his joint work with John Hay, "Abraham Lincoln: A History," he put certain things into an envelope marked "Personal Traits," meaning to make a chapter with that heading. As the work grew the items gathered under that head overflowed from one envelope into many; and at the same time it became manifest that a chapter with such a title would be out of place. Incidents illustrating Mr. Lincoln's personal traits found their rightful place elsewhere; and the authors argued that if the work as a whole did not reflect his character, it was labor lost.

An intimate look at the personal character and personality traits of one of America's most respected men. Included are Lincoln's attitude and actions regarding handling of money, work, those in authority, forgiveness, opponents, discipline of colleagues, wife and children, and humility in the use of great public power. The observer and commentator is really the author's father, who over a five-year period, worked hand-in-glove with not only the president, but also the Lincoln family, and who was able to observe Lincoln in nearly all circumstances, social and political. This is a work of "extraordinary insight" into a great man.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... PRESIDENT LINCOLN, HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN LINCOLN was an unusually affectionate and indulgent father. A paragraph in a letter to his friend Speed shows that he and his wife had the experiences and emotions common to proud parents. We have another boy, born the 10th of March. He is very much such a child as Bob was at his age, rather of a longer order. Bob is " short and low," and I expect always will be. He talks very plainly -- almost as plainly as anybody. He is quite smart enough. I sometimes fear that he is one of the little rare-ripe sort that are smarter at about five than ever after. He has a great deal of that sort of mischief that is the offspring of such animal spirits. Since I began this letter, a messenger came to tell me Bob was lost; but by the time I reached the house his mother had found him and had him whipped, and by now, very likely, he is run away again. The second child died in infancy, but two others were born to them, both boys. Their father liked to have them with him, even when to others they appeared decidedly troublesome. If they swarmed too persistently over his person he brushed them away like gnats, but he never turned them out of the room or reproved them, except in the mildest manner. When they began to go to school he studied with them. One of his Springfield neighbors, recalling how constantly they were in his company, tells of being attracted to the door one day by hearing children cry. He saw Mr. Lincoln striding by with two of his sons, both wailing loudly. "Why, what is the matter with the boys?" he asked. "Just what is the matter with the whole world," was the answer. "I've got three walnuts, and each wants two." "Bob," the eldest, showed a grasp of principles and property rights in dealing with his...

Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln This work - "The Life of Abraham Lincoln" - was completed only a few days before the death of the distinguished author, the Hon. Isaac N. Arnold. He did not live to oversee its publication. That was entrusted to competent and friendly hands; and the work, with its chapter heads and its full and elaborate index, is herewith presented to an indulgent public. Few had known Mr. Lincoln better than had Mr. Arnold, and no man was more familiar with his life or had studied more profoundly his personal and political character, or his public career. They had been personal friends for a quarter of a century. They were much together in the courts and often associated in the trial of causes, and had been opposing counsel in important litigation. Their long acquaintance and association had made them to know each other well and had engendered mutual respect and mutual regard. From the time that Mr. Arnold entered Congress, at the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion, he became one of the most trusted advisers of Mr. Lincoln, and few men outside of the Cabinet were more frequently consulted by him in important matters.

Excerpt from The Lincoln Museum: A Memorial to the Human Qualities of Abraham Lincoln An intimate picture of the personal life of Mr. Lincoln is presented by the Lincoln Museum in Washington, D. C. It was established by Congress for the benefit and inspira tion of the American people and has two close associations with the life of the martyred leader. First, there is the museum building. Formerly the Ford Theater, it was here that John Wilkes Booth played the role of assassin in the greatest tragedy of American history. The second close association with the life of President Lin coln lies in the relics contained in the museum. Compris ing the famous Oldroyd Collection, these exhibits recall intimate episodes in the secular and political career of Lin coln the man. They represent the life work of Osborn H. Oldroyd, who for more than sixty years was a collector of Lincoln relics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Reminiscences About Abraham Lincoln In the dawn of the 20th century, looking backward through the vista of time, I recall my first knowledge of Lincoln. Early in the forties, my father, then a resident of the state of Indiana, had correspondence with him pertaining to business of the anti - slavery cause, in which my father was a zealous worker; and previous to this Lincoln had declare-d his opposition to slavery and its extension, basing his opinion on facts experienced in the South where he had been reared. Thus I came to know something of his individual character and sterling qualities of mind and heart prior to meeting him.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and Boston Corbett: With Personal Recollections of Each A recent imperfect brochure Of mine relating to Boston Corbett, who shot John Wilkes Booth, the assassinator Of President Lincoln, has brought requests for more Of the his tory Of this unique character. Its study forces us to link it with the death Of Lincoln, the end Of Booth and the capture Of Jefferson Davis, the inspiring angel Of Booth on his last mission. The recording Of real personal recollections assists in making genuine history, and furnishes a flavor delightful to the public taste. I will present some personal items about Lincoln and Corbett, and testimony from Official records - that we may see the characteristics of the two men, and then by an analysis Of other facts get a correct view Of the tragic end Of Booth, and Of his incentives to his mad career. We will examine the exciting and singular Kansas life Of Corbett. Bringing the truth out Of the many versions relating to the capture Of Jefferson Davis, we shall find that the ridiculous stories, published by the northern press, Of his fleeing in his wife's dress and crinoline, emanated in the fer tile brain Of the General commanding the raid into Alabama and Georgia, and had no foundation in fact. We can afford to bear honest testimony even at this late date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
