Excerpt from Stephen A. Douglas This is the story of an interesting man who lived in an interesting and fateful time. By his contemporaries Douglas was thought to stand even-shouldered with the greatest of the men with whom he was associated. Those of the succeeding generation ranked him far below his deserts. He was in part the sport of forces that no man could control or much influence, and in part himself a force that helped to mould the destiny of the nation. The author has striven to tell the truth, and to give such interpretations as seemed necessary to help the reader to reach a just verdict concerning one of the most remarkable men whom the country has produced. It is hoped that they are free from the defect that marks so many interpretations, namely over-ingenuity. The author's indebtedness, which is cheerfully acknowledged, will appear on almost every page. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Life of Stephen A. Douglas It is due to candor to state that these pages have been prepared without having been submitted to Mr. Douglas, who, if he read them at all, will do so for the first time after the issue of the book. They have been written by one who agrees fully with Mr. Douglas in political views, and who, since the passage of the kansas-nebraska Act, has been engaged in maintaining before the people of Illinois the wisdom, justice, and expediency of the policy of the Democratic party upon the question of Slavery in the Ter ritories. With these words of explanation the book is submitted to those who may choose to read it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Life of Stephen A. Douglas I have derived this narrative mainly from orig inal sources. The biography written during his life time by his friend Sheahan, and that published two years after his death by his admirer, Flint, are chiefly drawn on for the brief account of his early life. The history of his career in Congress has been gathered from the Congressional Record; the account of Conventions from contemporary reports, and the Debates with Lincoln from the authorized publication. I have not consciously taken any liberty with any text quoted, except to omit superfluous words, which omissions are indicated by asterisks. I have not attempted to pronounce judgment on Douglas or his contemporaries, but to submit the evidence. Not those who write, but those who read', pass final judgment on the heroes of biography.

Excerpt from Stephen A. Douglas: His Life, Public Services, Speeches and Patriotism Those who remember the potentiality of Senator Douglas, and who have a proper conception of his char acter and statesmanship, are rapidly passing away. Because of this the publishers Wished to have one whose memory goes back to those ante bellum times, and who knew both Lincoln and Douglas, to give some of his recollections of the stirring events in which they acted, and so the author has consented to carry into execution the work he has long contemplated. He Will be more than satisfied if he has succeeded in placmg the great Senator before the reader as he deserves.

Excerpt from Stephen a Douglas: A Study in American Politics To describe the career of a man who is now chiefly remembered as the rival of Abraham Lincoln, must seem to many minds a superfluous, if not invidious, undertaking. The present generation is prone to for get that when the rivals met ih joint debate fifty years ago, on the prairies of Illinois, it was Senator Douglas, and not Mr. Lincoln, who was the cynosure of all oh serving eyes. Time has steadily lessened the prestige of the great Democratic leader, and just as steadily enhanced the fame of his Republican Opponent. The following pages have been written, not as a vindication, but as an interpretation of a personality whose life spans the controversial epoch before the Civil War. It is due to the chance reader to state that the writer was born in a New England home, and bred in an anti-slavery atmosphere where the political creed of Douglas could not thrive. If this book reveals a somewhat less sectional outlook than this personal allusion suggests, the credit must be given to those generous friends in the great Middle West, who have helped the writer to interpret the spirit of that region which gave both Douglas and Lincoln to the nation.

Excerpt from Stephen Arnold Douglas The ten years Of American history from 1850 to 1860 have a fascination second only to that of the four years which followed. Indeed, unless one has a taste for military science, it is a question whether the great war itself is more absorbing than the great debate that led up to it; whether even Gettysburg and Chickamauga, the March to the Sea, the Wilderness, Appomattox, are of more surpassing interest than the dramatic political changes, the downfall Of the Whig party, the swift rise and the equally swift submergence Of the know-nothing party, the birth of the Republican party, the disruption and overthrow Of the long-domi nant Democratic party, through which the.

Excerpt from Life of Stephen A. Douglas: To Which Are Added His Speeches and Reports The occurrences of the past two years have served as an apocalypse to the most of us; and in the light of this new revelation the exciting events associated with much of the Congressional legisla tion of the past twenty years beget far other feelings than formerly were aroused. We are, necessarily, more charitable in our judg ments of our political opponents of other days. A closer acquaint ance with many of them has tended to materially change the Opinions we once honestly entertained of such. Besides - saddest occurrence that can befal a trustful spirit l - from many with whom we ever have acted, whose names we fondly deemed towers of strength, the mask has fallen, and we have been forced to see them, not as we thought them - not as we would have seen them - but as they are - our party's and - what is higher far than party - our country's direst foes. With these changed and still changing views, it cannot be unde sirable to pass the leading political events of those years again and again in review. There are lessons to be gleaned from them which we have not even yet fully learned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
