Abe Lincoln`s Anecdotes And Stories: A Collection Of The Best Stories Told By Lincoln Which Made Him Famous As America`S Best Story Teller Compiled By, Lincoln Abraham
Описание: This day-by-day account of Abraham Lincoln's last six weeks of life covers a period of extraordinary events, not only for the president himself but for the fate of the nation. From March 4 to April 15, 1865--a momentous time for the nation--Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address, supervised climatic battles leading up to the end of the Civil War, learned that Robert E. Lee had surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, and finally was killed by assassin John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre. Weaving an arresting narrative around the historical facts, historian David Alan Johnson brings to life the president's daily routine, as he guided the country through one of the most tumultuous periods of American history. The reader follows the president as he greets visitors at the inaugural ball, asks abolitionist Frederick Douglass's opinion of the inaugural address, confers with Generals Grant and Sherman on the final stages of the war, visits a field hospital for wounded outside City Point, Virginia, and attempts to calm his high-strung wife Mary, who appears on the verge of nervous collapse. We read excerpts from press reviews of Lincoln's second inaugural address, learn that Mrs. Lincoln's ball gown created a sensation, and are given eye-witness accounts of the celebrations and drunken revelry that broke out in Washington when the end of the war was announced. This engagingly written narrative history of a short but extremely important span of days vividly depicts the actions and thoughts of one of our greatest presidents during a time of national emergency.

Описание: Winner of the Lincoln Prize
Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Abraham Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president.
On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago.
When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry.
Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires.
It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union and winning the war.
We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes with incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, and his raucous cabinet.
He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, and in the case of Seward, finds a loyal and crucial friend to see him through.
This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history.

Описание:
If you think Abraham Lincoln was our greatest president, think again The truth is that unless you're a dictator, a socialist, a racist, a warmonger, an outlaw, a sexist, or a left-wing progressive, you won't find much about him that's admirable. Our 19th-Century American ancestors would certainly have agreed with this assessment. This is why, after all, they voted him the worst U.S. president up until that time, and it's why even his own party members and military officers called him a "tyrant," "swindler," "monster," "buffoon," "butcher," "fiend," the "original gorilla," "filthy story-teller," "robber," "braggart," "liar," "usurper," "ignoramus," "scoundrel," "well-meaning baboon," and "that damned idiot in the White House "
Naturally, the Lincoln-loving, Liberal controlled media and educational system would rather you not know any of this. But for those who are interested in the truth, award-winning Southern author, historian, and Lincoln scholar Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook has written The Great Impersonator 99 Reasons to Dislike Abraham Lincoln. Here, among Seabrook's 99 well researched footnoted entries, you will find stunning little known facts about our sixteenth chief executive, facts that have been buried for 150 years beneath a mountain of Northern mythology.
Why were they concealed? Because exposing the real man exposes the truth that his Liberal devotees are still trying so hard to suppress: President Lincoln waged an illegal war on the Constitution and states' rights; invaded a legally formed foreign country (the Confederacy) that only wished to be left alone; committed countless brutal crimes against both unarmed American citizens and his own soldiers; and campaigned his entire life to have all American blacks "sent back to Africa, to their own native land," as he so inelegantly put it. Not familiar with any of this? Now you know why Colonel Seabrook rightly calls him, not the Great Emancipator, but the Great Impersonator
Get the inside scoop on the authentic Abraham Lincoln in this brief but important work on the big government Liberal who intentionally surrounded himself with socialists, Marxists, communists, gangsters, anti-abolitionists, and fellow white supremacists and separatists. Discover the real reason he was called "Honest Abe," why he referred to all non-whites as "inferior races," and why when it came to blacks, former Northern slave Frederick Douglass said that Lincoln was missing "the genuine spark of humanity."
An attractive, unique, affordable, and tourist-friendly work that will appeal to both Civil War buffs and historical educators alike, The Great Impersonator 99 Reasons to Dislike Abraham Lincoln is the perfect addition to any retail outlet, including not only bookstores, but Civil War sites, historic houses, and museum gift stores. Available in paperback and hardcover.
Seabrook's other titles include: Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner ; Confederate Monuments: Why Every American Should Honor Confederate Soldiers and Their Memorials; The Ultimate Civil War Quiz Book; The Great Yankee Coverup: What the North Doesn't Want You to Know About Lincoln's War; Lincoln's War: The Real Cause, the Real Winner, the Real Loser; Confederate Flag Facts: What Every American Should Know About Dixie's Southern Cross; Women in Gray: A Tribute to the Ladies Who Supported the Southern Confederacy; Victorian Confederate Poetry.
