This history of President Lincoln's early life details the law partners he worked with prior to his election to high office, and how his practice took on and were retained for legal cases.
Published in 1930, following the discovery of new, hitherto unseen material concerning Lincoln's early life as a lawyer, this short yet insightful account contains several correspondences. These demonstrate the sound and logical mind of Lincoln and his colleagues, the courtesy shown to the court and to clients, and the high standards of professionalism to which Abraham Lincoln consistently subscribed.
The reputation and value of Lincoln's law practices are reflected in the long list of cases for which his services were retained. It is clear that via positive word of mouth in the business communities of Illinois; the attorneys were sought-after. Particular attention is given to Lincoln's partner Ward Hill Lamon, a heavy-set lawyer who would later serve as President Lincoln's bodyguard, who was one of the earliest partners Lincoln had.
Even the office boys and assistants at Lincoln's small law firm would go onto achieve success. One Henry C. Whitney went on to become a government surveyor, and his recollections of Lincoln were to become a useful source for later historians. It is shown that Abe Lincoln had a fondness for the apprentices he took in his employ; in future years, he would personally assist their families as additional thanks for their diligent service.
Описание: Those who seek to understand the character and achievement of Abraham Lincoln must begin with a study of the mans honesty. At the base of his nature, in the tap-root and very fiber of his being, pulsed a fidelity to truth, whether of thought or of deed, peculiar to itself. Lincoln was a poor boy growing up in a remote area. His mother died when he was young. With no formal schooling available to him, the young Lincoln set out to shape his own character.

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.
