Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2 of 2 The principle of this legislation had already been published to the country in a very fortunate way by General Butler. In May, 1861, being in com mand at Fortress Monroe, he had refused, under instructions from Cameron, to return three fugi tive slaves to their rebel owner, . And he had in geniously put his refusal on the ground that they were contraband of war. The phrase instantly became popular. General Butler says that, as a lawyer, [he] was never very proud of it; but technical inaccuracy does not hurt the force of an epigram which expresses a sound principle. Contraband underlay the Emancipation Pro clamation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and His Presidency, Vol. 2 of 2 Complying with the President's wishes, Buell and Halleck opened telegraphic communication with each other, but there was no hearty accord between them. Halleck disapproved Buell's plan of advancing on Bowling Green, and could not well spare him any help from Missouri. Buell wanted gunboats and 501 diers sent up the Tennessee and the Cumberland, to attack the center of the line from Columbus to Bowling Green, on which the great power of the rebellion in the \vest was arrayed, and said whatever is done should be done speedily - within a few days.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2 of 2: A New Portrait I had hardly begun the study of Abraham Lincoln when I found periods of his life entirely unaccounted for among the documents published in the standard editions of his works. I found a great many lapses, omissions of comment on questions of momentous import, questions which I felt he must have considered, and about which he must have spoken. Every new discovery began to fill these gaps and explained his conduct in certain situations, and made futile any charge that he was at any time silent on the important questions of the hour.

Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 3 Lincoln entertained sanguine hopes that Lee's army would never be permitted to recross the Potomac, and its destruction, he believed, would bring the war to a close. It seems to have been quite within the power of General Meade to annihilate the enemy that he had so signally defeated at Gettysburg. He had a much larger force, and abundant supplies. Lee's three days fight had nearly exhansted his ammunition, and when he reached the Potomac he had the swollen waters of that river in his front, with no means of crossing his artillery, and another defeat must have caused the surrender of his whole army. But Meade allowed him to collect lumber from canal boats and ruined wooden houses, to construct- a bridge and cross the river. On the 14th of July, Meade telegraphed to Halleck The enemy are all across the Potomac. It would seem as though Meade thought his duty was performed when he drove the enemy back to Virginia, forgetting that Virginia was as much a part of the republic as Pennsylvania. He displayed so little enterprise that Lee thought it safe to send Longstreet to Tennessee, to the aid of Bragg against Rosecrans. On September roth and zoth, was fought the battle Of Chickamauga, in which the gallant Thomas, commanding the center of Rosecrans's army, firmly withstood and beat back the rebels under Bragg. He did this after the rebels had turned the Union right, and Rosecrans had been driven from the field. Thomas, the loyal Virginian, by his heroism and good conduct on this occasion saved the army and acquired the name of the Rock Of Chickamauga. Garfield, chief of staff Of Rosecrans, especially distinguished himself in this battle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2 of 2: The True Story of a Great Life As he entered the trial, relates one of his col leagues at the bar, * where most lawyers would ob ject he would say he reckoned it would be fair to let this in, or that; and sometimes, when his adver sary could not quite prove what Lincoln knew to be the'truth, he 'reckoned it would be fair to admit the truth to be so-and-so. When he did object to the court, and when he heard his objections an swered, he would often say, Well, I reckon I must be wrong.' Now, about the time he had practised this three-fourths through the case, if his adversary didn't understand him, he would wake up in a few minutes learning that he had feared the Greeks too late, and find himself beaten. He was wise as a serpent in the trial of a cause, but I have had too many scares from his blows to certify that he was harmless as a dove. When the whole thing was unravelled, the adversary would begin to see that what he was so blandly giving away was simply what he couldn't get and keep. By giving away six points and carrying the seventh he carried his case, and the whole case hanging on the seventh, he traded away everything which would give him the least aid in carrying that. Any man who took Lincoln for a simple-minded man would very soon wake up with his back in a ditch. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
