A two volume set of clippings, reprints, postcards, and articles about Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) and his family. Concentrates primarily on his ancestors and immediate family, and on his childhood, adolescence and adulthood in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. Includes copies of articles published by the Hardin County Historical Society, the periodicals Lincoln herald and Lincoln lore, and chapters from the books The women Lincoln loved by William Eleazar Barton (Indianapolis : Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1927) and Leaders in making America by Wilbur F. Gordy (New York : C. Scribner's & Sons, 1923).
Established in November 1872, Fort Abraham Lincoln was part of a larger complex of military forts throughout the United States. Named in memory of President Lincoln, the fort protected railroad workers as they continued westward construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Famous figures associated with the fort include George Custer; his Arikara scout Bloody Knife; and individuals from the Oceti Sakowin, what in the 19th century was called the Great Sioux Nation, including Rain-in-the-Face, Long Soldier, and Thunder Hawk. In the late 1870s, the fort also served as a place for Nez Perce POWs. In 1891, the fort was decommissioned. The nonprofit Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation spearheaded reconstruction in the 1980s. Several earth lodges from On-A-Slant were also built, and world-class interpretive programming was developed.
950 photos present a multi-faceted look at Abraham Lincoln and how society still reveres him more than 100 years after his death. Includes artifacts, pictures, coins, and much more.
The author's unique use of more than 250 postcards tells the life of Lincoln from his childhood and young adulthood to becoming a businessman, soldier, surveyor, lawyer, politician, and eventually president. The final chapters are devoted to his many portraits, the legacy of his words, and many monuments and memorials across America.
