Excerpt from Lincoln Group Papers: Twelve Addresses Delivered Before the Lincoln Group of Chicago on Varied Aspects of Abraham Lincoln's Life and Interests The wide-spread acceptance of Lincoln Group Papers as a worthy and outstanding contribution to Lincolniana has prompted the publication of a Second Series of twelve papers in this volume. That the interest in Lincoln is not confined to one spot in the country is shown by the authors of the papers. Chicago claims four, Peoria two, and one each in places as far apart as los Angeles, Detroit, Muncie, Indiana, Davenport, Iowa, and Petersburg and Danville, Illinois. The subjects discussed are as varied as the homes of the authors. Three papers treat of Lincoln's friends, two intimates, William H. Herndon and Ward H. Lamon, and a young friend who became a great admirer, Robert G. Ingersoll. Two papers treat of important events in Lincoln's life the debates with Douglas in 185 8, and the Gettysburg Address. The religious environment of his boyhood and the intel lectual influences surrounding him immediately after he left the parental roof are discussed in separate papers. Other topics are as varied as his personal finances, rise in politics from 185 4, influence upon the foreign policy of his administration, and the lessons of his life for the youth of today.
