Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of Abraham Lincoln: Or the Journey From the Log Cabin to the White House During the summer of 1891 "The Abraham Lincoln Log Cabin Association" of which I was president, elected Mrs. Eleanor Gridley as secretary and literary editor of the organization. She was sent into Coles County, Ills., where the Lincoln family lived, for the purpose of collecting Lincoln relics and of obtaining such authentic and historical facts as might be gathered from relatives, neighbors and associates of the martyred President. During her stay there she boarded with Mr. John Hall, a cousin of Abraham Lincoln, and at that time owner of the Lincoln homestead. Here she remained several weeks, in sight of, and making daily trips to the "old log cabin" and spent much time interviewing the people who came from the country about to tell of their acquaintance with Mr. Lincoln and his people. I take great pleasure in saying that Mrs. Gridley did her work faithfully and to the entire satisfaction of all members of the organization. The unique and original manner in which she has interblended pathetic, humorous and homely incidents in her book, makes the story "From the Log Cabin to the White House" one of great interest and rare value.
