Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of Sixteen Presidents From Washington to Lincoln It having been understood among my friends that I have seen all the Presidents of the United States, except Washington and the elder Adams, their partiality has prompted the request that I should communicate to the public my recollections of them, and of other public men whom I have known personally during a life now past four-score years. To this request I have frequently replied that when my active intercourse with the world had ceased and the bustling affairs of life were laid aside, I would undertake the task. That time having arrived, I now begin the fulfillment of my promise. My personal recollections do not reach back far enough to embrace any portion of the period covered by the administrations of Washington, the elder Adams, Jefferson, and Madison; and are only shadowy with reference to that of Monroe. But my early associations were such as to bring me from boyhood into immediate intercourse and under the direct influence of men of the Revolution, who stamped impressions upon my mind, with regard to early events and those who were the chief agents in producing them, which nothing intervening, howsoever stirring, has been able to remove.
