Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 3: Drawn From Original Sources and Containing Many Speeches, Letters, and Telegrams Hitherto Unpublished and With Many Reproductions From Original Paintings, Photographs, Etc The First Inauguration of Lincoln The Relief of Fort Sumter Seward´s Ambition to Control the Administration Daybreak of March 4, 1861, found the city of Washington astir. The Senate, which had met at seven o´clock the night before, was still in session; scores of persons who had come to see the inauguration of the first Republican President, and who had been unable to find other bed than the floor, were walking the streets; the morning trains were bringing new crowds. Added to the stir of those who had not slept through the night were sounds unusual in Washington - the clatter of cavalry, the tramp of soldiers. All this morning bustle of the city must have reached the ears of the President-elect, at his rooms in Willard´s Hotel, where from an early hour he had been at work. An amendment to the Constitution of the United States had passed the Senate in the all-night session, and as it concerned the subject of his inaugural, he must incorporate a reference to it in the address. Then he had not replied to the note he had received two days before from Mr. Seward, asking to be released from his promise to accept the portfolio of State. He could wait no longer. "I can´t afford," he said to Mr. Nicolay, his secretary, "to let Seward take the first trick." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
