Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Proceedings at the Sixteenth Annual Lincoln Dinner of the Republican Club of the City of New York: Celebrated at the Waldorf-Astoria the Ninety-Third Anniversary of the Birthday of Abraham Lincoln, Wednesday, 12th, 1902 Ladies and Gentlemen, We meet again this evening as friends and lovers of our country to celebrate the natal day of a peerless American, a leader among leaders, and it is indeed a privilege and a pleasure as President of the Republican Club of the City of New York to bid you welcome and extend to you its hospitality. In the swift flight of time forty years becomes as it were but forty days, and to some of you it must seem as yesterday when every eye in these passion-swept United States, nay, in all the civilized world, gazed with questioning and wonderment on the calm marvelous features of that extraordinary American, that indomitable republican chieftain, Abraham Lincoln. (Applause). He stood at the helm of the Ship of State steering her through the storm of war to the harbor of peace. Abroad millions gazed wonderingly upon him expecting that he would add to the reefs of historic time bestrewn with wrecks of government the ruins of a republic. At home other millions reposed in him their uttermost confidence, giving at his bidding their lives and their treasure, and never faltering in their belief in him. Few in those days accurately measured the greatness of his character or the many-sidedness of his genius. Nay, more, they little realized that his very peculiarities of temperament and disposition pre-eminently fitted him for the work assigned to him by destiny. He was distinctly and typically an American, and as such posterity will honor him more and more. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
