Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln: A Memorial Oration Fellow-Citizens: - No mans life-work can be fully appreciated until we know the tools he had to use and the obstacles he overcame. Yet no man´s fame is less dependent upon these considerations than our late President´s. His work, itself, stands out grand, perfect and collossal, seen of every land, and will remain seen and admired through all the coming ages. But whatever concerned the man who did so much for his country and humanity, is of interest to us. Abraham Lincoln, the Sixteenth President of the United States, was emphatically a child of the People. Probably no boy of honest parentage looked out upon the nineteenth century with less external advantages. He belonged to the humblest class of free white citizens. His family was of the poor whites of the South, with only means enough to escape from the shadow of slavery into the sunshine of free institutions, and always dependent upon labor for support.
