Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Talks With T. R Riding across Indiana shortly before his death, Colonel Roosevelt began a brief discussion of the manner in which tradition and some historians had treated Washington and Lincoln. The talk was predicated on Barnard´s statue of the emancipator, then the subject of much discussion.

"Lincoln to me," said he, "has always been a living person, an inspiration and a help. I have always felt that if I could do as he would have done were he in my place, I would not be far from right. And at times when I have been troubled by some public question, I have tried to imagine Lincoln in my position and to do as he would have done. "I do not understand," he went on, "why some persons like to portray Lincoln as rude and uncouth to suggest that he was a lineal descendant of the Pithecanthropus, always telling funny stories.
