Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, His Great Funeral Corteege, From Washington City to Springfield, Illinois: With a History and Description of the National Lincoln Monument When I first contemplated writing a history and description of the National Lincoln Monument, I had no thought of extending it beyond the limits of a small pamphlet. My desire was simply to prepare something that would enable visitors to the Monument to obtain such information as all are desirous to have, who enjoy the privilege of making such a visit. My intention was to confine it to such limits that the price would be no barrier to any visitor taking it. After beginning, it occurred to me that the subject might be made interesting to those who never expected to visit the Monument, and I began to prepare a biography of Abraham Lincoln, intending to make it very brief. That soon grew to dimensions entirely beyond the limits I had fixed in my own mind. The idea that a medium course would be preferable, presented itself, and I decided to begin with the assassination, give a full account of the journey from Washington City to Springfield, and then follow with a history and description of the Monument. I was not unmindful that the frequent repetitions involved in describing the journey would make it very difficult to keep up the interest to the end. My conviction that the description of the Great Funeral Cortege, and of the Monument should go together, overcame my misgivings, and I decided to rely upon the reader´s interest in the subject to hide any defects of my own in presenting it.
