Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of Abraham Lincoln I never saw Abraham Lincoln until after his election to the office of President of the United States, although through conversation with his intimate personal friends and the perusal of his numerous public speeches I seemed myself to have known him well for many years. My first personal interview with him occurred February 23rd, 1861, at Willard´s Hotel in Washington, the day of his arrival at the capital city shortly prior to his inauguration on the fourth day of the following March. He and his family occupied apartments on the second floor in the south front of that great house of public entertainment. The room in which he stood when I met him and the passages and stairways leading to it were crowded with people; - each one, apparently, intent on obtaining an opportunity to say a few words to him privately. The purpose and character of these private words I leave to your conjecture. He was literally overwhelmed by a multitude of professed friends and admirers. And some of them, no doubt, were sincere and unselfish. I called only to pay my respects, and had no conversation with him at this time, other than the exchange of the usual civilities.
