Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lincoln Centenary: Program of the National Centenary Celebration Together With the Report of the Executive Committee of the Lincoln Farm Association and Other Matters in Connection With the Lincoln Birthplace Memorial The centennial celebration of Abraham Lincoln,s birth on February 12 is not confined to the ceremonies held at the birthplace farm near Hodgenville, Kentucky, where the President of the United States will lay the corner-stone of the new memorial building. It is national, and has erased all sectional lines. The old Mason and Dixon´s Line has been obliterated in the expression of a new national sentiment centered in the people´s love for the memory of Lincoln, who belongs alike to the North and South, the East and the West. The Grand Army of the Republic has issued a special order calling upon every post to properly celebrate the day, through cooperation with some other organization or independently. Their camp-fires burn everywhere. The Governor of every State in the Union has appointed a special centenary committee to represent each State, respectively, in the national celebration that takes place at the Lincoln birthplace farm in Kentucky and to foster local celebrations in every city, village, and community within its commonwealth confines. Lincoln´s native State is planning the construction of a modern automobile road connecting Louisville with the farm, to be known as the Lincoln Pike. Senator Knox has introduced a bill into Congress for Federal surveys of a proposed Lincoln memorial road to be constructed between Gettysburg and Washington. In Illinois Lincoln´s old home people, at Springfield, will have a large mass-meeting. In Chicago they are planning to make "a Lincoln week of it."
