Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Short Addresses During the years 1844 and 1845 my father, Mr. John W. Ewing, was the proprietor of the old National Hotel on Front Street in this city. At that time Circuit Courts were held in McLean County twice a year and there were a number of lawyers from other counties who usually attended these terms. Amongst those whom I especially remember as coming from Springfield and who were guests at my father´s house, were Mr. James McDougal, Mr. John T. Stuart and Mr. Lincoln. I thus became acquainted with Mr. Lincoln and I continued to know him, as a boy knows a distinguished man whom he often meets, until 1860 when he was elected President of the United States. Mr. Lincoln was fond of children, at least he knew many of the boys and girls of the village, the children of his older friends, and often talked to them and expressed an interest in their welfare. They liked Mr. Lincoln and most of the boys in the town knew him and many of them talked to him, as we all thought, on most intimate terms.
