  • Lincoln Studies at the Bicentennial: a Round Table
    Lincoln Studies at the Bicentennial: A Round Table Lincoln Theme 2.0 Matthew Pinsker Early during the 1989 spring semester at Harvard University, members of Professor Da- vid Herbert Donald’s graduate seminar on Abraham Lincoln received diskettes that of- fered a glimpse of their future as historians. The 3.5 inch floppy disks with neatly typed labels held about a dozen word-processing files representing the whole of Don E. Feh- renbacher’s Abraham Lincoln: A Documentary Portrait through His Speeches and Writings (1964). Donald had asked his secretary, Laura Nakatsuka, to enter this well-known col- lection of Lincoln writings into a computer and make copies for his students. He also showed off a database containing thousands of digital note cards that he and his research assistants had developed in preparation for his forthcoming biography of Lincoln.1 There were certainly bigger revolutions that year. The Berlin Wall fell. A motley coalition of Afghan tribes, international jihadists, and Central Intelligence Agency (cia) operatives drove the Soviets out of Afghanistan. Virginia voters chose the nation’s first elected black governor, and within a few more months, the Harvard Law Review selected a popular student named Barack Obama as its first African American president. Yet Donald’s ven- ture into digital history marked a notable shift. The nearly seventy-year-old Mississippi native was about to become the first major Lincoln biographer to add full-text searching and database management to his research arsenal. More than fifty years earlier, the revisionist historian James G. Randall had posed a question that helps explain why one of his favorite graduate students would later show such a surprising interest in digital technology as an aging Harvard professor.

  • OF HISTORY Volume XLI September, 1945 No
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume XLI September, 1945 No. 3 Herndon’s Contribution to Lincoln Mythology LOUISA. WARREN The primary and perhaps the most important task of a painstaking biographer is to test the reliability of his source material. The average historian is often tempted to throw the responsibility for the accuracy of his deductions on other authors who have preceded him in the same field of effort. This is accomplished by the use of a generous distribution of footnotes and references, supplemented with an exhaustive bibliography. Supported by this array of evidences he at- tempts to give his argument the tone of authority. This method of approach by many Lincoln historians is responsible for the continual repetition of folklore and fable, until numer- ous, untenable stories, so widely circulated, have become ac- cepted generally as factual, and constitute what we may term, “Lincoln Mythology.” There is no collection of writings, consisting of manu- scripts, correspondence, recorded traditions, fragments of folklore, and personal reminiscences, which has contributed more definitely to the current opinion of Abraham Lincoln’s private life, than the compilation known as the Herndon collection of Lincoln papers.’ One would lack the ability of discrimination if he did not acknowledge the historical value of much of the information contained in these docu- ments, but he would also show the absence of nice perception The originals of the Herndon-Weik Collection are in the Library of Congress.

ToJ AUTHOR'S NOTE In the tremendous output of Lincolniana that has been given to literature, it seems strange that no adequate story has been given of one of the greatest loves in history. Many writers have referred to it and to its moulding power on the lover's after life. Some have thrown sidelights on the character of the woman. Some have mentioned her rare gift of song and her unusual endowment of mind, and one writer has given a careful description of her personal appearance. But so far as careful and exhaustive research shows, all this matter has never been woven into one story. It is also strange that there has been so much controversy regarding the religious views of Abraham Lincoln, and by those whose faith is based on the evidence required by the Great Teacher when He said, '* Ye shall know them by their fruits." Nor should it ever have been taken as an evidence of lack of faith because he did not accept the creedal beliefs of his day, for had not the Christ Himself strenuously denied 7 AUTHOR'S NOTE much that was insisted on in His day, Christian- ity could never have been possible.

  • Ann Rutledge in American Memory: Social Change and the Erosion of a Romantic Drama
    Ann Rutledge in American Memory: Social Change and the Erosion of a Romantic Drama BARRY SCHWARTZ A legend of a shining, deathless, holy and pure passion arose, spread, grew by some inherent vital sheen of its own or of the need of those who wanted it, of Ann Rutledge. Carl Sandburg, The Prairie Years Among the many love stories that poetry, biography, film, and drama told during the first half of the twentieth century, that of Abraham Lincoln and Ann Rutledge occupies a special place. Although scholars have argued for decades about the role Ann Rutledge played in Abra- ham Lincoln’s life,1 this essay says nothing about that question; rather, it speaks about the diminished relevance of the question itself. Moving back and forth between images of tragic romance and the changing ethos of American culture, the essay reviews the emergence and diffu- sion of the Ann Rutledge story. It explains why the story evoked strong public interest during the Progressive and New Deal eras, remained popular until the 1950s, then faded as a postindustrial society intensified demands for diversity, inclusion, racial justice, and gender equality. Diminishing popular interest in Ann Rutledge accompanied by rising academic interest raises important questions for scholars of collective memory. A second-cousin of “public opinion,” “collective memory” refers to the distribution throughout society of beliefs, knowledge, feelings, and moral judgements about the past. Only in- dividuals possess the capacity to contemplate the past, but beliefs do not originate in the individual alone, nor can they be explained on the basis of personal experience.

  • Lincoln's Ghosts
    LINCOLN’S GHOSTS: THE POSTHUMOUS CAREER OF AN AMERICAN ICON Kimberly N. Kutz A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: John F. Kasson W. Fitzhugh Brundage Bernard Herman David Morgan Heather A. Williams ©2013 Kimberly N. Kutz ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT KIMBERLY NOELLE KUTZ: Lincoln’s Ghosts: The Posthumous Career of an American Icon (Under the direction of Professor John F. Kasson) American cultural productions repeatedly have depicted Abraham Lincoln as “living on” as a spirit after his assassination in 1865. The unprecedented death toll of the Civil War coupled with the uncertain future of African American citizenship in the years after the war led Americans, both black and white, to imagine and reimagine how a living Lincoln would have responded to contemporary issues in the United States. As they grappled with Lincoln’s legacy for American race relations, artists, writers, and other creators of American culture did not simply remember Lincoln but envisioned him as an ongoing spiritual presence in everyday life. Immediately after the Civil War, when the American Spiritualist movement encouraged the bereaved to believe that departed loved ones watched over and comforted the living, popular prints and spirit photography depicted Lincoln’s ghost remaining to guide the American people. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, actors who played Lincoln on the American stage presented themselves as embodied forms of his spirit, in the process eschewing Lincoln’s political achievement of Emancipation in favor of sentimental portrayals of his boyhood and family life.

  • “It Would Just Kill Me to Marry Mary Todd”: Courtship and Marriage
    Chapter Six “It Would Just Kill Me to Marry Mary Todd”: Courtship and Marriage (1840-1842) In 1842, Lincoln married Mary Todd, a woman who was to make his domestic life “a burning, scorching hell,” as “terrible as death and as gloomy as the grave,” according to one who knew him well.1 COURTING MARY OWENS Lincoln’s courtship of Mary Todd is poorly documented, but indirect light on it is shed by his earlier, well-documented romance with Mary S. Owens. Born in Kentucky a few months before Lincoln, Mary Owens received a good education at the home of her wealthy father, a planter in Green County.2 She “was very different from Anne Rutledge.” Not only was she older, bigger, better-educated, and raised “in the most refined society,” she also “dressed much finer than any of the ladies who lived about New 1 William H. Herndon, quoted in Michael Burlingame, The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1994), 268. 2 Nathaniel Owens, out “of his deep concern for the education of his children . maintained a private school in his pretentious plantation home, to which came instructors from Transylvania University, Ky., to give instruction to his children and those of his neighbors.” On his 5000-acre plantation he grew cotton and tobacco, which he farmed with the help of two dozen slaves. Notes on Nathaniel Owens, Fern Nance Pond Papers, Menard County Historical Museum, Petersburg, Illinois. According to William B. Allen, Owens “was a farmer of good education for the times, and of a high order of native intellect.
