Weldon Petz Abraham Lincoln Collection 1861-2004 8 Storage Boxes, 3 Oversized Boxes, 21 Small Boxes Record Group 22 Weldon Petz Abraham Lincoln Collection 1861-2004 8 storage boxes, 3 oversized boxes, 21 small boxes Plymouth Historical Museum, Plymouth, MI Finding Aid Written by Elizabeth Kelley Kerstens and Lena Packer, 27 January 2005 Updated by Jennifer Meekhof 21 Sept 2011 Creator: Dr. Weldon Petz Acquisition: The Weldon Petz Abraham Lincoln Collection records were deposited in the archives in 1999. Language: Materials in English Access: Records are open for research Use: Refer to Archives Reading Room Guidelines Notes: Citation Style: ―Weldon Petz Abraham Lincoln Collection,‖ Record Group 22, Archives, Plymouth Historical Museum Abstract Over a period of 70 years, Dr. Weldon Petz acquired more than 12,000 Lincoln artifacts, research papers, and other resource materials. This is the largest such collection in Michigan, second largest in the Midwest, and one of the largest and finest private collections of Lincolniana in the country. Among the objects are Lincoln‘s life mask and casts of his hands, a lock of his hair, photographs, and statuary. The archival collection consists of books, documents, journals, clip files, pamphlets, maps, and prints and posters. In his search for a permanent home for this collection, Dr. Petz chose the Plymouth Historical Museum because it promised to use the collection to create educational programs for students. The dimensions of the Petz Collection demanded the addition of a new wing to the Museum to exhibit it. After the Museum (which receives no governmental funding), purchased this prestigious collection, Margaret Dunning, an exemplary citizen and founder of the Museum, once again stepped forward and donated a million dollars to build it. She then challenged the community to raise the funds needed to preserve, exhibit, and display the Museum‘s collection of Lincoln artifacts and the archives that are a part of it. The Weldon Petz Abraham Lincoln Collection opened in 2002; the collection is on permanent exhibit in a separate Lincoln Room. The Lincoln archives are available to researchers during the Museum‘s open hours. Scope and Content The Weldon Petz Lincoln Collection record group consists of all materials related to Abraham Lincoln and his life. The collection consists of Petz‘s book collection, posters, clippings, pamphlets, scholarly journals, and various Lincoln organization bulletins. The collection also holds duplications of some Lincoln speeches also. Physical objects from the collection were accessioned for display in the museum.

  • “Lincoln Bibles”?
    How Many “Lincoln Bibles”? GORDON LEIDNER In a 1940 edition of Lincoln Lore, editor and historian Dr. Louis A. War- ren stated that “no book could be more appropriately associated with Abraham Lincoln than the Bible,” and he briefly introduced his read- ers to nine “Historic Lincoln Bibles” that he thought should be linked with the sixteenth president.1 Eleven years later, Robert S. Barton, son of the Lincoln biographer Rev. William E. Barton, published a paper titled “How Many Lincoln Bibles?”2 In it, Barton updated the status of Warren’s nine historic Lincoln Bibles, then added three Bibles he thought should also be associated with the 16th president. This list of a dozen Lincoln Bibles has not been critiqued or updated since that time, 1951. But a few significant discoveries, particularly in the past decade, justify a fresh look at this subject. In this article I update the status of the twelve previously identified historic Lincoln Bibles, discuss which Bibles Lincoln used while presi- dent, and introduce four previously unidentified Bibles that should be added to this list. One of these “new” Bibles may have been used by Lincoln’s mother to teach him how to read when he was a child, and another was probably read by Lincoln when he was president. These sixteen Bibles are shown in the table. The first twelve are presented in the order that Warren and Barton discussed them. In Lincoln Lore, Warren wrote that the Bible was “the single most influential book that Abraham Lincoln read.”3 An extensive study of Lincoln’s use of the Bible is beyond the scope of this article, but suffice it to say that Lincoln utilized the Scriptures extensively to support his ethical and political statements.

  • Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address
    Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is one of the most quoted speeches in American history. The text is brief, just three paragraphs amounting to less than 300 words. It only took Lincoln a few minutes to read it, but his words resonate to the present day. It’s unclear how much time Lincoln spent writing the speech, but analysis by scholars over the years indicates that Lincoln used extreme care. It was a heartfelt and precise message he very much wanted to deliver at a moment of national crisis. The dedication of a cemetery at the site of the Civil War's most pivotal battle was a solemn event. And when Lincoln was invited to speak, he recognized that the moment required him to make a major statement. Lincoln Intended a Major Statement The Battle of Gettysburg had taken place in rural Pennsylvania for the first three days of July in 1863. Thousands of men, both Union and Confederate, had been killed. The magnitude of the battle stunned the nation. As the summer of 1863 turned into fall, the Civil War entered a fairly slow period with no major battles being fought. Lincoln, very concerned that the nation was growing weary of a long and very costly war, was thinking of making a public statement affirming the country’s need to continue fighting. Immediately following the Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg in July, Lincoln had said the occasion called for a speech but he was not yet prepared to give one equal to the occasion.

  • Compiled by D. A. Sharpe Abraham Lincoln Was Born February 12
    Compiled by D. A. Sharpe Abraham Lincoln was born February 12, 1809 on Sinking Spring Farm near Hodgenville, Kentucky. He lived till assassinated by actor John Wilkes Booth, a Confederate sympathizer on April 14, 1865 at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. He died April 15, the following day, at the Petersen House, Washington, D.C Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He is my 33rd cousin, twice removed. Our ancestors in common are Eystein Glumra Ivarsson and Aseda Rognvaldsdatter. They are ninth century Vikings of Norway who are Lincoln's 30th great grandparents and my 32nd great grandparents. Viewed another way, Abraham Lincoln is the 8th cousin, six times removed of the husband of the stepdaughter of my 6th great grand uncle, Danette Abney. President Lincoln is the thirteenth cousin, six times removed to President George Washington. Lincoln is the 19th cousin, six times removed to my son-in-law, Steven O. Westmoreland. Lincoln is a 33rd cousin, once removed, to Steve's wife (our daughter), Tiffany Lenn Sharpe Westmoreland. Tiffany and Steven are 34th cousins, four times removed to each other. I’m presuming that is not too close of family relation to be a marriage problem! 1 According to some sources, Lincoln's first romantic interest was Ann Rutledge, whom he met when he first moved to New Salem; these sources indicate that by 1835, they were in a relationship but not formally engage. She died at the age of 22 on August 25, 1835, most likely of typhoid fever. In the early 1830s, he met Mary Owens from Kentucky when she was visiting her sister.

  • Actor, Assassin, Patriot, Pawn; What You Think You Know About John Wilkes Booth”
    April 14, 2016 The Civil War: April 12, 1861 - May 9, 1865 “Actor, Assassin, Patriot, Pawn; What you think you know about John Wilkes Booth” It was sad news to hear of Don “Duffy” Forsyth’s pass- ing last month. His gentle smile has been missed the last few months. His efforts in getting the speaker for our last luncheon were important to the success of the event. I was pleased to hear from his wife, Nancy, about how much he enjoyed the time he spent with Old Baldy. We are grateful that the family listed Old Baldy as an organization to which a donation could be made to honor Don. Bob Hanrahan, Jr. told us all about the battle between the Kearsarge and the Alabama last month. This month Joanne Hulme, a Booth descendant, will inform us what we do not know about John Wilkes Booth. Next month our vice-president Bob Russo will share his research on Arlington National Cemetery. Be sure to tell others about Joanne Hulme our great programs and activities. Ticket sales for our Iwo Jima print are going well. Pick up a flyer at the meeting to display in your area. Join us at 7:15 PM on Thursday, April 14th, at Camden Planning for our October Symposium is coming along well. County College in the Connector Building, Room 101.
