To my Fatke?* PREFACE The work here offered the public was begun in 1894 at the suggestion of Mr. S. S. McClure and Mr. J. S. Phillips, editors of " McClure's Magazine." Their desire was to add to our knowledge of Abraham Lincoln by collecting and pre- serving the reminiscences of such of his contemporaries as were then living. In undertaking the work it was deter- mined to spare neither labor nor money and in this deter- mination Mr. McClure and his associates have never wa- vered. Without the sympathy, confidence, suggestion and criticism which they have given the work it would have been impossible. They established in their editorial rooms what might be called a Lincoln Bureau and from there an or- ganized search was made for reminiscences, pictures and documents. To facilitate the work all persons possessing or knowing of Lincoln material were asked through the Magazine to communicate with the editor. The response was immediate and amazing.

  • Carta a Um Professor Atribuída a Abraham Lincoln
    “CARTA DE ABRAHAM LINCOLN PARA O PROFESSOR DE SEU FILHO” "Caro professor, ele terá de aprender que nem todos os homens são justos, nem todos são verdadeiros, mas por favor diga-lhe que, para cada vilão há um herói, para cada egoísta, há um líder dedicado. Ensine-o, por favor, que para cada inimigo haverá também um amigo. Ensine-o que mais vale uma moeda ganha que uma moeda encontrada. Ensine-o a perder, mas também a saber gozar da vitória. Afaste-o da inveja e dê-lhe a conhecer a alegria profunda do sorriso silencioso. Faça-o maravilhar-se com os livros, mas deixe-o também perder-se com os pássaros no céu, as flores no campo, os montes e os vales. Nas brincadeiras com os amigos, explique-lhe que a derrota honrosa vale mais que a vitória vergonhosa. Ensine-o a acreditar em si, mesmo se sozinho contra todos. Ensine-o a ser gentil com os gentis e duro com os duros. Ensine-o a nunca entrar no comboio simplesmente porque os outros também entraram. Ensine-o a ouvir todos, mas, na hora da verdade, a decidir sozinho. Ensine-o a rir quando estiver triste e explique-lhe que por vezes os homens também choram. Ensine-o a ignorar as multidões que reclamam sangue e a lutar só contra todos, se ele achar que tem razão. Trate-o bem, mas não o mime, pois só o teste do fogo faz o verdadeiro aço. Deixe-o ter a coragem de ser impaciente e a paciência de ser corajoso. Transmita-lhe uma fé sublime no Criador e fé também em si, pois só assim poderá ter fé nos homens.

  • The Religious Environment of Lincoln's Youth 25
    The Religious Environment of Lincoln’s Youth JOHNF. CADY The religious environment to which Abraham Lincoln was subject as a youth has never been adequately explored. The minute book of the Little Pigeon Baptist Church, although repeatedly examined by biographers, has yielded very little. It is concerned for the most part with purely routine mat- ters such as inquiries into the peace of the church, accept- ance and dismission of members, and the recording of con- tributions of various sorts. Now and then a vote on policy is mentioned, or a matter of discipline raised. Except for the appearance of the Lincoln name at a half dozen or so places, it differs in no important particular from scores of similar records of kindred churches of the period that are available. It is, in fact; less significant than many that the writer has examined. The document acquires meaning only in proportion to one’s understanding of the general situation prevailing among the Regular Baptist churches of Kentucky and Indiana of the time. The discovery of the manuscript minute book of the Little Pigeon Association of United Bap- tists, however, affords a valuable key for relating the Lin- coln church to the larger religious context.’ The fact that the local church was of the Regular Baptist variety while the Association of which it was a member car- ried the name United Baptist requires a word of explanation. Almost all of the early Baptist churches west of the moun- tains accepted the conventional adaptation of the Calvinistic Philadelphia Confession, dating from 1765, practically the only formulated creed available to them.

  • Case Statement
    The Lincoln Family Home Hildene exists to carry the values of Abraham Lincoln to future generations. Our mission is to inspire others to put those Values into Action. CASE STATEMENT Hildene is one of the two or three most important Lincoln sites in the country. While other sites tend to focus on Lincoln as historical giant, we have carved out a different path as the organization focused on carrying Lincoln values into the future. Our three-word mission is Values into Action. Our Core Values are Integrity, Perseverance and Civic Responsibility. While that mission and core values are straight from Abraham Lincoln, we have made them our own. Through our key actions of Preservation, Conservation, Sustainability and Civil Civic Discourse, we make those timeless values relevant to today’s world. Hildene is a Vermont not-for-profit qualified as a 501 (C)(3) tax-exempt organization. It has a thir- teen-member board of trustees made up of a diverse group of individuals, some of whom live local- ly and some of whom live out of state. The board meets quarterly and has three standing commit- tees: Financial Planning, Advancement and Governance. Each trustee serves on one committee. History Hildene was the summer home of Robert and Mary Lincoln. Of Abraham and Mary Lincoln’s four sons, only Robert survived to adulthood. Successful lawyer, Secretary of War (1881-1885), Minister to England (1889-1893), president/board chair of the Pullman Company, Robert is one of the country’s most successful presidential children. In 1902, at the age of 59, Robert purchased the property that was to become his “ancestral home” in Manchester, Vermont.
