  • The Road to Lincoln
    SPOT LIGHT HIGHLIGHTING COLLECTIONS OF THE NATIONAL PARKS The Road to Lincoln “Handsome, but not pretentious...neatly but not ostentatiously fur- nished...”Thosewerethewordsofareporter from the New York Evening Post describing Abraham Lincoln’s Springfield, Illinois, home in 1860. The man the reporter saw that day, and the place where he lived, re- veal Lincoln as he really was—ambitious and hard-working, but very down to earth. It’s hard to imagine a legend as just a regular guy, but visitors to that same home today, now the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, get that sense through the artifacts of his daily life—the mahogany veneered horsehair rocker he relaxed in at the end of the day, his pigeon-holed writ- ing desk, even the khaki-colored box cushion he sat on when traveling. “This is where he was preparing for all of the wonderful things he did in THIS IS WHERE HE WAS PREPARING FOR ALL OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS HE DID IN WASHINGTON. HE DIDN’T JUST SHOW UP THERE. —SITE CURATOR SUSAN HAAKE Washington,” says Susan Haake, curator for the site. “He didn’t just show up there.” For many, the idea of Abraham Lincoln conjures up images of a little boy growing up in a one-room cabin or a gangly, somber-faced 55- year-old sitting in the Oval Office, struggling to hold the nation together. What people probably don’t often think about are the in-between years in Springfield, raising a family and laying the foundations for his path to the presidency. As the city’s website boasts, it’s the “home of Abraham Lin- coln,” where resides the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Mu- seum, his old law office, and even his account ledger on display in a downtown bank.

  • ***** November Program ***** Could the South Have Won?
    Our next meeting will be Thursday, 13 November at St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound Episcopal Church (101 Airlie Road). Social Hour begins at 7:00 p.m. (with light refreshments), meeting at 7:30. Please make plans to attend the next meeting of the CFCWRT’s continuing 2014-2015 Program Year. Visitors are always welcome – this year, BRING a friend to join you. Each of our speakers strives to enlighten, entertain, and add to our knowledge of Civil War history. This serves our mission of encouraging education and research into this seminal event in our nation’s past. ***** November Program ***** Could the South Have Won? Dr. Melton McLaurin will present his analysis of the possibilities of the South winning its independence during the American Civil War 1861-1865. Unlike most examinations that focus on the military aspects of the conflict, Dr. McLaurin will concentrate on the Southern society and economy that played critical parts in the final outcome. Fayetteville native Melton Alonza McLaurin received his Ph.D. in American history from the University of South Carolina in 1967 and taught at the University of South Alabama prior to joining the UNCW department of history as chairperson in 1977. From 1996 until 2003 he served as Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, retiring in 2004. He authored or co-authored nine books (Celia, A Slave; The Marines of Montford Point: America’s First Black Marines) and numerous articles on various aspects of the history of the American South Melton McLaurin and race relations. Join the RT at the November meeting to learn about aspects of the Civil War that may have had too little discussion.

  • Pursuing a Seat in Congress (1843-1847) in 1843, Mary Lincoln
    Chapter Seven “I Have Got the Preacher by the Balls”: Pursuing a Seat in Congress (1843-1847) In 1843, Mary Lincoln, “anxious to go to Washington,” urged her husband to run for Congress.1 He required little goading, for his ambition was strong and his chances seemed favorable.2 Voters in the Sangamon region had sent a Whig, John Todd Stuart, to Congress in the two previous elections; whoever secured that party’s nomination to run for Stuart’s seat would probably win.3 POLITICAL RIVALS Lincoln faced challengers, the most important of whom were his friends John J. Hardin and Edward D. Baker. Charming, magnetic, and strikingly handsome, the 1 Reminiscences of a son (perhaps William G. Beck) of the proprietress of the Globe Tavern, Mrs. Sarah Beck, widow of James Beck (d. 1828), in Effie Sparks, “Stories of Abraham Lincoln,” 30-31, manuscript, Ida M. Tarbell Papers, Allegheny College. On Mrs. Beck, see Boyd B. Stutler, “Mr. Lincoln’s Landlady,” The American Legion Magazine 36 (1944): 20, 46-47; James T. Hickey, “The Lincolns’ Globe Tavern: A Study in Tracing the History of a Nineteenth-Century Building” Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society 56 (1963): 639-41. In 1843-44, Mrs. Beck rented the Globe from Cyrus G. Saunders. See her testimony in the case of Barret v. Saunders & Beck, Martha L. Benner and Cullom Davis et al., eds., The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition, DVD-ROM (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2000), hereafter cited as LPAL, case file # 02608. The Illinois congressional elections scheduled for 1842 had been postponed one year because of delays in carrying out the reapportionment necessitated by the 1840 census.
