  • Republicans Gather at Chicago
    Republicans Gather at Chicago by Michael Burlingame http://housedivided.dickinson.edu/sites/journal/2010/07/29/republicans-gather-at-chicago/ The convention opened on Wednesday, May 16, with David Wilmot of Pennsylvania serving as temporary chairman. Orville Browning called him “a dull, chuckle headed, booby looking man” who “makes a poor presiding officer.” The convention hall, specially built for the occasion, was known as the Wigwam because it resembled an Indian longhouse. A large, clumsy, solid, barn-like structure, measuring 100 x 180 feet, with a capacity of twelve thousand people, it was constructed “of rough timber, decorated so completely with flags banner, bunting, etc., that when filled it seemed a gorgeous pavilion aflame with color and all Inside the “The Wigwam” aflutter with pennants and streamers.” The interior resembled a Chicago, Illinois, 1860 huge theater whose stage was occupied by the delegates and the press. The acoustics were so good that an ordinary voice could easily be heard throughout the building. One journalist deemed it a “small edition of the New York Crystal Palace.” "Republicans Gather at Chicago " p. 2 An “overflowing heartiness and deep feeling pervaded the whole house,” John G. Nicolay remembered. “No need of a claque, no room for sham demonstration here! The galleries were as watchful and earnest as the platform. There was something genuine, elemental, uncontrollable in the moods and manifestations of the vast audience.” The city was awash with visitors, some of whom wound up sleeping on tables at

  • Introduction & Historic Perspective
    CAMP DOUGLAS September 1861-December 1865 (A Chicago story that must be told) View of Camp Douglas, September 1864, looking Southwest. (Image courtesy of Chicago Historical Society) 12-13 “Some institutions exist, and pass away to be forgotten; others never die, but live eternally in the memory. They possess associations clinging around them, and entwined in every fiber of their existence, so closely allied to the interest of the community that time only serves to mellow the interest, and clothe them in everlasting importance. Of these, not the least in the minds of the citizens of Chicago is Camp Douglas.” I. N. Haynie, Adjutant General of the State of Illinois, 1865. Camp Douglas (1861-1865) –A Chicago Story that must be told The Chicago Story that Must be Told: Reconstruction of a portion of Camp Douglas, one of the most significant Union Civil War prison camps, is important to the history of Chicago. Camp Douglas was more than a prison camp. As the largest reception and training center for Union soldiers in Northern Illinois, Camp Douglas was the most significant Civil War facility in Chicago. In addition to training over 30,000 Union soldiers, Camp Douglas was one of the few Union camps that received and trained African American soldiers. Providing a place for young and old to see and touch our heritage is important to retaining a historic perspective. Giving an educational opportunity to our youth is critical to providing them with a sound historic foundation. Sharing with all the role of African Americans during the Civil War, as part of the Camp Douglas restoration, offers a unique opportunity to tell the story of over four-million slaves who emerged from the war to join Northern freemen in the quest for racial equality.

  • Views of the Wigwam Convention: Letters from the Son of Lincoln's
    Views of the Wigwam Convention: Letters from the Son of Lincoln’s 1856 Candidate JOHN T. ELLIFF Abraham Lincoln was nominated as a candidate for president on May 18, 1860, at the Republican convention in the Chicago Wigwam. On each of the three days before the roll calls, Cincinnati lawyer Nathan- iel C. McLean wrote letters from Chicago to his wife. He was neither a delegate nor a politician, but he was hoping for a deadlock that could result in nomination of his father, Associate Justice John McLean of the United States Supreme Court, to whom he referred affectionately as “the Judge.” He knew members of the Ohio delegation and gained inside knowledge of the deliberations of other state delegations. The candid observations he shared with his wife provide insights into the Wigwam convention from a newly available perspective.1 Justice McLean was a long-shot candidate from Ohio before whom Lincoln had practiced law in Illinois federal courtrooms.2 His long- standing presidential ambitions dated back to his service as postmas- ter general under Presidents Monroe and John Quincy Adams; he reluctantly accepted appointment to the Supreme Court by Andrew Jackson.3 When McLean sought the Whig presidential nomination 1.
