I leave to other and abler pens the proper estimate of Abraham Lincoln as a ruler and statesman,—his work and place in history. Favored during the year 1864 with several months of personal intercourse with him, I shall attempt in these pages to write the story of that association; not for any value which the record will have in itself, but for the glimpses it may afford of the person and character of the man,—every detail of whose life is now invested with enduring interest for the American people. That Art should aim to embody and express the spirit and best thought of its own age seems self-evident. If it fails to do this, whatever else it may accomplish, it falls short of its highest object. It cannot dwell always among classic forms, nor clothe its conceptions in the imagery of an old and worn-out world. It must move on, if it is to keep pace with that “increasing purpose which through the ages runs,” and its ideals must be wrought out of the strife of a living humanity. It has been well said by a recent writer: “The record of the human family to the advent of Christ, was the preparation of the photographic plate for its image. All subsequent history is the bringing out of the divine ideal of true manhood.” Slowly, but surely, through the centuries, is this purpose being accomplished. Human slavery has been the material type or expression of spiritual bondage. On the lowest or physical plane, it has symbolized the captivity and degradation of our higher nature; with the breaking in of new light, and the inspiration of a deeper life, it is inevitably doomed. That man, to attain the full development of the faculties implanted in him, must be in spiritual and physical freedom, is a principle which lies at the foundation of all government; and the enfranchisement of a race to-day thus becomes the assertion and promise of a true and coming Emancipation for all men. When Abraham Lincoln, called from the humblest rank in life to preside over the nation during the most momentous period of its history, uttered his Proclamation of Freedom,—shattering forever the chains which bound four millions of human beings in slavery; an act unparalleled for moral grandeur in the history of mankind,—it was evident to all who sought beneath the surface for the cause of the war that the crisis was past,—that so surely as Heaven is on the side of Right and Justice, the North would triumph in the great struggle which had assumed the form of a direct issue between Freedom and Slavery. In common with many others, I had from the beginning of the war believed that the government would not be successful in putting down a rebellion based upon slavery as its avowed corner-stone, without striking a death-blow at the institution itself. As the months went on, and disappointment and disaster succeeded one another, this conviction deepened into certainty. When at length, in obedience to what seemed the very voice of God, the thunderbolt was launched, and, like the first gun at Concord, “was heard around the world,” all the enthusiasm of my nature was kindled. The “beast” Secession, offspring of the “dragon” Slavery, drawing in his train a third part of our national stars, was pierced with the deadly wound which could not be healed. It was the combat between Michael and Satan of Apocalyptic vision, reënacted before the eyes of the nineteenth century.

In February 1864 Francis B. Carpenter began work on his painting First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. He would go on to spend six months in the White House and in the company of Abraham Lincoln at the height of the American Civil War. First published in 1866, just one year after Abraham Lincoln's assassination, Francis B. Carpenter provides us with a deeply personal portrait of one of the most iconic figures of American history. Nonetheless, this book is primarily about the president and his cabinet in 1864. Carpenter provides an insightful account of the nature of politics and his experiences meeting with the host of politicians that attended the White House in his time there. William Seward, Edwin Stanton and Ulysses S. Grant amongst others fill the pages as the supporting cast for the monumental Lincoln. Six Months at the White House contains a collection of anecdotes about Abraham Lincoln and helps to put a human face to the man who has become more legend than man. Whether it is Lincoln reciting Shakespeare at dinner or including his youngest son Tad in meetings of state, Carpenter provides a well-rounded picture of the American president. In turn, he presents Lincoln as the merciful leader, the stern father, the sage law-giver, and the consummate storyteller. Through both his own experiences and the opinions of several other individuals who knew Lincoln well, Carpenter creates a personal account of the man than later histories and biographies. 'It remains an essential volume in any Lincoln library.' The New York Times Francis Bicknell Carpenter (1830-1900) was a painter born in New York, best known for his painting of the First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation, still displayed in the Capitol building in Washington, DC. Carpenter painted the portraits for four American presidents and many more of the most important pre-Civil War politicians. A fervent abolitionist, he viewed the Emancipation Proclamation as "an act unparalleled for moral grandeur in the history of mankind."

In 1864, an ambitious young painter named Francis Bicknell Carpenter approached Abraham Lincoln with a proposal: he wanted to paint a grand portrait of the President and his entire Cabinet to commemorate the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. What followed was a six-month project in the White House, where the artist had the opportunity to observe Lincoln in his day-to-day activities. Carpenter later wrote down his recollections from this period and published them as "The Inner Life of Abraham Lincoln" in 1866. It went on to become one of the most popular books about Lincoln in the immediate aftermath of his assasination. The original book is republished here in its entirety, with a contextual Introduction from historian S. C. Straley.
