The Missing Link on Mary Lincoln by Anne G. Snow Pdf

Become a fan of Mary Lincoln by reading this shortest, yet comprehensive book which compares her life with that of her husband, President Abraham Lincoln from their births to their deaths. Their life together is one of the greatest love stories in American history. First written over fifty years ago, the author was motivated to redeem Mary Lincoln in the eyes of the fifth graders she was teaching who were getting lies from books in the library. It is time Americans show her respect.

Lincoln and His World by Richard Lawrence Miller Pdf

Just as an archeologist can reassemble pot shards and draw inferences about the civilization that produced it, I've examined a mass of verbal chunks left by Lincoln and people around him. I've sorted jumbled piles of fragments, restored them, and pieced them together in a way that reveals the speakers' world. --Richard Lawrence Miller, from the preface Quoting from eyewitness accounts, Richard Lawrence Miller allows Lincoln and his contemporaries to tell the story of this monumental American and bring a fascinating era of American history to life. The book covers Lincoln's birth through his first election to the Illinois legislature in 1834. Subsequent volumes will deal with Lincoln's life up to the White House years.

Lincoln's Other White House by Elizabeth Smith Brownstein Pdf

The Lincolns spent the summer of 1862 north of the White House at the Soldiers’ Home. The lush, cool hill overlooking the squalid capital promised the Lincolns an escape from the "city of stink." Despite fears about Lincoln’s vulnerability in the secluded place, Lincoln spent a quarter of his presidency at the Soldiers’ Home. But until the National Trust for Historic Preservation began restoring the cottage, little had been done to explore this missing link in Lincoln’s life. Elizabeth Smith Brownstein fills in a critical gap. Using diaries, letters, and eyewitness accounts, she provides unusual perspectives on Lincoln’s relationships, traces the evolution of Lincoln’s image, examines the Lincoln marriage, and more. Lincoln’s Other White House is a vivid evocation of a turbulent era, and an intimate portrait of the still elusive president.

Mary Lincoln by Ruth Painter Randall Pdf

Excerpt from Mary Lincoln: Biography of a Marriage Several years before his Lincoln the President (volumes I and II) was published in 1945, my husband, J. G. Randall, asked me to collaborate with him in two of its chapters: The House on Eighth Street [and Sifting the Ann Rut ledge Evidence. As a result of this request I spent many months working in old letters and documents, getting as close to the Lincoln marriage as possible. The Herndon Weik manuscripts had finally been opened to the public in 1942 and it was thus possible at last to investigate these private papers of William H. Herndon, whose account of Mrs. Lincoln had been largely impressed upon the public mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Baseball Before We Knew It by David Block Pdf

It may be America?s game, but no one seems to know how or when baseball really started. Theories abound, myths proliferate, but reliable information has been in short supply?until now, when Baseball before We Knew It brings fresh new evidence of baseball?s origins into play. David Block looks into the early history of the game and of the 150-year-old debate about its beginnings. He tackles one stubborn misconception after another, debunking the enduring belief that baseball descended from the English game of rounders and revealing a surprising new explanation for the most notorious myth of all?the Abner Doubleday?Cooperstown story. ø Block?s book takes readers on an exhilarating journey through the centuries in search of clues to the evolution of our modern National Pastime. Among his startling discoveries is a set of long-forgotten baseball rules from the 1700s. Block evaluates the originality and historical significance of the Knickerbocker rules of 1845, revisits European studies on the ancestry of baseball which indicate that the game dates back hundreds, if not thousands of years, and assembles a detailed history of games and pastimes from the Middle Ages onward that contributed to baseball?s development. In its thoroughness and reach, and its extensive descriptive bibliography of early baseball sources, this book is a unique and invaluable resource?a comprehensive, reliable, and readable account of baseball before it was America?s game.
