Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: The Man and the Crisis
HE basis of this little book is a centenary address given by the author at Bowdoin College, February 12, 1909, and at Augusta, Maine, on the same day, at a Lincoln celebration by the State Legislature. The author makes no claim to original investigation. He has gathered the facts chiefly from the many different biographies of Lincoln; has sought, amid the conflicting statements that cluster around the life of this great man, to dis criminate between the true and the false; and either in the text or the appended references has cited the important sources of his information, and has endeavored to give credit where credit is due.
