Lincoln in Wisconsin (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Lincoln in WisconsinAnd why should Lincoln at this time have a desire to visit Wisconsin?If he was to follow the advice of his friends, as Herndon puts it, to quit the places and scenes of his sorrows and griefs, to what better place could he have gone? He had seen enough of that region during his brief period of soldier ing to know that it had many attractions. In fact, the Black Hawk War was Wisconsin's introduction to the American people. There was an immediate and rapid increase of immigration, not only in the mining region but in various other parts of what is now Wisconsin, more especially in that portion bordering on Lake Michigan.6 Lincoln surely knew of this strong trend of immigration.7 Then he may have wanted to see Lake Michigan, particularly as the east ern part of the state was the most accessible. From his early experiences with river boats we know that he was fond of the water.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
