Heclawa Abraham Lincoln Himmelwright
In The Heart Of The Bitter-Root Mountains The Story Of The Carlin Hunting Party September-December 1893
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons 1895. First Edition. Very good in light green buckram cloth covered boards with gilt text on the spine and on the front board. A small octavo measuring 7 1/2 by 5 inches with very light rubbing to the cloth at the ends of the spine and foxing to the end sheets. Without a dust jacket. Written in pencil on the title page beneath the pseudonym Heclawa the following inscription appears: "From the author A. Lincoln Himmelwright" The upper edge of the title page bears the name of a previous owner in pencil. Also of interest facing page 172 is a photograph titled "The Return to Kendrick" of six horsemen surrounded by many men standing in front of a building. Someone has drawn in pencil an arrow connected to one of the horsemen to the author's name also written in pencil. Given how obscure the faces of anyone are in this photograph it would have been the author or someone with first hand knowledge to make this identification. 259 pages of text and appendices followed by a fold-out map of the "Clearwater Basin and adjoining Territory" of what is now Idaho and western Montana. Illustrated with a frontispiece eleven engravings eleven photographs and one line drawing. The author published this book using a pseudonym due to the controversy surrounding the discovery of this lost hunting party for leaving their cook George Colegate behind unable to walk and thinking he was close to death. The cook's body was located year later six miles from where he had been left to die. G. P. Putnam's Sons hardcover books

It was based on contemporary charts and maps and contained a collection of plates engraved by Frans Hagenberg in a uniform size and format. The Theatrum preceded the first atlas of Ortelius' good friend Gerardus Mercator. In fact popular sentimental legend has it that Mercator delayed publication of his own work so that his younger friend's would appear first. Although this simply isn't true Mercator wasn't ready the legendary cartographer did complement Ortelius for the "care and elegance" he had put into the Theatrum. unknown books

LINCOLN ABRAHAM
Speech of Abraham Lincoln of Illinois Delivered at the Cooper Institute Monday Feb. 27 1860 Cooper Union Address
New York: New York Tribune 1860. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION of Lincoln's historic Cooper Union Address delivered on February 27 1860 at the Cooper Institute in New York. The speech is largely credited to having launched Lincoln's Presidential bid. In the fall of 1859 James A. Briggs who served on the lecture committee of the Plymouth Church in Brooklyn invited presidential candidate hopeful Abraham Lincoln to speak to a New York audience on any subject of his choosing. Lincoln accepted the invitation choosing to speak of the current political climate in America. William O. Stoddard an Illinois journalist who worked for President Lincoln during his administration noted that "No previous effort of his life cost him so much hard work as did that Cooper Institute speech" and that the resulting speech "was a masterly review of the history of the slavery question from the foundation of the government with a clear bold statesmanlike presentation of the then present attitude of parties and of sections. It exhibited a careful research a thorough knowledge and understanding of political movements and developments that staggered even the most laborious and painstaking students. It showed a grasp a breadth a mental training and a depth of penetration which compelled the admiration of critical scholars" Stoddard Abraham Lincoln: The True Story of a Great Life. <br /> <br /> "Horace Greeley had rushed out the speech in pamphlet form as 'Tribune Tract' Number 4 under the headline: National Politics. Speech of Abraham Lincoln of Illinois Delivered at the Cooper Institute Monday Feb. 27 1860. The pamphlet was ready March 6 while Lincoln was still traveling through Connecticut. When he returned to New York he found it already available to the public. <br /> <br /> "Greeley marketed the eleven-page Tribune edition aggressively. As a bonus the publication included Wisconsin Republican senator James Doolittle's February 24 speech attaching 'the new doctrine of judicial infallibility' as did Lincoln's address at Cooper Union just three days later and also like Cooper Union railing agains 'the headstrong zeal pursued by the other party to force slavery into Territories'.<br /> <br /> "It was as if Republicans were now speaking with one voice: identifying with the founders attacking the Dred Scott decision rebuking John Brown and drawing their own 'dividing line' on slavery extension. Lincoln did not say it alone; but he said it best. 'Mr. Lincoln's is probably the most systematic and complete defense yet made of the Republican position with regard to Slavery' the Tribune declared in its initial advertisement for the reprints. 'We believe no speech has yet been made better calculated to win the intelligent minds over to our standard. Will the friends of the Cause everywhere aid us to circulate it'<br /> <br /> "The answer was yes. The Tribune Tract edition proved enormously popular going through at least five additional editions. Lincoln's New York oration was enjoying a new and sustained life in pamphlet form and was being purchased individually and in bulk alike by admirers and groups across the North.<br /> <br /> "The Cooper Union address tested whether Lincoln's appeal could extend from the podium to the page and from the rollicking campaigns of the rural West to the urban East. Cooper Union held the promise of transforming Lincoln from a regional phenomenon to a national figure. Lincoln knew it and rose to the occasion." Harold Holzer Lincoln at the Copper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President.<br /> <br /> New York: New York Tribune Tribune Tracts No. 4 1860. Octavo original wrappers; custom box. Lincoln's speech comprises pages 1-11 out of a total of 16 pages. With New York Tribune ads and subscription terms on rear wrapper. Only a spot of soiling in the bottom margin of the rear wrapper creeping lightly into preceding leaves. A beautiful copy in a remarkable state of preservation. RARE. New York Tribune unknown books
