Lincoln Abraham; Bancroft George
MEMORIAL ADDRESS ON THE LIFE AND CHARACTER OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN Delivered at the Request of Both Houses of the Congress of America Before them In the House of Representatives at Washington on the 12th of February 1866.
Washington: Government Printing Office 1866. First edition. With a fine steel-engraved portrait of Lincoln engraved by the Treasury Department as frontispiece. 8vo in the original brown pebbled and blind-stamped cloth with gilt tooled lettering block on the upper cover. 69 including appendix pp. A fine and bright copy the work is typically found with heavy foxing but in this copy it is only modestly so on the endpapers flies and prelims otherwise the book is nearly completely free of the usual foxing the brown cloth is not faded and the binding is firm a little cosmetic wear to the cloth in a short section of the outside hinges near the foot of the spine. VERY SCARCE FIRST EDITION. In Bancroft’s words: “The Assassination of Lincoln who was so free from malice has by some mysterious influence struck the country with solemn awe and hushed instead of exciting the passion for revenge. It seems as if the just had died for the unjust. When I think of the friends I have lost in this war---and every one who hears me has like myself lost some of those whom he most loved---there is no consolation to be derived from victims on the scaffold or from anything but the established union of the regenerated nation.<br> In his character Lincoln was through and through an American.Douglas his rival said of him: “Lincoln is the honestest man I ever knewâ€.the habits of his mind were those of meditaton and inward thought rather than of action. He delighted to express his opinions by an apothegm illustrate themby a parable or drive them home by a story. He was skillful in analysis discerned with precision the central idea on which a question turned and knew how to disengage it and present it by itself in a few homely stron old English words that would be intelligible to all.â€<br> Bancroft’s speech on Lincoln is one of the finest to have come out of the Congress. This first edition copy in fine condition is unusual for its import and its condition.<br><br> Government Printing Office hardcover

Lincoln Abraham
President Abraham Lincoln Uses Montgomery Blair His Postmaster General as a Conduit to Blair’s Brother Frank Who at Lincoln’s Request Was Resigning His Military Commission to Take a Seat in Congress
Frank supported Lincoln’s policies and the hope was he would help organize the House and perhaps even become Speaker In the Civil War era the Blairs were one of the most influential families in Washington. Francis Preston Blair Sr. had been from 1831 to 1845 Editor-in-Chief of the Washington Globe which served as the primary propaganda instrument for the Democratic Party. Blair was also a key advisor to President Andrew Jackson and in Jackson’s informal Kitchen Cabinet. But in the 1840s Blair though a slaveholder came to oppose the extension of slavery and left the Democratic Party over the Kansas-Nebraska Bill. He was a force in helping form the Republican Party in 1854. Blair supported Abraham Lincoln for President in 1860 and served as an advisor to Lincoln during the Civil War. His son Montgomery was Lincoln’s Postmaster General at a time when that was an influential Cabinet post and his other son Francis Jr. Frank was a Congressman and general in the Union Army. Montgomery Blair was the most conservative Republican in Lincoln’s cabinet and the Blairs whose family owned slaves represented the conservative wing of the Republican Party on emancipation. Frank Blair was the party’s “chief theoretician†for colonization of former slaves and the “best most passionate and most industrious proponent of a plan of gradual emancipation†according to historian Allan Nevins. The Blairs were at loggerheads with the Radical Republicans like Sumner who were actively gunning for Montgomery’s ouster and also for marginalizing Francis Sr. and Jr. In early April 1862 Congress with Frank in the House of Representatives and with his support voted for compensated emancipation for the District of Columbia. In the midst of this debate Frank rose to make a spirited defense of the President on April 11. Wrote Blair biographer William E. Parrish “To those who said that Lincoln had not policy Frank argued that the President’s main concern lay in preserving the Union. Refusing to believe that the South had seceded strictly over the issue of slavery Frank recalled those Southern leaders who had tried to pursue moderation and then made it clear that he considered the real cause of the war to be the ‘negro question and not the slavery question.’†Blair argued against full emancipation: “No wise man desires to increase the number of enemies to the State within the hostile regions or divide its friend outside. Mr. Lincoln knew that a decree of emancipation simply would have this effect. Such an act he knew was calculated to make rebels of the whole of the non slaveholders of the South and at the same time to weaken the sympathy of a large number of working men of the North who are not ready to see their brethren in the South put on equality with manumitted negroes.†President Lincoln’s Secretary John Hay recalled that one night in early December 1863 he John Nicolay and Secretary of the Interior John Usher were in the President’s office discussing the Blairs when Mr. Lincoln came and observed: “The Blairs have to an unusual degree the spirit of clan. Their family is a close corporation. Frank is their hope and pride. They have a way of going with a rush for anything they undertake especially have Montgomery and the Old Gentleman.†Lincoln had written Montgomery Blair with some advice to pass on to his brother just weeks earlier on November 2 1863: “I understood you to say that your brother Gen. Frank Blair desires to be guided by my wishes as to whether he will occupy his seat in Congress or remain in the field. My wish then is compounded of what I believe will be best for the country and it is that he will come here put his military commission in my hands take his seat go into caucus with our friends abide the nominations help elect the nominees and thus aid to organize a House of Representatives which will really support the government in the war. If the result shall be the election of himself as speaker let him serve in that position. If not let him retake his commission and return to the army for the country.†Lincoln went on to write: “It will be a mistake if he shall allow the provocations offered him by insincere time-servers to drive him from the house of his own building. He is young yet. He has abundant talents—quite enough to occupy all his time without devoting any to temper. He is rising in military skill and usefulness. His recent appointment to the command of a corps by one so competent to judge as General Sherman proves this. In that line he can serve both the country and himself more profitably than he could as a member of Congress upon the floor.†Thus Lincoln using Montgomery as a conduit to Frank recommended that Frank take his seat in Congress and work effectively there and if that brought insufficient results he could resume his military career. Thus at the request of President Lincoln Blair relinquished his command of the 15th Corps on December 11 1863 to return to Congress and resigned his commission on January 1 1864. It was accepted by Lincoln on January 12. In Congress Blair would defend Lincoln’s Reconstruction plans against radical elements of the Republican Party. He was equally courageous and aggressive on the battlefield and political field. Blair twice vigorously attacked Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase on the House floor and he had enemies in place in the Radical Republican wing. Blair failed to become Speaker of the House resigned his seat in June 1864 and was returned to military service by President Lincoln. On December 29 1863 just three days before Blair resigned his commission but after he had relinquished his command Lincoln called a Cabinet meeting. The topics discussed were not recorded and are unknown. Montgomery Blair and a few others were not present. On January 2 1864 Lincoln wrote to Montgomery Blair asking to see him. Autograph note signed on his note card Washington January 2 1864. “Will the Postmaster General please call and see me this morning A. Lincoln.†We speculate that the President was calling Montgomery Blair to the Executive Mansion to again use him as a conduit to his brother Frank and related to Frank’s taking his seat in Congress and the organization of the House. Perhaps the results of the December 29 Cabinet meeting were also discussed. This intriguing note to Blair is unpublished unknown

Lincoln Abraham
President Abraham Lincoln Appoints a Washington Militia Officer to Help Defend the Nation’s Capital as Civil War Looms
Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated on March 4 1861 and he was immediately faced with the secession crisis the looming confrontation at Fort Sumter and the potential secession of neighboring Virginia. In order to defend the nation’s capital as the Civil War loomed and broke out from Lincoln’s inauguration to July 1861 33 companies of infantry and one company of cavalry were raised from the District militia. Since the District of Columbia was Federal territory it was the job of the President to approve the commission of the officers. Document signed Washington March 27 1861 appointing Joseph B. Moore “First Lieutenant of Infantry in the Seventh Regiment Fourth Brigade of the Militia of the District of Columbia.†The document is countersigned by Simon Cameron as Secretary of War and the Great Seal of the U.S. is still present. It soon became apparent that the local militia could not handle the crisis and Lincoln called for states in the North to send troops to assist. Some Pennsylvania militia and regulars from Minnesota arrived in the capital on April 18 to join approximately 600 District of Columbia militia 200 U.S. Marines and about 600 regulars. The Sixth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment arrived the next day after experiencing problems and violence in Baltimore. Within five days of the Seventh New York Infantry Regiment’s arrival in the Union capital 7500 volunteers were quartered in the city and by the end of the month of April the number had grown to nearly 11000 unknown

Lincoln Abraham
President Abraham Lincoln Appoints a Surgeon Who Served Throughout the Civil War
A very uncommon medical appointment signed by Lincoln with the appointee finishing the war as a brevet major Dr. Henry T. Legler came to the United States from Germany after participating in the failed democratic uprising there in 1848. He initially served as a surgeon with the 8th New York Volunteers a regiment composed mainly of native Germans. That unit participated in the pursuit of Gen. Thomas J. Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley and as part of Gen. Louis Blenker’s division fought at the battles of Cross Keys and New Market. In the battle of Cross Keys its killed wounded and missing numbered 220 out of a total of 550 engaged. Afterwards Legler left that regiment and in 1863 was appointed a surgeon in another New York regiment a post he held for the rest of the war. He resigned in 1866 as a brevet major of volunteers. Legler came to Oakland CA in 1875 and acquired a large practice in his profession.

Lincoln Abraham
The Compassion and Mercy of President Abraham Lincoln: He Saves a Poor Soldier’s Life Pardoning an Admitted Deserter Whose Crime Carried the Death Penalty But Who Pleaded That He had Deserted Because his Family was Destitute
The deserter also made the surprising claim that he was a War Department Secret Service asset whose work needed to continue Lincoln’s compassion and mercy are central to his legacy and the picture that has come down to us envisions him as a man who was generous of spirit who pardoned soldiers who fell asleep on guard duty showed leniency whenever possible even to deserters and aided widows and orphans. Because of his position as President he had opportunities to prove or disprove this reputation as many requests for pardons deferrals of executions and pleas to aid soldiers came to him. From the start of the Civil War Lincoln felt the weight of the sacrifice that so many families were making for the Union and he saw that tens and then hundreds of thousands of men – sons husbands and brothers – were dying. He was not anxious for any additional lives to be taken. He was especially interested in mitigating death sentences for military offenses such as desertion and was moved by the pleas made by fathers and mothers on behalf of children under arrest and incarcerated. So he spent time reviewing the results of army courts-martial cases. His writings show that he seldom turned the needy aside which did not meet with the approval of his generals or legal staff. Attorney General Edward Bates’ pardon clerk later wrote of Bates that he discovered “his most important duty was to keep all but the most deserving cases from coming before the kind Mr. Lincoln at all; since there was nothing harder for him to do than to put aside a prisoner’s application and he could not resist it when it was urged by a pleading wife and a weeping child.†Abraham Lower enlisted in the 72nd Regiment Pa. Volunteers as a sergeant on August 10 1861. He deserted and was arrested in 1863. On July 25 of that year he wrote directly to President Lincoln from his cell in Philadelphia. In the letter he admits deserting gives his reason why as being the destitution of his family and further states that though not in the U.S. service he was acting under commission of Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin and also aiding War Department secret service activities in Pennsylvania and Maryland. He gives specific examples of his actions. The William H. Shearman he mentions was his brother-in-law but was surely a secret service agent in the War Department as records of that department show a large payment of $5000 to him for his activities in 1863. Lower claims to essentially have been involved in Shearman’s activities but whether he was or not is not known. Certainly he swings from a simple plea for mercy to claiming to be a War Department asset. Shearman went to see President Lincoln to plead for his brother-in-law’s life. He delivered Lower’s letter which reads in part: “The bearer of this document William H. Shearman a special officer in the secret service of the War. Dept intending to visit you in my behalf I deemed it proper to write a full statement of my case. At the breaking out of the Rebellion. I enlisted in the 19th Regt. P. V. for 3 months service and at the expiration of the term of service I was honorably discharged on the 10th of August 1861 I reenlisted in Co A. 72nd Regt. P. V. in December 1861. While the Regt. was encamped …I received very discouraging news from home my Wife & Child being sick and in a suffering condition without the means to live on and no one to take care of her all the male members of my own and her family being then in the Army in all making 7 men from the one family being thus placed. Without protection or a helping hand humanity demanded that I should risk all dangers to protect and save my family from starvation which was a staring them in the face with every prospect’s of a hard winter. I left my Regt. without proper leave and went home intending to return in a few days. But through force of circumstance and the earnest entreaties of my wife and mother not to leave them in a destitute condition without any supporter I was induced to remain at home. “At the time of the advance of the Rebel Army into Pennsylvania in September 1862 I was residing in Delaware Co Pa. On the call of Gov Curtin for Vol. I enlisted in a company from Chester Borough and was elected 1st Lieutenant. the company was attached to the 16th Regt. State Militia and went into service in the state of Maryland. I have a commission from Gov. Curtin to that effect on the return home of the Company I assisted Capt. Wm. Gray of Chester to recruit and fill a company for 9 months service which company was afterwards attached to a Phila. Regt. On Mr. Shearman’s getting his appointment I was appointed an aid by him and succeeded in aiding in the arrest of several abettors of the rebels. At the Point of Rocks I entrapped the spy Dobson now confined in the Capitol prison…At Seaford Delaware we arrested Dr. Hugh. Martin and several others: Knights of the Golden Circle whom we entrapped…we also seized the sloop Ramsey on the E. S. Md which was sold by the U. S. Commissioner at Phila. as a prize. I was transferred by Mr. Shearman to Col. Fish at Baltimore. and was empowered by him as an agent of the secret service in his Dept. While employed by him I succeeded in entrapping and and arresting a gang of blockade runners and abettors…Mr. Cook Post Master of Chaptico St Mary’s Co with a mail from Virginia and letters he wished me to take to Richmond. Mr Keys for sending information to the Rebel Govt. Mr Addison suspected of being a rebel agent. Mr. Dorsey a member of Jackson’s Army. Mr. Roberts with goods to take to Richmond. W. Goodrich H. Curnan and A. Helmlin acting as guides & Agent’s for Blockade runners…I have information of several parties who are sending communications to the South who I am positive I can detect having become connected with the Knights of the Golden Circle so as to enable me to entrap them with the knowledge I have of these parties I am confident I can benefit the Government in the present capacity more than I could in any other way. If I am granted the privilege of still continuing in search of them. “Having given a plain statement of my case and also of the services I have rendered the Govt. I ask of you as a Father & Gentleman. and as a Chief Magistrate and an officer who can appreciate the services I have rendered and who can temper Mercy & humanity with Justice to grant me all the benefits in a fair and impartial hearing that may arise in the consideration of my case. I am fully sensible of the wrong I have committed but I have tried to atone for it by doing all that laid in my power to assist the Administration detecting the enemy at home. even by placing my life in the balance in case I should be detected in exposing those who are plotting to destroy the Government. “Praying that you will look into my case in as favorable a light as possible and grant the begged for pardon either by ordering me to be transferred to Mr Shearman in the Secret Service or by ordering my discharge so that I can still continue to follow and bring to Justice those who are doing all in their power to prevent the reconstructing of the Union. By so doing you will never have cause to regret by any of my future actions and I will ever pray for your success in all your transactions and do all in my power hereafter to aid your wishes and that of the Government…Respectfully yours to Command Abraham. Lower Jr.†This letter is in the Lincoln Papers in the Library of Congress. Letter signed Washington August 4 1863 almost surely to Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. “Let Abraham Lower 72nd Regiment Pa. Volunteers now under arrest in Philadelphia for desertion be pardoned and discharged from the military service of the United States.†The text of the letter is in the hand of Lincoln’s secretary John Hay. “The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln†relates that Sergeant Lower of Company A was discharged by special order on August 5 the very next day unknown
