Americana and American History Law and Legal History Most Recent Listing; Autograph; 63 pages; Publisher's blue buckram spine lettered in gilt. Title page printed in red gray and black. Nearly fine in a clean dust jacket which shows a single minor closed tear at the top margin of the rear panel. Inscribed in ink by the editor and annotator on the front free-endpaper: "For Dr. Alfred F. Way an old / and good friend. Had Abraham / Lincoln not been in Kalamazoo / 85 years ago today this book / would not have been edited / by signed Tom Starr / 8/27/41." Lincoln made a speech supporting the Presidential candidacy of John C. Freemont in Kalamazoo on August 28 1856. Freemont was the first nominee of the newly-born Republican party. Lincoln made the point that a vote for either of the opposing candidates James Buchanan or former President Millard Fillmore was in effect a vote for slavery. Nicolay and Hay in their standard edition of the Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln made the following assertion: "In the canvass of 1856 Mr. Lincoln made over fifty speeches noo one of which so far as he remembers was put into print. " According to Thomas Starr's prefaced Lincoln's Kalamazoo address was transcribed by a newspaper reporter making use of Gregg shorthand and published in the Detroit 'Daily Advertiser' the day following Lincoln's speech. Thomas Starr asserts that this newspaper survived in a single copy only housed in the Burton Historical Collection in the Detroit Public Library. For context it may be useful to reflect that a day less than three months before Lincoln had addressed the crowd standing on the locally reknowned "Indian Mound" in Bronson Park -- he made his infamous "Lost Speech" on May 29 1856 in Bloomington Illinois. Traditional historicans thought of that famous speech by Lincoln as lost because it was such an impassioned condemnation of slavery -- so strong and engrossing that reporters neglected to take notes. The present Kalamazoo speech seems to have been neither noticed nor discussed by historians until around 1930 when Thomas Starr and two other researchers found it in the files of the 'Daily Advertiser. Starr agreed to postpone his publication of the speech in favor of a book then in preparation by his friend Stephen Gilchrist "Mr. Lincoln of Illinois". Mostly due to the great depression the Gilchrist book did not appear. This is the Kalamazoo speech's first appearance in a book following publication in a Sunday newspaper supplement in 1934 and a partial text published by Starr in the 'Michigan Bell' -- a publication for the employees of the Michigan Bell Telephone Company in 1936. The other component of this 1941 book is presented as "the first published life of Abraham Lincoln written by Joseph J. Lewis and published unsigned in the Chester County 'Times ' at West Chester Pennsylvania February 11 1860." It may be useful to recall that Lincoln was not so well known as the other politicians who sought the Presidential nomination of the new Republican party. It was thought that he required support in a large Eastern state -- New York and Ohio were rightly thought to have been pledged to others. Indeed most credit support in Pennsylvania as having secured the nomination for Lincoln in 1860. Illustrations in this 1941 volume include both vintage and modern photographs of the Indian Mound in Kalamazoo and a double-page facsimile of the letter by Lincoln to "Hezikiah G. Wells" -- chairman of the executive committee in charge of the Kalamazoo meeting. Lincoln is thought to have spent the night in Wells' house which was conveniently directly across the street from Bronson Park. Editor Starr writes that the Wells house was "hardly more than a stone's throw from the old Indian mound atop of which was erected the temporary stand from which Lincoln spoke.

"Opposition by force to the laws of the General Government is Rebellion from which the only escape is in Revolution.

Finally in concluding having served a remarkable nine years in office Lincoln declares he will not be a candidate for re-election as governor. Levi Lincoln Jr. 1782 – 1868 was an American lawyer and politician from Worcester Massachusetts. He was the 13th governor of Massachusetts 1825–1834 and subsequently represented the state in the U.S. Congress 1834–1841. Lincoln's nine-year tenure as governor is the longest consecutive service in the state's history. Lincoln was elected governor in 1825 in a nonpartisan landslide after serving one year on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Lincoln oversaw significant economic development in Massachusetts during his tenure. Lincoln and Daniel Webster were leading forces in the founding of the National Republican later Whig Party in Massachusetts which dominated state politics until the 1850s. His government eventually approved plans for the construction of a railroad connecting Boston to Albany New York chartering its first stage the Boston and Worcester Railroad in 1831. After his incredibly successful tenure as Governor Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1835 serving in the House of Representatives until 1841 when President William Henry Harrison appointed him collector of the Port of Boston. Lincoln had inherited sizable properties in central Worcester from his father Levi Lincoln Sr. 1749-1820 who had served as Thomas Jefferson's first attorney general. His development activities of these and other lands he acquired had a major impact on the city's character in the 19th century. From the 1820s to the 1840s Worcester experienced significant growth. Stimulated first by the construction of the Blackstone Canal and then the railroad which connected it to Boston. The town experienced rapid industrial growth and a growing diversification of its population especially by Irish Americans who had helped build the canal. In 1848 Lincoln was selected to serve as the first mayor of Worcester. After one year as mayor he retired from politics. Lincoln remained active in a large number of civic organizations including the American Antiquarian Society of which he was a founding member in 1812 and the Worcester Agricultural Society and the Massachusetts Historical Society. Lincoln's mansion originally on Worcester's west side now stands as a retail establishment near the entrance to Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge Massachusetts. In 1848 Abraham Lincoln came to Worcester for the Whig state convention and was invited to dine with a number of distinguished guests at Levi Lincoln's home. Abe Lincoln once recalled this event to Henry Gardner later Governor: "You and I are no strangers; we dined together at Governor Lincoln’s in 1848. . . . I had been chosen to Congress then from the wild West and with hayseed in my hair I went to Massachusetts the most cultured State in the Union to take a few lessons in deportment. That was a grand dinner—a superb dinner; by far the finest I ever saw in my life. And the great men who were there too! Why I can tell you just how they were arranged at table." Levi Lincoln died in Worcester in 1868. . 1833. Dutton and Wentworth, State Printers unknown
