16747BOOTH John Wilkes. Assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. Civil War-dated printed broadside playbill 4.5" x 13" inches advertising a performance of Brian Boroihme at the Boston Museum where Booth was a regular performer for May 2 1862 exactly three years before the Lincoln assassination. Before becoming famous as a political radical and a murderer Booth was an erratic and popular performer from the well-known Booth family of Shakespearean actors. A supporter of slavery and the South he participated in the arrest and execution of abolitionist John Brown in 1859. In the fall of 1864 he hatched a plan to kidnap President Abraham Lincoln but the scheme failed. He then concocted the plot to assassinate Lincoln which he did in Ford's Theatre on April 14 1865 before jumping to the stage and allegedly crying out "Sic semper tyrannis! The South is avenged!" Booth was located and killed twelve days later. At the time of the playbill Both was performing in at least twelve pieces; including lead roles in Invisible Prince on May 9 and 12 1862 Peg Woffington on May 9 1862 Richard III on May 12 14 and 21 1862 and The Robbers on May 21 1862. It is very likely Booth contributed to and attended the live performance of Brian Boroihme advertised in the present playbill. In near fine condition. unknown books

McClellan. Although McClellan had been the commander of the Army of the Potomac and general-in-chief of the Union Army the Peace platform adopted by the Democratic National Convention in Chicago declared the war a failure. The party was bitterly divided between War Democrats who favored continuing the war to restore the Union while leaving slavery alone; moderate Peace Democrats who favored an armistice and a negotiated peace that would likely protect slavery in a reconstructed union and radical Peace Democrats who favored an immediate end to the war without securing Union victory. McClellan was a War Democrat but the platform was written by radical Peace Democrat Clement Vallandigham and Peace Democrat George H. Pendleton was nominated for vice president.</p><p>In 1864 Republicans created the National Union Party to attract War Democrats Unconditional Unionists and Unionist Party members who would not vote for the Republican Party though most state Republican parties did not change their name. President Abraham Lincoln won the nomination of the "National Union Party" at its Baltimore convention and won re-election with new running mate War Democrat Andrew Johnson.</p><p>Although Lincoln was convinced by August 1864 that he would not be reelected General William T. Sherman's capture of Atlanta in early September and General Philip Sheridan's successes in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia from August to October ensured his victory. Without the participation of the seceded states Lincoln and Johnson won 55 percent of the popular vote and an overwhelming 212-to-21 victory in the Electoral College. McClellan and Pendleton carried only Kentucky Delaware and McClellan's home state of New Jersey.</p> books
186423084New York: Sold at 13 Park Row and at all Democratic Newspaper Offices 1864. 8pp caption title disbound a bit of blank margin wear Good. At head of title: 'Document No. 12.' <br/><br/> This Democratic Party campaign pamphlet portrays President Lincoln as an incompetent military strategist who perpetually "interfered with General McClellan both when he was general-in-chief and afterward when he commanded the brave Army of the Potomac." Worse Lincoln has "The Taint of Disunion." He not McClellan the Democratic presidential candidate supported the Jeffersonian right of revolution in a speech during his single term in Congress. He and other "ultra abolitionists" are the "original secessionists and disunion men." <br/> George McClellan wants the rebel States to return to the Union but Lincoln's policies render that impossible. Lincoln "regards the States as dead and gone. He magnifies and strengthens the position of the Richmond dynasty" by seeking to negotiate "only with Jefferson Davis." <br/>Monaghan 326. Not in LCP.

Very Good.<br/><br/> Congressman Pomeroy of Auburn who represented New York in Congress during the Civil War years and early Reconstruction has high praise for Colonel Clark serving on the staff of General Banks and recently wounded in the advance on Port Hudson. In the earliest days of the War during the Baltimore disorders he "mingled during the day and following night with the populace and rioters gathered all possible information and on the following morning returned to Washington and laid the information before the military authorities. Communications with Annapolis being cut off he accepted the hazardous position of bearer of dispatches from the War Department to Gen'l Butler and of the seventeen messengers sent on that mission was the only one who succeeded in reaching his destination without arrest and that was accomplished only by a night march on foot of twenty-five miles in a country with which he was unfamiliar and by swimming the Patuxent within sound of the voices of the enemies sentinels." <br/>OCLC 768761257 1- Allen Cy Pub.

12672Sixteenth President of the United States. Bust made from Lincoln's actual life mask which Lincoln himself described as "The animal Himself." Volk used the cast to use as a model for the Statue of Lincoln at the Illinois state Capital in Springfield. This cast has always been concidered by Sculptors and Artists as the most reliable document of Lincoln and far more valuable than photographs for it is the actual form. This bust started with the actual life cast mask of Abraham Lincoln taken in 1860. It has been sculpturaly enhanced by a sculpter. The Hair eye brows and beard have been added. The eyes have been sculpted open. Abraham Lincoln's Inaugural suit has been sculpted so you can see every stitch. The detail is what makes it come live. A beautiful piece in excellent condition. unknown books

186036919np 1860. 8pp caption title as issued. Disbound with a bit of loosening light inner margin spotting. Good.<br/><br/> Lincoln's great Cooper Union Address argues that the Framers and early Congresses contemplated a narrow and ever-diminishing role for slavery. Examining Constitutional and early Congressional debates he demonstrates that contemporary statesmen viewed slavery "as an evil not to be extended but to be tolerated and protected only because of and so far as its actual presence among us makes that toleration and protection a necessity." <br/> Lincoln's argument fusing the interests of all anti-slavery men whether abolitionists or not ranks among his greatest contributions to American political thought. It received wide press coverage catapulting him into presidential contention for it transported the new Republican Party into the center of American constitutional and legal thinking rather than to an unacceptable extreme. He thus made it easy for moderate Northern Democrats Whigs and Know-Nothings to vote Republican in 1860.<br/>Monaghan 55. LCP 5944. unknown books
