Broadside Advertisement of Abraham Lincoln’s Birthplace The Lincoln Spring Farm.

1905148440LaRue County Kentucky August 28 1905. Rare original broadside advertisement of the bankruptcy sale of Abraham Lincoln's birthplace The Lincoln Spring Farm. One page printed broadside advertisement by L.B. Handley Special Commissioner of the LaRue County Kentucky and dated August 28 1905. The headline states "Commissioner's Sale! Of the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace." Thomas and Nancy Lincoln moved into the home in December 1808 just weeks before the birth of their son Abraham in February 1809. Only a few bidders participated and the auction was won for $3600 by a representative of Robert Collier publisher of Collier's Weekly. Other interested parties included William Jennings Bryan Samuel Gompers and Mark Twain. It was Collier who established the Lincoln Farm Association and beyond the purchase of the farm in Kentucky was instrumental in establishing the Lincoln Memorial in Washington rendering this an important stop in the nation's recognition of the life of Abraham Lincoln. In near fine condition with toning and a few small losses to the edges. Framed. The entire piece measures 12.5 inches by 23.75 inches. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. In his Address at the Sanitary Fair in Baltimore Maryland in April of 1861 Lincoln stated: â€œThe world has never had a good definition of the word liberty and the American people just now are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men and the product of other menâ€™s labor. Here are two not only different but incompatible things called by the same name liberty. And it follows that each of the things is by the respective parties called by two different and incompatible namesâ€¦liberty and tyranny.â€ unknown

Pyle, Robert Michael [Lincoln Brower]Biblio.com

Walking the High Ridge: Life As Field Trip inscribed to butterfly specialist Lincoln Brower

20001944St. Paul: Milkweed 2000. First edition. Softcover. A truly lovely lepidopterist association copy inscribed on the half-title page: "July 27 For Linc Lincoln Brower & Linda with deep affection great pleasure in the recollection of days afield & long friendship and looking forward to walking your ridge again with you this fall from Bob 'For the Monarchs' Lep Soc 2001 -- Corvallis." Pyle has also made a butterfly-and-mountains sketch at the top of the page and Brower has added his initials and the date and place of the annual meeting of the Lepidopterist Society. Pyle also signs in full on the title page. Lincoln Brower was the foremost expert and conservation champion of the monarch butterfly which he studied for six decades publicizing its unique migration patterns across generations from North to Central America. See his New York Times obit. Among many zoological and conservation awards he was recipient of the E.O. Wilson Award from the Center for Biological Diversity. Pyle is likewise a renown lepidopterist but equally renown as a writer and is the winner of the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing among other honors. This book is in Milkweed's Credo series which "explores the essential goals concerns and practices of contemporary American writers whose work emphasizes the natural world and human community"; it is an autobiographical personal essay from Pyle in which he narrates and reflects on his career mainly through his love and pursuit of butterflies he weaves in too a wonderful snippet of the butterfly novel then in progress now finished Magdalena Mountain. A great association as such. Foremost ecocritic Scott Slovic provides a critical biography to follow and finally a comprehensive bibliography of Pyle's work including articles etc. is provided in which Lincoln Brower is mentioned at least once as a co-author of the scientific paper "Mexican-American Interchange of Western Monarchs and Their Floral Corridors." There was a simultaneous hardcover published in limited numbers; this is the paperback here crisp feeling as new but with very faint staining to the top edge of the text block thus near fine. With a price sticker on the rear wrap. A great association. Milkweed unknown

Kirstein had published a book on Tchelitchew's drawings in 1947 and would exhibition on him with catalogue in 1964 but the book discussed in the letter was not published. The letter begins: 'My dear dear Sweet Stephen We arrived here few days ago from Rome â€“ had most apauling sic weather on the way. After 2 montsh of heavenly hot divine italian weather in the middst sic of the sublime landscape â€“ of â€œCastelli Romaniâ€ â€¦ We lived in mddst of most lovely Corot I love italy â€“ I think I am in love with Italy â€“ whatever she is!!! It is my real true love . . . . Dear Dear Stephen'. He would love him to visit 'but helas we have no more a house there we have only very vague planes sic about how and where to spend our Winter as I don't think I will be able to spend it in Paris: the weather is too awful here in winter and it is all so grey: and people are so '. He returns to his love of 'italian beauty loveliness gayety â€œand forgetfullnessâ€. They are like the Cats: they attach themselves to you and - - - forget you as quick!' He thanks heavens that there are 'english people in the World â€“ they are the best friends one can have â€“ faithful loyal â€“ even when one doesnt see each other for years as you and geoffrey'. He compliments his appearance in 'your photos â€“ you are looking very well and I think it is better to gain some weight as I try to do myself â€“ when one is too thin one has no physical resistance at all and all life is such terrible physical struggle'. He himself has 'no physical force at all â€“ onely my poor nerves â€“ as you know - - - - -'. The second page begins: 'Paris put on for us her most lovely april weather! - simply amazing â€“ divine â€“ faces are more smiling. Senses more elegant boys have sensitife aphroddisiacly hunted Faces â€“ so like so to the â€œAnimal beauty2 of Italy so refined so sensitif too.' Regarding Stephen's 'drawings to exhibit in N.

He writes it all ready for two years â€“ but being all time distracted he is too busy â€“ he probably will succede this year! I wouldn't bother about him nor can you expect any commission in the Theater in U.S.A. as for that you have to belong to a Scenic Designers Union â€“ pay $500 initial fee' $10 a month % on all commissions but before all â€“ you have to succede in passing a very complicated examination full of mathematical perspectives etc. which I am afraid you are not too well acquainted with and it would be a terrible task to learn it all'. Tchelitchew 'left this wretched Union myself as the theater in U.S.A. does not interest me at all â€“ it is all so commercial â€“ not like Europe.' He continues: 'Stephen dear what are your planes about this Spring and Summer. I am trying to show my new work. Paris as far as people and their work goes â€“ is not more the City we knew â€“ it is like a city filled with flys in September'. The letter concludes with text upside-down at the head of the first page: 'I suppose it was really allways that way onely we were different â€“ now we see it as it is . . . so let me know all about you â€“ and please send all you can photograph of my work in your possession here â€“ it will be wonderful and Linc. Kirstein will be very pleased too. love from Charles and from me â€“ as ever Pavel'. See "Edith Sitwell: Avant garde poet English genius" By Richard Greene for background and foreground.

1864 Campaign Blames McClellan’s Failures on Lincoln Comparing the President’s Treatment of McClellan and Grant

186424901.02"with the same determination to divide the country unless they can secure universal abolition we are exposed to the same dangers every day and God only knows in what unlucky hour our ruin may be consummated. Compare his policy with McClellan's expression of readiness to receive any State when its people offer to submit to the Union."This Democratic Party campaign pamphlet quotes an April 1864 letter to argue that Lincoln gave Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant free rein to conduct the war after having interfered with and micromanaged McClellan's Peninsula Campaign in 1862. The publication also declared that Republicans were stained with "The Taint of Disunion" and quoted from Republican speeches and editorials to insist that the Democrats were the party of "UNION AND PEACE." ABRAHAM LINCOLN.Printed Document. Democrat Campaign "Document No. 12" with headings "Lincoln's Treatment of Gen. Grant" "Mr. Lincoln's Treatment of Gen. McClellan" and "The Taint of Disunion." New York 1864. 8 pp. 5Â¾ x 8â… in. Excerpts:Lincoln to Grant April 30 1864"I wish to express in this way my entire satisfaction with what you have done up to this time so far as I understand it. The particulars of your plans I neither know nor seek to know. You are vigilant and self-reliant; and pleased with this I wish not to obtrude any restrains or constraints upon you while I am very anxious that any real disaster or capture of our men in great numbers be avoided." p1/c1"Such in brief are some of the most notable instances in which Mr. Lincoln interfered with General McClellan when he occupied a position similar to that held by General Grant. They reflect so severely upon the President that no attempt to gloss them over by his apparent subsequent repentance can disabuse the patriotic portion of the nation of the matured conviction that he is to be held responsible for the lack of decisive victories in Eastern Virginia. The blame must and will rest upon him to whom it belongs." p5/c2"Having shown by copious extracts from the speeches of Abraham Lincoln W. H. Seward Wendell Phillips Wm. Lloyd Garrison and from the editorial writings of the Chicago Tribune and the N. Y. Tribuneâ€¦ that they were all original secessionists and disunion men we propose now to give the evidence that Mr. Lincoln himself has within the last three months been concerned in a movement to make peace with Jeff. Davis on terms involving the direct proposal to divide the Union and let the South go." p7/c2-p8/c1"with the same determination to divide the country unless they can secure universal abolition we are exposed to the same dangers every day and God only knows in what unlucky hour our ruin may be consummated. Mark how Mr. Lincoln constantly keeps up the idea of negotiating only with Jefferson Davis. Why does he never address himself to the people or the States of the South. Compare his policy with McClellan's expression of readiness to receive any State when its people offer to submit to the Union." p8/c2Historical BackgroundThe 1864 presidential election pitted President Lincoln against his Democratic challenger General George B. 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.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.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.
