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
186124870<p>"<i>The Sanitary Commission is … of direct practical value to the nation in this time of its trial. It is entitled to the gratitude and confidence of the people… There is no agency through which voluntary offerings of patriotism can be more effectively made. A. Lincoln.</i>"</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HENRY W. BELLOWS.</b>Printed Circular Letter to "<i>the Loyal Women of America</i>." Washington D.C. October 1 1861. 3 pp. 8 x 10 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The United States Sanitary Commission USSC was a private relief agency to support sick and wounded Union soldiers and sailors. The idea began at a meeting of the Women's Central Relief Association of New York in April 1861 and was modeled on the British Sanitary Commission which operated during the Crimean War. The USSC set up and staffed hospitals and operated thirty soldiers' homes lodges and rest houses for traveling and disabled Union soldiers.</p><p>This circular urges American women to send contributions to the USSC for distribution to suffering servicemen. "<i>Every woman in the country can at the least knit a pair of woolen stockings</i>" the letter declared "<i>or if not can purchase them.</i>" The USSC sought blankets quilts pillows slippers delicacies such as cocoa and dried fruit checker and backgammon boards and books and magazines for convalescing soldiers and sailors. Before it was printed Frederick Law Olmsted wrote to Lincoln requesting "a line from the President recommending the purpose of the Commission to the confidence of the public." Lincoln's response sent the same day is included at the end.</p><p>7000 affiliated local societies held bazaars concerts raffles and plays to raise money. Beginning in the fall of 1863 major cities—including Chicago Cincinnati Brooklyn New York Pittsburgh Philadelphia St. Louis and Boston—held large sanitary fairs that lasted for weeks. With donations from many famous figures and artifacts for sale such as signed copies of the Emancipation Proclamation over the course of the war the USSC raised an estimated $5 million in cash and $15 million in in-kind contributions.</p><p>At first the Army Medical Bureau resented civilian involvement and questioned the use of women as nurses. Similar groups such as the Christian Commission argued that their counterparts were more interested in providing something for the upper classes to do in the war aside from fighting than they were in sympathizing with the plight of soldiers. But its success silenced most critics over time.</p><p>The USSC did provide significant opportunities for women to participate in the war effort. Dorothea Dix Mary Livermore and Mary Ann Bickerdyke held leadership roles. Novelist Louisa May Alcott was a nurse in a USSC hospital. One of its nurses Clara Barton became a founder of the American Red Cross. Many of the Northern women who were its grass roots workers developed an involvement in philanthropic and public affairs including the Civil Rights and Women's Suffrage movements.</p><p><b>Henry W. Bellows</b> 1814-1882 born in Boston graduated from Harvard College in 1832 and Harvard Divinity School in 1837. In 1839 he became the pastor of the First Congregational church in New York City. Gaining a reputation as a pulpit and lyceum speaker he became a leader of the Unitarian Church in America. From 1847 to 1866 Bellows edited the <i>Christian Inquirer</i> a weekly Unitarian newspaper. Bellows planned the United States Sanitary Commission and served as its only president from 1861 to 1878. In 1877 he became the first president of the first Civil Service Reform Association.</p> books

Our worthey and truly Union friend Parson N.N. Cowgill can give you a correct topography of our place and country.

The petition of which he is the bearer asking that Hickman be made a permanent military post I would most earnestly recommend to be granted knowing as I do that it will be of great benefit to the Union cause in this state. The Citizens of Hickman and Fulton Co gave a decided majority for the Union ticker at the late election which gives them a very powerful argument if not a claim for the protection of the government they serve. The government will be benefitted equally with the citizens by adopting the course proposed and the benefit both receive will be so much taken from the enemy who now occupy in little squads of guerrillas the whole country in that vicinity and run off every thing of value to their army which the can lay hands on. S Meridith Brig Genl.</i></p><p>on verso in hand of President Lincoln: <i>Submitted to the / Sec. of War who is / requested to see the / bearer. / A Lincoln</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Border-state loyalists implore President Lincoln to establish a permanent military post at Hickman. Because of daily raids by rebel forces which the Unionists have no power to repel the citizens of Hickman file their request with the endorsement of General Solomon Meredith commander of the District of Western Kentucky based in Paducah. Meredith who had led the "Iron Brigade" was transferred to a desk command because of a bad shrapnel wound suffered at Gettysburg.</p><p>The town of Hickman is located in extreme southwestern Kentucky near the Mississippi River. Though Unionist in orientation it was a center of cotton cultivation. Even after the Confederate Army of Tennessee commanded by Braxton Bragg retreated from Kentucky in October 1862 the state was beset by guerrilla warfare for the remainder of the conflict. There were famous raids conducted by Confederate cavalrymen John Hunt Morgan and Nathan Bedford Forrest. President Lincoln declared martial law in August 1864 suspending the writ of habeas corpus to empower Union commanders such as Meredith unilaterally to arrest Confederate spies sympathizers and bandits.</p> books

13236TWAIN MARK Clemens S. L. Lincoln Farm Association. LINCOLN FARM ASSOCIATION CERTIFICATE. n.p. n.d. printed in 1906; issued 1906-1909 Certificate 9 1/2 x 12 inches broadside. A handsome example. An appeal for funds to save Lincoln's birthplace had been sent out in 1906 signed in type by Twain and others. This certificate was sent to those who made donations in response to that initial appeal for funds. This handsome certificate has an engraving of Lincoln at top center the now familiar portrait that later appeared on the five dollar bill and contains the facsimile autographs of the original committee members: Mark Twain President Taft and more than a dozen others along with an bright orange seal affixed dated 1906 that uses the same profile of Lincoln that was later used on the Lincoln penny in 1909. In August 1905 Robert Collier Collier's Weekly purchased the Lincoln Farm. In April 1906 Collier Twain William Jennings Bryan Samuel Gompers William Howard Taft and others organized the Lincoln Farm Association. That same year they bought the Lincoln birthplace cabin from a New York businessman who had bought it in 1894 and taken it on tours of various cities. Their efforts raised more than $350000 to build a memorial in which to house the cabin. Teddy Roosevelt laid the cornerstone in 1909 and Taft dedicated the building in 1911. The site was made a national park in 1916 and the shrine is visited by thousands every year. We have handled several copies of this rare ephemera. cf. BAL 3495 recording the broadside appeal for funds but not this certificate. unknown books
