This edition of Daniel J. Ryan's Lincoln and Ohio, a cooperative reprint by the Ohio Historical Society and Old Hundredth Press, offers a new generation of readers insight into the ties between our sixteenth president and the Buckeye State. Originally published in 1923-within the lifetime of some of Lincoln's contemporaries-this book provides fascinating detail not often found in more general treatments of Lincoln and the Civil War: depictions of the stops Lincoln made in Ohio on the way to his inaugural, the text of letters between Lincoln and various Ohio officials, and the names and hometowns of Ohio's presidential electors, for example. Also of interest are the extended treatments of speeches made-both by and to Lincoln-during his time in Ohio, of Lincoln's political battles with Dayton-area congressman Clement Vallandigham, and of the Buckeye State's memorial honors for the assassinated president. For the twenty-first century reader, Lincoln and Ohio offers perspectives on everyday life in the 1860s, showing how the average person's experience intersected with national politics. It's an excellent complement to the "big picture" histories of the Civil War, providing the kind of detail that makes history come alive.

Originally published in 1865, only months after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, this book provides an intriguing contemporary view of American society in those eventful days. This new edition of The Journeys of Abraham Lincoln contains the entire text of William T. Coggeshall's nineteenth-century work, with light updating of spelling, punctuation, and capitalization-plus a complete new index of proper names. Describing the contact Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland had with our sixteenth president, here is fascinating detail of Lincoln's life not often found in more general histories: of the crowds and processions that welcomed the president to cities and towns along the route of his preinaugural rail trip to Washington; of what was said to and by him; even of the signs and banners posted to encourage the man who faced, in his own words, "a task such as did not rest upon the Father of his Country." Lincoln's posthumous rail journey, reversing his earlier route from Springfi eld to Washington, is also recorded, relating complete funeral orations spoken over the president's remains at various stopping places. The Journeys of Abraham Lincoln will give you greater insight into the man who gave "the last full measure of devotion" for our country.
