Lincoln and Episodes of the Civil War (Classic Reprint)

In the period between the close of the war and 1909, the writer was too much occupied in professional and other labors to give attention to the publication of these recollections and they remained untouched, in manuscript. During 1909, however, many requests came to him from all parts of the country for copies of an address on A braham Lincoln which the writer had delivered in that year before Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The suggestion was also repeatedly made that he write out and publish, for preservation in permanent form, not only that address, but any other recollections that he might have about the war, including particularly those associated with theO ld Capitol Prison jand the conspiracy trial, topics alluded to in that address.
