Abraham Lincoln A Guide for Teachers By Phyllis Connolly Published by Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentcnnial Commission Centennial Building, Springfield, Illinois 1960 9 7^'* /^o.' Lin^oU ^^* Preface "He was incontestably the greatest man I ever knew." So spoke Ulysses S. Grant of his commander in chief, Abraham Lincoln. Grant's judgment has, through the years, been reiterated by numerous his- torians and reaffirmed by their discoveries of hitherto unknown docu- ments and other historical materials relating to the Sixteenth President. In fact the greatness of Lincoln is such that his life has become the epitome of the American dream — the rise from humble beginnings to a position of respect and influence. In a world of uneasy peace, scourged too often by war, his name serves as a beacon for those who believe in and strive to achieve a society in which men can live in freedom and dignity. Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809. One hundred and fifty years later the world paid tribute to him. In the nation's capi- tal the Congress of the United States met in joint session to hear the great Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg read a tribute to the man who preserved the Union. In his home town of Springfield, Illinois, Lincoln was honored at a glittering banquet whose featured speaker, Willy Brandt, governing mayor of West Berlin, reminded the world that the problem of a "house divided" is as real today as it was in Lin- coln's time. The Springfield banquet was sponsored by the Illinois Lincoln Ses- quicentennial Commission. Believing that the study of Lincoln's life should be an important part of the history curriculum in our schools, the Commission is publishing this booklet. It contains suggested topics for study and classroom projects, and it lists, though by no means in- clusively, bibliographical and audio-visual materials pertaining to Lin- coln. The Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission will soon cease to exist. But the spirit of the man it commemorates continues to live. Acknowledgments This teachers' guide was prepared at the request of the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission, of which Newton C. Farr is Chairman and Clyde C. Walton is Secretary, and under the direction of its Education Committee, headed by Dr. Robert G. Bone, President of Illinois State Normal University. The writing and compilation of the pamphlet were made substantially easier by the researches of Dr. Charles H. Coleman of Eastern Illinois University, Mrs. Olive S. Foster and Janice Metros of the editorial staff of the Illinois State Historical Library, James T. Hickey, curator of the Lincoln Collection of the Historical Library, and Mrs. Winifred Metzler and Ruth Zim- merman of Illinois State Normal University. The au- thor also wishes to express thanks to Mrs. Ellen T. Whitney and Howard F. Rissler of the editorial staff of the Illinois State Historical Library who supervised the pamphlet's publication. The maps were drawn by my husband and favorite artist, Jerome P. Connolly.

"I was in Captain Abraham Lin- coln's company during the Black Hawk War . . ." "I heard Lincoln defend Duff Armstrong . . ." "I saw Lincoln inaugurated Presi- dent . . ." "I heard Lincoln speak at Gettys- burg . . ." Study Lincoln in prose and poetry. Books and poems about Lincoln are described on pages 8-13. Have classes, especially in English, speech, and history, memorize Lincoln's Gettys- burg Address, his Farewell Address at Springfield, and portions of his Second Inaugural Address and House Divided Speech. An authoritative source for these and other speeches is The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, 9 vols., Roy P. Basler, ed., Marion D. Pratt and Lloyd A. Dun- lap, asst. eds. "When Lincoln came to our town (or one nearby) he saw . . ." Study your community as it was in Lincoln's time. Topics that could be of special interest are: Schools — How many were there? Who went to them? What did the students study? Homes — What did the houses look like a century ago? How were they furnished? What foods were eaten, and how were they prepared? Publications — What books did peo- ple read in Lincoln's time? How big were newspapers, and how was news gathered? Recreation — How did people amuse themselves in Lincoln's day? If your town or county has a historical society, it can help you to find source material. Also, ( 1 ) Consult Lincoln, Day by Day, published in four volumes by the Abraham Lincoln Association, Springfield, Illinois, 1933-41. This series has been revised by the national Lincoln Sesquicen- tennial Commission and two vol- umes were issued in February, 1960, with a final volume to fol- low later in the year — the title is Lincoln Day by Day: A Chro- nology, 1809-1865. (2) Look under the name of your town in the general Index to the Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society, Vols. 1-25, April 1908-Jan. 1933; Vol. 26, 1933, to date: each volume has a separate index. (3) Consult the centennial edition of your local newspaper. (4) Consult a history of your county, which should be avail- able in your public library.

In the two cities most closely connected with Lincoln's rise to fame — Springfield and Chi- cago — are historical institutions whose collections of Lincolniana are outstanding. School groups may wish to visit any or all of the historic sites described below. Their location is shown on the map on the next page. Numbers in parentheses correspond to those on the map. In 1830 the Lincoln family, in- cluding twenty -one -year -old Abra- ham, left their Indiana home to set- tle in Illinois. The site near Law- renceville where the Lincolns crossed the Wabash River on their migration is now marked by the Lincoln Trail Monument (1). Designed by sculp- tress Nellie V. Walker, the monu- ment shows young Lincoln walking beside an ox-drawn wagon. The first Illinois home of the Lin- colns was a crude log cabin overlook- ing the Sangamon River some eight miles southwest of Decatur, near U.S. Highway 36. The site of the cabin in the Lincoln Trail Home- stead State Park (2) is marked by a plaque. After his first winter in Illinois, Thomas Lincoln moved his family (with the exception of his son Abra- ham, who had decided to strike out on his own) to Coles County in east- ern Illinois. Here Thomas Lincoln lived on four different farms, finally settling in 1837 on a farm that is now the site of Lincoln Log Cabin State Park (3), south of Charleston near State Route 130, A replica of the Lincoln cabin has been erected on the site of the original homestead. The park has a shelter house and service area for the convenience of tourists. Three miles west of the Lincoln Cabin is the Shiloh Cemetery (4) where the Emancipator's father and stepmother are buried. Also in the vicinity of the park, near Lerna, is the Moore Home (5), a state me- morial, where Lincoln visited his stepmother in 1861 shortly before he left for Washington to be inaugurated President. In the same year that Thomas Lin- coln settled in Coles County (1831), his son Abraham took up residence in a pioneer village some twenty miles northwest of Springfield. The town disappeared less than a decade later, but today visitors to New Salem State Park (6) will see the village as it ap- peared in Lincoln's time. New Salem is one of the outstanding examples of historical restoration in the United States. At regular intervals during the day guides conduct tours of the park. New Salem State Park has excel- lent facilities for tourists. Picnickers 19 v_--0 Lincoln Ospringfield (?) ^^ o Charleston Vincennes Oi Lincoln Sites in Illinois will find tables, fireplaces, and water, while a large area has been set aside for public camping. There are public restrooms. A refreshment stand, sou- venir shop, and bookshop near the entrance to the village proper are popular attractions. The first Lin- coln-Berry store is also a postoffice and souvenir shop. Mail sent from the village bears the postmark "Lin- coln's New Salem, Illinois." Three of Lincoln's New Salem friends are buried near the park. The grave of Ann Rutledge is in Oakland Cemetery (7) southwest of the town of Petersburg, while the remains of Mentor Graham, Lincoln's teacher. lie in Farmer's Point Cemetery (8) south of New Salem along State Route 97. A little to the south and two miles west of that cemetery is the Rock Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery (9) where Lincoln's store partner, William F. Berry, is buried. Abraham Lincoln, Representative from Sangamon County, attended three sessions of the Illinois General Assembly in the Vandalia Statehouse ( 10) , which is now a state memorial. (Vandalia was the state capital from 1822 to 1837.) Visitors to the old statehouse will see the rooms fur- nished much as they were in Lin- coln's day. On the statehouse grounds 20 Is the famous "Madonna of the Trail" statue, one of a series of monu- ments marking the old National Road, of which Vandalia was the terminus. Lincoln settled in Springfield early in 1837, shortly after the legislature had decided to make the city the state capital and only a few weeks after he was admitted to the bar. Over the next twenty-odd years law- yer Lincoln built up a thriving prac- tice in the capital city and along the Eighth Judicial Circuit. In those days judges traveled to the various county seats in their districts to hold court. Lawyers from cities such as Spring- field usually went from town to town with the judge to represent clients in the smaller towns. Lincoln, in fact, spent almost half of each year riding the Eighth Circuit, which at one time or another included Logan, McLean, Tazewell, DeWitt, Vermilion, Cham- paign, Woodford, Mason, Sangamon, Christian, Moultrie, Shelby, Edgar, and Piatt counties. Three courthouses where Lincoln undoubtedly tried cases are now state memorials. From 1839 to 1847 the Logan County seat was Postville. In 1953 the Logan County Historical Society donated to the State of Illi- nois the land on which the original Postville Courthouse (11) had stood — a tract in the southwest part of the town of Lincoln, Illinois. The state has since erected a replica of the courthouse on the site and plans eventually to furnish the rooms as they originally appeared. Visitors may tour the building. There are public restrooms in the basement. Lincoln is the only town named for the Emancipator during his lifetime (1853) and is also the site of Lin- coln College, which maintains a per- manent Lincoln exhibit and other historical displays open daily to the public. In 1847 the Logan County seat was moved, and circuit court cases were tried in the Mt. Pulaski Courthouse (12). The rooms have been restored and are gradually being furnished with period pieces. An item of historic interest on display is Judge David Davis' gavel. A fine example of Greek Revival architecture is the Metamora Court- house (13), built in 1845 when the town was the Woodford County seat. On the first floor of the building is an exhibit of pioneer implements; the former courtroom is on the second floor. Although not a state memorial, the old Cass County Courthouse (14) in Beardstown was the scene of one of lawyer Lincoln's most famous cases — the Duff Armstrong trial. The courthouse now houses a museum. In 1858, the year of the Armstrong trial, Abraham Lincoln engaged in a series of debates with Illinois' Little Giant, Stephen A. Douglas, during a campaign for election to the United States Senate. Details of the Lincoln- Douglas debates are said to have been made final at a meeting of the two contestants on July 29, 1858, at the home of Francis E. Bryant in Be- ment. Douglas was then a guest of Bryant, and Lincoln was in the town that evening to catch a train. The Bryant Cottage ( 15), preserved in its 21 original condition, is now a state me- morial and is open to visitors from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Plaques mark the sites of the seven Lincoln-Douglas debates, which were held in the towns of Ottawa, Freeport, Jones- boro, Charleston, Galesburg, Quincy, and Alton. For the Lincoln student, a journey to Springfield is virtually a "must." Once in the capital city, he will, in all likelihood, wish to begin his tour by visiting Lincoln's Home. Located at the northeast corner of Eighth and Jackson streets, this two-story struc- ture is the only home Abraham Lin- coln ever owned. Here three of his children were born and one died, and here, on May 19, 1860, he received formal notification of his nomination for the presidency. The home, which contains many of the original fur- nishings, has been painstakingly re- stored to resemble as much as possi- ble its appearance when the Lincolns lived here. It is open to the public every day, except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day, from 8 : 30 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the vicinity of the Lincoln Home are several souvenir shops, and directly across the street is a small, privately operated Lincoln Museum. School groups accompanied by their teachers are admitted free. Individ- ual admission fees are $.25 for adults and $.10 for children from seven to twelve years of age. Children under seven are admitted free. A building closely associated with Abraham Lincoln is the Sangamon County Courthouse, said by some au- thorities to be the most historic build- ing west of the Alleghenies. Located on the public square in the heart of downtown Springfield, the structure served as the Illinois statehouse from 1840 to 1876. Here Lincoln sat as a member of the Twelfth General As- sembly (1840-41), and here also he argued some two hundred cases be- fore the Illinois Supreme Court. In this building he delivered his famous House Divided Speech on June 16, 1858, and here, on May 3 and 4, 1865, the body of the assassinated President lay in state. Springfield's — and Illinois' — most famous citizen is buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery in the capital city along with his wife and three of their four sons. Lincoln's Tomb was dedicated in 1874 and has since been twice re- constructed. Inside the tomb, visitors will see a model of the Daniel Ches- ter French statue of the Sixteenth President which is in the Lincoln Me- morial in Washington, D.C. Along the corridors to and from the burial chamber are statuettes showing Lin- coln at various stages in his career. Over the north window in this room are inscribed Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton's famous words, "Now he belongs to the ages." Other Springfield sites connected with Lincoln, many of which are marked by bronze plaques, are listed below. For their location in the city consult the map on the next page. Numbers on the map correspond to the list numbers. 22 A Springfield Guide 1. Site of the home of Ninian W.

Smith store, south side Courthouse Square near Sixth St. In a back room on the third floor above his brother-in-law's store, the newly elected President wrote his First In- augural Address. The desk Lincoln used is now displayed in the Illinois State Historical Library. The Illinois State Historical Li- brary, on the third floor east of the Centennial Building, has one of the largest collections of Lincoln docu- ments in the United States. (It is sur- passed only by the Library of Con- gress and the National Archives.) Visitors to the Library will see many of these documents on display. Chief of these is a copy of the Gettysburg Address in Lincoln's handwriting — one of five in existence. Lincoln wrote this copy at the request of orator Edward Everett, with whom he had shared the platform at Gettysburg. It was then sold at a fair for the bene- fit of Civil War soldiers. The copy eventually was purchased by the school children of Illinois with the assistance of Marshall Field and given to the Library in 1944. Also on display in the Horner Lincoln Room of the Library are various articles be- longing to the Lincolns and paint- ings and busts of the Emancipator. Elsewhere in the Library the visitor will see the desk upon which Lincoln wrote his First Inaugural Address, a bookcase from the Lincoln and Hern- don law office, and Edward Baker Lincoln's tombstone. ("Eddie" was the Lincolns' second son. He died in 1850, shortly before his fourth birth- day.) School groups can arrange to hear a talk on the Library's Lincoln exhibits by writing to James T. Hickey, Curator of the Lincoln Col- lection, Illinois State Historical Li- brary, Centennial Building, Spring- field, Illinois. The Library also has Lincoln souvenirs for sale. The Chicago Historical Society, among its many excellent exhibits, has a series of twenty dioramas de- picting the life of Lincoln. The So- ciety building is open to the public every day without charge. School groups will be given conducted tours of certain exhibits, including the Lincoln dioramas, if arrangements are made in advance. Inquiries should be directed to Miss Sarajane Wells, Educational Director, Chicago Historical Society, North Avenue at Clark Street, Chicago 14, Illinois. 24 This booklet was published by the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicen- tennial Commission, appointed by Governor William G.
