Much about the early life of Abraham Lincoln...
Item # 708770
December 31, 1865
NEW YORK TIMES, Dec. 31, 1865 Page 3 has column heads: "Abraham Lincoln" "The Character of His Life as Seen by his Law Partner".
Taken from a lecture delivered at Springfield by Wm. H. Herdon, Lincoln's law partner for twenty years, the first part vividly describes Lincolns appearance, various physical attributes and more. The second part discusses Lincolns complex mind.
Also on page 3: "Mr. Lincoln's Early Life" "A Visit to One of His Humble Friends". This is another fine article with more about Lincoln's qualities and disposition from his early days. Fascinating reading.
Eight pages, some archival mends near margins with one non-archival mend to page 6, wear with small tears at the margins.
