1865 Abraham Lincoln 1st Life & Assassination 16th US President by Williamson

1865 Abraham Lincoln 1^st Life & Assassination 16^th US President by Williamson

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”

― Abraham Lincoln

Shortly after Abraham Lincoln’s death, a number of biographical sketches or ‘life of Lincoln’s’ were published. “The life, and martyrdom of Abraham Lincoln” is a survey of Lincoln’s life and events following his death, including various funeral orations. Probably hastily produced and published in the same year if not shortly after the funeral to meet the demand of the grieving public.

Note on dating: The copyright page suggests the book was published in 1864; however, the contents include extensive descriptions of Lincoln’s assassination in 1865.
