Excerpt from How We Elected Lincoln: Personal Recollections of Lincoln and Men of His Time, a Campaigner for Lincoln in 1860 and a Lincoln Elector in 1864 This book offers my personal recollections of the immortal Emancipator, and of the memorable campaigns of 1860 and 1864, in which, as a young man, I was actively engaged.
