Knapp. -- Unpublished diary of Lincoln's navy secretary: private records of Gideon Welles give much inside history, intimate accounts of cabinet meetings and the personal bickerings of the leaders of the nation. -- Lincoln first talked of freedom of slaves riding to a funeral, mentioned subject to Welles and Seward, who were in the carriage, and asked their opinion. --Four women who helped mold Lincoln's character: filled with high aim by unlettered love of his "angel mother," born in log cabin and taken into wilderness as a child, he early was inured to hardship and toil. -- Girl who first won heart died ere he could claim her at altar, "I'll wed none but a president," his bride had vowed, bridegroom quailed when fateful day came, but married later. -- Roosevelt's estimate of Lincoln / by Theodore Roosevelt in American Review of Reviews. -- The love in Lincoln's nature / by president-elect William H. Taft in Cosmopolitan Magazine. -- Lincoln wisdom combined with wit in anecdotes: Grant's canal efforts compared to "fizzle," once forcibly ejected cashiered Army officer who made charge of injustice when he refused to act. -- Loud voiced youth is compared to whistle, praised McClellan as an admirable engineer but deplored his talent for the management of stationary engines. -- Lincoln was a Christian / by Rev.
