Civil War

Lincoln's Yarns and Stories
By: Colonel Alexander K. McClure
We think of Abraham Lincoln as a great president, the man whose Emancipation Proclamation freed more than four million slaves, was a keen politician, profound statesman, shrewd diplomatist, a thorough judge of men and possessed of an intuitive knowledge of affairs. He was the first Chief Executive to die at the hands of an assassin.
But 'Honest Abe' was a story teller and humorist bar none. He had an innate sense of timing and understanding of when to use humor. One is reminded that perhaps Lincoln understood the story telling power that Jesus had and used, and that perhaps this man tried to emulate Jesus.

Captains of the Civil War
By: William Wood
Sixty years ago today the guns that thundered round Fort Sumter began the third and greatest modern civil war fought by English-speaking people. This war was quite as full of politics as were the other two--the War of the American Revolution and that of Puritan and Cavalier. But, though the present Chronicle never ignores the vital correlation's between statesmen and commanders, it is a book of warriors, through and through. -- William Wood
