Excerpt from Lincoln and Herndon
Similarly, the Illinois Historical Society was most helpful, and Mrs. Annie Fleury, a daughter of Mr. Herndon, rendered every aid within her power.
Such a study suggests many reflections. One who looks back over that stormy era, when the life of the nation hung in a balance, will have no need to walk the floor for fear of the future, assured that should an hour of danger strike a man will step forth to meet it. Having weathered such a storm, this republic has nothing to fear except a decay of man hood, a forgetting of principles, and a fading of ideals. Once divided in all save name, it is now united in fact, in spirit, in historic memories, and patriotic hopes - Lincoln himself a mystic cord of memory, of more power for the safety and sanctity of the nation than its army and navy. So it will be in times to come, if its citizens here highly resolve to fol low no leader who, in his private character and public coun S'els, does not practice a like moderation, justice, firmness, and gentleness of spirit.
If this book, written by the son of a Southern soldier, as sists, even in a little way, to a clearer understanding of the greatest figure in our history, who was at once a child of the South and a leader of the North, it will have done what it was Sincerely meant to do. J. F. N.
