Lincoln's Connections with the Illinois & Michigan Canal, His Return from Congress in '48 and His Invention
Language: English
Published by Illinois Bell, 1986
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Condition is Near Fine in a soft cover. Top left corner has small sticker residue. Black and white illustrations. Abraham Lincoln supported the Illinois & Michigan Canal, first as a legislator and later as President, advocating for national funding to complete it. His return from Congress in 1848 coincided with the canal's completion and the incident that inspired his invention, a device for lifting boats over shoals. This invention, patented on May 22, 1849, was inspired by a childhood incident and a grounding while he was a congressman, but his law partner deemed it impractical. Connections to the Illinois & Michigan Canal Early support: As an Illinois state legislator, Lincoln voted to fund the I&M Canal and later became a lobbyist for its construction. Advocacy: He consistently supported the canal, arguing that its benefits, like lowering shipping costs, extended to the entire nation, not just Illinois. White House years: He continued to advocate for the canal and other national infrastructure improvements throughout his presidency. Return from Congress in 1848 Canal completion: The I&M Canal was completed in 1848, and Lincoln publicly announced its opening and the benefits it offered to trade. Inspiration for invention: While a congressman, he experienced another boat grounding incident, which prompted him to renew his efforts on a solution for river navigation. Patent: He filed for a patent on March 10, 1849, for his invention to lift boats over shoals, and received it on May 22, 1849. His invention The device: Lincoln's invention was a mechanism with inflatable chambers on the sides of a boat that would be used to lift the vessel over shallow obstructions. Inspiration: The idea originated from his youthful experiences on flatboats getting stuck on river obstacles, a problem that recurred and motivated him to find a practical solution. Outcome: Although Lincoln was the only U.S. president to receive a patent, the device was never put into production, and his law partner considered it impractical. The only one ever built was the scale model now housed at the Smithsonian.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: New. From the legendary Lincoln scholar Wayne C. Temple comes the long-awaited full-length biography of Noah Brooks, the influential Illinois journalist who championed Abraham Lincoln in Illinois state politics and became his almost daily companion at the White House. Best remembered as one of the president's few true intimates, Brooks was also a nationally recognized man of letters, who mingled with the likes of Mark Twain and Bret Harte. Temple draws on archives and papers long thought lost to re-create Brooks's colorful life and relationship with Lincoln. Brooks's closeness to the president made him privy to Lincoln's thoughts on everything from literature to spirituality. Their frank conversations contributed to the wealth of journalism and personal observations that would make Brooks's writings a much-quoted source for historians and biographers of Lincoln. A carefully researched and well-documented scholarly resource, Lincoln's Confidant is the story of an extraordinary friendship by one of the luminaries of Lincoln scholarship.
