Abraham Lincoln is one of the United states best president. We know a great deal about him, both as a man and as a leader. He grew up in a long cabin.He was very honest. He was president during the civil war, and the helped end salvery at that time.
Some of the stories told about him. Others have become told about tales about legends. They give us more a sense of the man than simple facts.
This was reported by A.B Chandler, manager of postal telegraphs. He worked for the War department during the Civil War.
On New Year's morning, 1864, President Lincoln entered the War department building. He was always a bit jumpy. He had become very tense. He was irritated by haring a woman wailing over a child in her arms. Major Eckert asked the woman why she was crying. He brought back the painful but not surprising explanation. She was the wife of soldier. She had come to washington with her baby, expecting to have no difficulty in getting a pass to see her husband. She learned that this was not true. If she werenthe wife of an officer, she could easily get such a pass. Her husband, though, was a private.
