Newspaper and periodical clippings, most unidentified, dating from ca. 1900 to 1938, assembled by an unknown compiler.

Miscellaneous clippings on various Lincoln-related topics, many obviously from the same series of articles almost certainly from the Chicago daily news, but including clippings from other sources as well. Includes a reprint of Edwin Markham's "Lincoln--the man of the people", probably as printed on 12 February 1909, and a tightly clipped copy of "Address of Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of Gettysburg Cemetery" as calligraphed by Edward B. Edwards and printed in color in the magazine of the Sunday record-herald (Chicago), 29 May 1910.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Album consisting of 12 leaves with pockets on both sides, containing clippings and detached articles relating to Abraham Lincoln, arranged according to a table of contents written on the inside front cover. Some materials too large for pockets laid in.

Bound scrapbook consisting primarily of newspaper clippings regarding of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination, as well as his funeral, the search for and apprehension of the conspiritors, and the subsequent trial, along with accounts of the conclusion of the U.S. Civil War. The final third of the scrapbook, while still containing some Lincoln material, consists of a more general array of newspaper clippings, including President Andrew Johnson's impeachment trial, as well as numerous humor pieces. The scrapbook was bound by J.B. Sandlin of Valparaiso, Indiana, but no provenance information is available.
