A compact survey divides six groups of men tied to Lincoln into shared fates and paths. It traces ties among Taylor Davis Anderson and Lincoln, Lincoln’s Springfield circle, Rochester with Van Buren, 1842 Whig conventions, early political bets, and the Ford’s Theatre tragedy and aftermath.
A mixed verse and prose collage recounts romantic memories and a heroic railway tragedy. It blends a love ballad with reflections on faith, optimism, and duty, closing with a tribute to a fallen railroad worker and a haunting meditation on life and loss.
A lamenting speaker recalls a woman who confronts a grave in a churchyard where a long wronged man lies unmarked. The bare stone marks his sleep while time passes with no visitor, and the question lingers why no one comes to weep.
A poetic meditation on hypocrisy using spider imagery. The speaker contrasts the gleam of summer with the spider’s silken trap and declares hypocrites share a hideous truth. The verses reflect moral censure and a somber tone.
The lines recall poets Jean Ingelow and Gerald Massey, praising children and unexpected joy. The verses contrast distant beauty and dying poets with fleeting happiness found in street corners, urging appreciation of quiet, living sources of delight.
A biographical sketch recalls Mary Todd Lincoln wife of Abraham Lincoln. Born to the Todd family in Kentucky, she married Lincoln in 1842 at Springfield. The narrative notes her sorrow during the Civil War and her enduring grief after his assassination.
Ernest W. McLean writes that he lived for others and for equal rights, choosing mercy with justice. He embodied humility and loyal steadfastness, making daily sacrifices on duty’s altar. His martyrdom of life surpassed that of death, securing immortality through belief in America’s enduring ideals.
