Lincoln's Fearless Rise From Chicago Hustle Honors Nomination
Senator Teller recalls a little known Lincoln anecdote from 1860. Lincoln visited Chicago to charm delegates and was quietly hustled away by Teller to avoid harming his chances, then returned to Springfield and won the Republican nomination three days later. Immigrant outreach via the Wisconsin Homeseeker promotes settlement and maps for new farmers, inviting letters from homesteaders and East readers.
