John W. Starr

4.9/5 (29475 ratings)

Description:Excerpt:"April the fourteenth, 1865, was a day of general thanksgiving throughout the northern states of the Union. After four years of fratricidal strife, General Lee had surrendered, and the early capitulation of Johnston's army was looked for.The President had selected this date also, as being especially fitting on which to have the re-raising of the Flag over Fort Sumter. It would then have been exactly four years since it had been lowered there. General Robert Anderson, commandant of the Fort at the time of surrender, had been selected as the one who should hoist the identical flag lowered by him in 1861, when the opening guns of the war of the rebellion were fired.It was also Good Friday on the church calendar, and as such was observed by a certain portion of the people in fasting and religious meditation.The city of Washington, particularly, seemed to catch the spirit then pervading the North, and, as one writer puts it, 'was in gala attire.'"So begins John William Starr's account of Abraham Lincoln's last days. Though relatively short (100 pages of printed text), it is a riveting recollection of events in Lincoln's life leading up to the assassination. It also refutes some of the other "last day" accounts that had been previously published.Originally published in 1922.
