Title	Lincoln's Lost Speech publication party program, page 1 and 2
Subject	Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865--Pictorial works.
Time Period	1860s
Description	On page 1 consists of a book review of Lincoln’s Lost Speech by Elwell Criseey discussed by Harry Barnard of Wilmette, Illinois. The book review appeared in the fall 1967 issue of the Lincoln Herald. In which, Barnard writes, “Mr. Crissey’s Lincoln’s Lost Speech constitutes an important contribution to Lincolnianna. It is important not only with respect to Lincoln literature, but to American history generally. Its scholarship is sound, and it is superbly written. Wholly fresh insights into Abraham Lincoln’s career would seem at this late date too much to expect. None the less, this book contains them. This volume also fills a scholarship void; its assembly of facts concerning the famous oration Abraham Lincoln delivered at Bloomington, Illinois, May 29, 1856, is the most complete that has ever been set down. The author has covered every facet of this crucial episode in Lincoln’s career. Beyond question, I think, he proves his theme, namely: that Lincoln’s Lost Speech was decisive factor in the emergence of Lincoln as a national leader destined for the Presidency. From now on, historians will have to pay more attention to that speech. Moreover, Lincoln’s Lost Speech is a fascinating study, presenting the acrimonious pros and cons about Lincoln’s stupendous oration, together with the various controversial viewpoints taken by a number of scholars. The author handles these elements so skillfully they seem to develop some of the suspense that makes a good mystery story. This book should have immense appeal to Lincoln buffs. Almost equally it should appeal to readers interested in re-living that strange paranoid era in our nation during the 1830’s, ‘40’s and ‘50’s – the gestation period of our American Civil War. I do not know of any other writer who has recreated the slavery issue in American with equal emotional impact, yet without sacrificing sound scholarship. Mr. Crissey handles his Book One, The Approach of the Slavery Crisis, with splendid discipline; narrating these moving events with justifiable passion and also with artistry. A plus in this remarkable book is its roster of notable men who attended the Bloomington Convention and heard Lincoln’s Lost Speech. The author has compressed into meaty thumbnail biographies the personalities of seventy leaders who organized Illinois’ Republican Party and later hoisted Lincoln up into the national limelight. An astonishing number of them subsequently achieved military and/or political fame. This volume, I predict, will become the definitive work on Lincoln’s Bloomington Speech. Probably, also, it will stir some healthy controversy.” Page 2 contains the copy of “Angry Lincoln” portrait of Abraham Lincoln draw by Lloyd Ostendorf of Dayton, Oho in 1965. Lincoln is depicted in an angry rage.
