that idea came from seward and the first phrasing came from seward. lincoln changed it and made it his own. and many people think it is better. it is probably just the same with the gettysburg address. douglas wilson, very fine scholar, also suggested this is the case. one reason i think that might be the case too is that seward used the word perish p. lincoln did you use perish that often. it was not a favorite word of his. he does use it occasionally but perish from the earth, that is, i think, seward through and through. almost poetic but it does add a touch. so lincoln probably reads the speech to seward. after about 45 minutes or so, he talks to people at the house where seward is staying. his body guards have to take him through the crowd once again. back to the wills house. he returns to the wills house again and this again where speed said he concluded so shortly before delivery, did not have time to memorize it, that's when that night after the serenade, after talking to seward, he then finished his revisions, wrote out what he thought was go

the first phrasing came from seward. lincoln changed it and made it his own, and may think people -- and many people think it was better than seward's original. help lincoln with the first inaugural parade and is probably the same with the gettysburg address. seward like that word, pe rish. he used the exact phrase, parish from the air, in a speech before. lincoln did not use the word parish, that they -- perish, that day. is, to me,d, perish, seward through and through. so, it lincoln reads the speech to seward, and after half an hour or so, he talked to some of the people at the house were seward was saying. then, his bodyguards have to take them through the crowd, once again, back to the wills house. he returned to the will he does not have time to memorize it, that night after the serenade, after talking to seward, he then finished his revisions and wrote out what he thought was going to be the gettysburg address, the next day. the speech that lincoln wrote that evening at gettysburg, is an intermediate draft, in fac

it's better than seward's was originally. but seward did help with that first inaugural, the end of it. and it's probably the same as the gettysburg address. douglas williams, a very fine scholar has also suggested that that was the case. seward liked that word perish, he used exactly that phrase perish from the earth before, lincoln did not use perish that often, it was not a favorite word of his, but perish from the earth, i think that is seward through and through, it's wholly poetic, but it does add an unusual touch. he talks to some of the people at the household where seward is staying, then he has to, his body guards have to take him through the crowds once again, back to the wills house. he returns to the wills house then, and this again, where speed said he concluded so shortly before delivery, he did not have time to memorize it. that's when that night after the sara sar saranade, he made his revisions and wrote out what was to be the gettysburg address that next day. but the speech that lincoln wrote that night at

the guy we are sure sold him to lincoln was seward. seward had become a fan of meigs and a fan of the capitol dome, after being a critic of it, by the way. at the same time davis was a patron. seward and davis were complete opposites politically but they were friendly with each other. they shared this admiration for meigs. when lincoln came to town, seward pushed meigs in front of the president as a captain and they arranged for the first secret mission of the war. lincoln, without consulting his cabinet, ordered meigs to a forced to go to fort pickens and make sure they maintained control, which they did. after that, lincoln was very impressed and listened to seward. i do not know if there were others. i suspect seward was the main guy. >> [inaudible] you said that was what got you involved. robert: he was not involved -- i know only a little bit about the canal. it was a beautiful failure. the main connection is the proximity of the aqueduct to the canal. >> [inaudible] period of time in the early 1970's, it was a courthouse. i was a

it's probable, it's likely i think that seward did help linken with his speech. most likely the last few words of the speech, the poetry, you might say, we all know that stewart helped lincoln with the last few lines of the first inaugural. the mystic courts of memory. the idea came from stewart and the phrasing came from stewart. lincoln made his own. many people think it's better than stewart's originally. but stewart did provide help on the first inaugural. it's probably just the same with the gettysburg address. douglas wilson, a very fine scholar, one reason i think that might be the case, too, is that steward liked the word perish, he used exactly the phrase parish, in a speech before. inken did not use parish that often, it was not a favorite word of his. but perish from the earth, i think is seward through and through, it does add a beautiful touch. lincoln talks to steward, reads the speech to steward. after half an hour he talks to some of the people at the house where steward is staying. then he has to have bodyguards have to take him through the crowd

on the wall she wanted him out of the cabinet that it was obnoxious and rude and in fact william seward, two other cabinet members who infrequently so i two i sit you've got to write in another letter you're going to kill his political career so he ends up writing another letter of resignation. there is another instance in 1862 he comes to his defense and it's a very tepid defense mostly 18 about covering his administration's flank and less about coming to cameron's defense. these are uncharacteristic episodes in the political career. this is a man who would take an insult to the face and turn it around as a joke. in the second inaugural address he had quite a bit of malice and becomes the focal point of a lot of the frustrations in the early part of the war it is astonishing to stand back and look on the eve of the american civil war. the army had only about 16,000 men and most of them were outclassed picking fights with native americans. when lincoln: the fire they called for 75,000 volunteers and it's going to require explosive growth overnight. you have a country that isis designed
