The sympathy and passions that are stirred up within us by reading of Lincoln are accentuated by the witnessing of the adaptation on the screen. Lincoln's every mannerism, trait and eccentricity are pictured and while looking at it anyone with a drop of American blood in his veins is carried along by the current of innate patriotism and swallowed up at the confluence of many emotions. From the scene in front of the log cabin to the assassination at Ford's Theatre in Washington, one is gripped. Lincoln's courtship culminated in his marriage with Mary Todd. He struggles along in abject poverty until he is nominated for United States Senator. He opposes Stephen Douglas, and it was in his debate that he proved himself not only a rhetorician but a man of wholesome and broad-minded ideas. He was defeated but in 1860 was elected President. What happened subsequently is familiar to all Americans. Lincoln's Gettysburg address, succinct but powerful, is considered one of the gems of oratory.
