RE: The Bixby Letter
(01-13-2021 09:45 AM)David Lockmiller Wrote: President Lincoln did acknowledge that there was heroism on both sides of the American Civil War. I had a very difficult time finding an authoritative quote confirming the accuracy of this statement published in the Emanuel Hertz book. Professor Michael Burlingame wrote in Abraham Lincoln: A Life, Vol. Two, page 498: "The only consolation to Union forces [following the Battle of Chancellorsville] was the death of Stonewall Jackson, who was accidentally shot by his own men. (When John W. Forney published kind remarks about the fallen Confederate chieftain, Lincoln wrote the journalist: "I honor you for your generosity to one who, though contending against us in a guilty cause, was, nevertheless, a gallant man. Let us forget his sins over his fresh made grave.") (citation #181: Reminiscences of John W. Forney in a lecture delivered in Nov. 1865 before the Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society of Weldon, Pennsylvania, New York Evening Post, 30 Nov. 1865.) "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
