Description
Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2: Drawn From Original Sources and Containing Many Speeches, Letters and Telegrams Hitherto Unpublished
Adjusting his spectacles and unrolling his manuscript, the President-elect turned his eyes upon the faces of the throng before him. It was the largest gathering that had been seen at any inauguration up to that date, variously estimated at from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand. Who of the men that composed it were his friends, who his enemies, he could not tell; but he did know that almost every one of them was waiting with painful eagerness to hear what answer he would make there to the questions they had been hurling at his head since his election.
