For New Salem was Abraham Lincoln's town during the six years which marked the first stageof his development from "a quaint „ knight-errant of the pioneers" to "a masterpiece of God." ? He arrived at New Salem in 1831 "a Stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a ftatboat for $10 a month," as he himself put it. In 1837 he left New Salem to take up his law practice in Springfield. , In those momentous six years he had trans-' formed himself from an ignorant and uncouth youth of twenty-two to a man of acknowledged™ promise and ability, with more than a local popu-^ T#WB 0*ta a POatofflce. pas good, and Samuel Hill and John McNeill presently erected a store building of logs. They sold 'tea, coffee, sugar, salt and whisky In the grocery litie, and blue calico, brown muslin, cotton chain aftd straw hats, with a few ladies' hats and other '•fnamental feminine apparel in their dry goods department. John McNeill's- right nane was John McNamer. He quickly made a "fortune" of about $12,000 and Wooed and won Ann Rutledge. Then he left to feftng his mother and sisters from New York. A long delay broke off the engagement and Lincoln tiken won Ann. McNamer returned to find Ann jdaad of fever. •tv: Life is a burden when the body is racked with pain.

It waa at New Salem that Lincoln earned his nickname-of "Honest Abe"--and incidentally fastened upon himself a burden of debt which he was never able fully to wipe out until his fortieth year, after blja election to congress In 1849. It was at New Salem that he was clerk and storekeeper; that he studied grammar and Blackstone ; that hex was a captain in the Black Hawk war, that he was deputy surveyor, that he was postmaster, that he was defeated ond then elected for the legislature. And it Was at New Salem that he loved and wooed and lost Ann Rutledge. over' whose death he nearly lost his reason from grief. New Salem was founded in 1828. Soon after Lincoln went to Springfield the little town began to decline. Its people left for more accessible places. By 1845 New Salem had been abandoned. Today, under the auspices of the Old Salem Lincoln League, an organization formed in 1917, "Honest Abe's" town is being restored in fae-. simile. It will be in every possible detail like the New Salem which he knew. Old maps, old prints./ old deeds--every record' obtainable--have been? consulted to make the new village an exact reproduction of the old. The only new building Is the ' Lincoln museum. William Randolflh Hearst gave *the property. The cost of rebuilding is being met by popular subscription. The work will 6e done some time this stammer, it is expected. Old 8alem State Park. % Old Salem State park will be New Salem's new :name. Its purpose is to preserve for posterity the ^ environment and atmosphere that helped make 'Lincoln, the man. As to the {Atotogrftphs here reproduced: The portrait of "Honest Abe" is one of the earliest photographs he had taken and gives the best Idea of his appearance as a young man. The numbered, plan is from the architect's working model. ? New Salem, first called Cameron's Mill, was on the Sangamon river (then spelled .Sangamc and pronounced Sangaraaw), 20 miles northwest of jSpringfleld. In those days New Salem was In Sangamon county, wl{h' Springfield as the county Beat. Springfield itself was still a mere village, 'having a fopulatlon of 1,000, or perhaps 1,100. The capital of the state was yet at Vandalia, and waiting for the parliamentary tact of Abraham Lincoln and the "long nine" to take it to Springfield. # The historian of the restoration project says that the first settlers of New Salem were John M. Cameron and his uncle, James Rut ledger who entered their claims on July 29, 1828. Here they isreoted their grist tad saw mills, both housed in one structure built out into the Sangamon river, that fringed the town site. New Salem grew up around this mill. Settlments existed already at Clary's Grovfe, at a place now called Athens, at Sugar Grove at Indian Point, all within ten or twelve miles of New Salem. With a mill to attract these settlers, the opportunity for business at th^ 'oew settlement I f " ^ ifl%' ' **On Christmas day In 1829," the historian oa to say, "a poet office was established in New Salem (and Samuel Hill was made postmaster. George Warburton then built a store building and pot In a stock of goods, but soon sold out to the Chrisman Brothers, one of whom, IsaA; P., became postmaster on November 24, 1831. William Clary, the brother of John, who gave his name to the gmvc where he settled in 1819, erected and . became proprietor of Clary's grocery. Then cant* Doctor Allen, who erected,** dwelling across tbo street south from the Hill & McNeill store. , *'In addition to his professional "duties Doctor Allen conducted a Sunday school. He was sn anient temperance man and formed the first temperance society in the community. The place of meeting was In his residence or in the log schoolhouse erected shortly before this time on the hillside south of New Salem. Doctor Allen was bothered as to whether it was right or wrong to engage in the practice of Ills profession on Sundays and compromised the matter by relieving the sick hat giving his earnings on that day wholly to the park of the Lord. v "Then, during the summer of 1830, Henry On- Stott moved from Sugar drove, erected a dwelling and established a cooper's shop, supplying tbo „ kegs and barrels for the Hour and meal made at the mill, and the containers for the cured pork shipped by flatboat to the markets of the South, Generally from Beardstown, to, which place It was hank'd in wagons. . , J j D e n t o n O l f u t A r r i v e f .

He was on his, way from Henrdstown to New Orleans, where he saw the selling of slaves and said, "If ever I ««t chance to bit that thing, I'll hit It hard." July 1, 1831, Lincoln walked into New Salem to serve ns clerk In the Offut store, when It should be ready. The town election at that lime wns held V during, the first week In August, and Lincoln, be- Iiir about the polling place, was asked by Mentor ** Graham, the mun who later became his friend and teacher, if he could write. Lincoln replied, "I can make a few rabiilt tracks," whereupon he was Invited In to assist In keeping folly, the regular's clerk having failed to appear. It Is said that during the lull in voting Lincoln Improved the op- - portunlty to tell stories. So here waa Lincoln's introduction to politics. But he was a finished story-teller even then. "Tom" Reed of Maine, the famous speaker of the house of representatives, once said, "A statesman Is a successful politican who is dead." The humor and sarcasm of this are exceeded only by Its value as a popular gauge of politics and politicians. But where Abraham Lincoln Is concerned ' all signs fail. He was a consummate politician • all his life, aad he never hesitated to seek public prefenneot. Llnaoln'a First Campaign, After "Honest Abe" had been Ui Wew Sa'em *jj$ a year or so he ran for the state legislature. He C - had already learned to write, as Is shown by his Vj announcement of his candidacy, which concludes •. thus: , "Every maa Is raid to have his peculiar ambition. Whether It be true or not, I can say. for one. that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellowmen by rendering myself worthy of their esteem. How far I shall succeed in gratifying this ambition is yet to be developed. I am young and unknown to many of you. I was bom and have ever remained in the most humble walks of life 1 have no wealth or popular relations or friends to recommend me. My case Is thrown exclusively upon the Independent voters of the county; and If elected, they will have conferred, a ftivor upon me for which I shall be unremitting in my labors to compensate, but if the good people in their wisdom shall see fit to keep iue in the backgrqund, I have been too familiar with disappointments to be very much chagrined." Well, Lincoln was beaten by Peter Cartwright, the Itinerant preacher whom he defeated in 1K4<> for congress. But New Salem went for "Honesi Abe" with 277 votes out of the 290 cast. And two years later he was triumphantly elected. Nobody ever saw any difference between the Abraham Lincoln of New Salem and the Abraham ^Lincoln of the White House. He never changed. Moreover, there was something in bis lowly origin ^nd In the story of his life that brought him close to the people as one of them. And In the development of the man there is no more fascinating chapter than New Salem, 1831-37.
