Excerpt from Mountain Herald: February-March 1919 If there ever lived a purely kindly man it was Abraham Lin coln. He was at great effort to effect a suitable and agreeable exchange for a nephew of Alexander H. Stephens, vice-president of the Confederacy. We find him writing a letter to a New Eng land mother whose six sons were fighting for their country. He stops to show General Howard where a great school ought to be established for the education of my people. It is said that'he never gave an order to have a soldier executed. He had a pigeon hole in his desk labeled leg cases containing courts - martial or dering men to be shot for running away in time of battle or de sertion at other times and awaiting the President's signature which never came. He said a man was certainly worth more to his country living than dead even if his legs did go in the wrong direction at times.
