The history of one is the history of all; depots in waves, as if the multitudinous seas had been let loose, and its billows transformed into patriots, clinging along roofs and balconies and pillars, fringing long embankments, swarming upon adjacent trains of motionless cars, shouting, bellowing, shrieking, howling, all were boisterous; all bubbling with patriotism.—JOHN HAY, in the New York World, February 1861WARD HILL LAMON, Lincoln’s “particular friend” and self-appointed bodyguard, was known... to enjoy the balm of alcohol now and then. “Hill,” as Lincoln called him, could toss back a staggering quantity of rye whiskey without showing any ill effects. After a session of particularly hard drinking, he would draw himself up—resplendent in his swallow-tailed coat and thick ruffled shirt, a heavy gold watch chain cresting his stomach—and demonstrate his sobriety with a tongue twister that left all others sputtering: “She stood at the gate welcoming him in.” Lamon also had a reputation as a lively banjo player.
