New Salem
Author: Joseph M. Di Cola
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439660158
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
In 1829, eleven years after Illinois became the twenty-first state, New Salem was founded on a bluff above the Sangamon River. The village provided an essential sanctuary for a friendless, penniless boy named Abraham Lincoln, whose six years there shaped his education and nurtured his ambition. Eclipsed by the neighboring settlement of Petersburg, New Salem had dwindled into a ghost town by 1840. However, it reemerged in the early part of the twentieth century as one of the most successful preservation efforts in American history. Author Joseph Di Cola relates the full story of New Salem's fascinating heritage.

New Salem as I Knew It (Classic Reprint)
Author: Ida L. Bale
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780282383046
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
Excerpt from New Salem as I Knew It The different names applied to Abraham Lincoln's old home near Petersburg, Illinois have been very confusing to strangers, but New Salem and Old Salem designate the same place at a different period of time. Probably the proper appellation was used by Wm. E. Barton who called the place Old (new) Salem, but common usage would never accept such a seeming incongruity, ' New Salem was the village that stood about ten years, then disappeared. Later the name Old Salem came to be used naturally and by common consent to designate the site of the old vil lage and vicinity. It has been known by this name for al most ninety years, extending between the two periods - the disappearing and the restoring of the village.
