History in the Raw (The bare facts of history that you don't get to read very often)

My name is Jack Stanley, I have studied history for many years. This blog is about history in a more raw view, not over done. I often use original materials to bring a historic event or story to life or an interview I may have done with the person mentioned. If you cook a vegetable too long it loses much. The same can be said of many histories. They are the history of the history written before it. Over done history. THIS IS HISTORY IN THE RAW. Comments send to phonograph78@hotmail.com

Vote for Abraham Lincoln!!!...Some Republican doings on Oct 3, 1860 from the original newspaper

Here is some wonderful history in the raw. The original newspaper accounts of Seward and Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois. This newspaper is full of information of about Republican Clubs, Lincoln, Steven Douglas, William Seward, and many others. It is one of those rare sources of primary information. Enjoy!
