ПРИМЕЧАНИЯ
Автор счел бы приятным долгом выразить свою признательность многочисленным почитателям Авраама Линкольна, которые столь охотно и быстро откликнулись на его запросы. Отзывчивость всех, к кому он обращался за информацией, и особенно готовность коллекционеров доверить ему бесценные брошюры и альбомы вырезок служили постоянным источником вдохновения и поддержки.
В следующих примечаниях часто встречаются ссылки на вторичные источники. Они приводятся не для подтверждения того, что уже было сказано со ссылкой на первичные источники, а для удобства читателей и в помощь исследователям. Какому-то читателю одна книга может быть доступнее другой, а исследователь, который захочет сопоставить все опубликованные на ту или иную тему материалы, будет иметь под рукой готовую библиографию.
ГЛАВА I
[i-1] Генри Пиртл, цитируется по: Herndon, i, 7. См. также: W. F. Booker в Barrett (New), i, 6; Irelan, xvi, 21.
[i-2] Джордж Б. Балч в: Browne, 87; Сэмюэл Хейкрафт в: Barrett (New), i, 8; преп. Томас Гудвин, там же, 115.
[i-3] Atkinson, 44–45.
[i-4] Томас Линкольн и Нэнси Хэнкс поженились близ Бичленда, в округе Вашингтон, штат Кентукки, 12 июня 1806 года.
[i-5] Ашер Ф. Линдер, уроженец округа Хардин, штат Кентукки, стал видным лидером демократов в Иллинойсе. Произнося надгробную речь в память о Линкольне в 1865 году и опираясь на свои воспоминания о старых днях в Кентукки, он сказал: «Они были хорошей семьей. Они были бедными, можно сказать, беднейшими представителями среднего класса, но они были настоящими».
[i-6] Сара Линкольн родилась 10 февраля 1807 года. Переезд на ручей Нолин, как утверждается, произошел в следующем году.
[i-7] Speed, 30; Browne, 489; Barrett (New), ii, 122–23; Morgan, 255–56.
[i-8] Читателю, который желает проследить за переселениями Томаса Линкольна, в качестве более подробных источников рекомендуются: Lamon, 12–15, 19–22, 25–26, 73–75; Herndon, i, 15–18, 57–61; Holland, 24–26, 38–41; Brockett, 37–40, 51–54, 57; Barrett, 21–24, 30–34; Barrett (New), i, 9–10, 12–14, 25–26; Brooks, 6, 8–13, 44–45; Browne, 42, 45–51, 80–85; Tarbell’s Early Life, 40, 51–55, 94–101; Tarbell, i, 13–15, 18–19, 45–49, 59; Nicolay and Hay, i, 24–30, 45–47; Whitney’s Life, i, 21–28, 57–64; Stoddard, 10–18, 57–59; Coffin, 18–29, 46–49; Irelan, xvi, 34–40, 64–65; Curtis’s Lincoln, 19–22, 26, 30; Works, vi, 26–31.
[i-9] Gridley, 47–48. О более ранней подобной торговой спекуляции, завершившейся плачевно, см.: Dr. C. C. Graham в Tarbell’s Early Life, 233; см. также: Hitchcock, 93–97, и Gridley, 47. Однако потеря груза из-за аварии судна, о которой рассказывает доктор Грэм, имеет поразительное и, пожалуй, подозрительное сходство с тем, что произошло с Томасом Линкольном (примечание 8), когда он попытался перевезти свои вещи водным путем из Кентукки в Индиану.
[i-10] Нэнси Хэнкс Линкольн скончалась на ручье Литл-Пиджен-Крик, штат Индиана, 5 октября 1818 года на тридцать пятом году жизни.
[i-11] Holland, 23; Arnold в Oldroyd, 33; Barrett (New), i, 16; Browne, 43–44; Coffin, 28; Ketcham, 12; Hart’s Sketch, 5; L. S. Portor в Woman’s Home Companion, февраль 1909 г., с. 10, 64; см. также: Speed, 19. Обращается внимание на небольшие различия в формулировках, приводимых этими авторами.
[i-12] В хижине на Литл-Пиджен-Крик жили Авраам, его сестра Сара и двоюродный брат Деннис Хэнкс, которого по воле несчастливого случая приняли в семью Линкольнов. Дети Джонстон состояли из Джона Д., Сары и Матильды.
[i-13] Томас Линкольн и Сара Буш Джонстон поженились 2 декабря 1819 года. Эпизод с долгами описан в: Barrett (New), i, 17; Herndon, i, 26; Lamon, 29; Coffin, 31; McClure’s Stories, 272–74; Tarbell’s Early Life, 52.
