Poem "Lincoln, the Man of the People" called by Dr. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton University "Edwin Markham's Lincoln is the greatest poem ever written on the Immortal martyr, and the greatest that ever will be written." Copyright 1900, 1919. Poem is signed by author, Edwin Markham. In addition, a Lincoln Centennial Souvenir postcard, "The Martyred President." 1908 by E. Nash.
Edwin Markham (1852–1940) describes the creation of Lincoln by the "Norm Mother" taking the "tried clay of the common road" fashioning it as "a man to hold against the world, / A man to match the mountains and the seas." Markham writes "The grip that swung the as in Illinois / Was on the pen that set a people free." Lincoln was born in 1908, and plans are already underway for great bi-centennial celebrations. Here is a wonderful piece of Lincolniana.
