It was not, therefore, strange if with the eagerness to listen to their first debate, Mr. Lincoln's friends had some misgivings as to his ability to cope with so dangerous a rival. It was felt that while his mental processes were of a high order for a set speech, yet in an off hand debate, he could not match the quick, ready com mand over his subject which his opponent possessed; sharpened as it had been by a long service and practice in both Houses of Congress.
The first debate, as you may remember, occurred at Ottawa. Twenty crowded passenger coaches left Chicago over the Rock Island road early in the morning of that day. I spent nearly my last dime to be there, but I have always considered it one of my best investments. As we drew into Morris, a station some dis tance east of Ottawa, We caught sight of Lincoln standing at the station platform awaiting the train. Most of the Republicans rushed out either to shake his hand or to ascertain if he was' in good trim for the encounter. His tall figure is perhaps best pic tured to my mind by that occasion. He was dressed in a brown jeans suit, ill fitting, the length of the sleeves of his coat' and the leg of his trousers both very scant, as also the starch of his shirt collar. His frame seemed gigantic. Six feet four in height, some what stoop-shouldered and lean in flesh, he was far from handsome as he inclined forward shaking hands very cordially, though in a dignified manner. His face was sallow and weather beaten, as always, sad in repose, but lighting up instantly upon any hint of good humor either from within himself or upon others' suggestion None could fail to see a certain awkward hesitation, or rawness of manner, probably in part due to want of familiarity with public life. Reaching Ottawa he changed his attire and appeared upon the platform m a neat white duck suit complete and much more be coming than his morning attire, contrasting in this as in every other aspect of appearance with Douglas, who was dressed in a black broadcloth frock coat and trousers, and devoid of vest, collar, or necktie.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
