ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER BY SETH GRAHAME-SMITH

  "Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. —Abraham Lincoln, in a message to Congress  December 1st, 1862"  ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER BY SETH GRAHAME-SMITH  2021-01-16 16:17 ───

  "Abraham, It is a difficult thing to know the future. We see it reflected as in ripples of water—distorted and ever moving. There are moments, however, when the ripples subside and the reflection becomes clear. The Union saw one of those moments in your future that night in New York: you are destined to defeat Jefferson Davis, Abraham. You alone. Further, I do not believe that it is your destiny to die on this errand. I feel this with my whole self. I would not send you otherwise. It must be you, Abraham. I beg you reconsider. Ever, —H"  ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER BY SETH GRAHAME-SMITH  2021-01-16 18:46 ───

  "Henry, I am an old man with three sons and a wife who has wept over too many graves already. I will cause her no further grief by getting myself killed. Surely there are a hundred, or a thousand among your kind better suited to the task. Why must you prevail upon me when I am years removed from my best?  Send someone else. Yours, —Abraham  Henry’s reply came by express a mere four days after Abe sent his refusal off to New York."  ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER BY SETH GRAHAME-SMITH

  “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved—I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. —Abraham Lincoln, accepting the Republican  Party’s nomination for senator  June 16th, 1858"  ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER BY SETH GRAHAME-SMITH  2021-01-16 16:16 ───

 " We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us. —Abraham Lincoln, proclaiming a National Fast Day  March 30th, 1863"  ABRAHAM LINCOLN, VAMPIRE HUNTER BY SETH GRAHAME-SMITH  2021-01-16 16:16 ───
