Honest Abe
1861 – 1865
“We did not conceive it possible that even Honest Abe would produce a paper so slipshod, so loose joined, so puerile, no alone in literary construction, but in its ideas, its sentiments, its grasp. He has outdone himself.”
Did you know?
Honest Abe was the first of the American Idols to be photographed, ironically John Wilkes Booth somehow snuck in the shot.
“God damn your god damned old hellfired god damned soul to hell god damn you and your god damned family‘s god damned hellfired god damned soul to hell and good damnation god damn them and god damn your god damned friends to hell.”⠀
- Peter Muggins, American citizen, letter to Honest Abe
