Title A name given to the resource Vachel Lindsay Collection Subject The topic of the resource Lindsay, Vachel, 1879-1931 Vachel Lindsay Association Lindsay, Elizabeth Conner, 1901-1954 Lindsay, Nick, 1922- Russell, Susan Doniphan Lindsay, 1926-1990 Graham, Elizabeth Lindsay, Vachel Thomas, 1843-1918 Lindsay, Esther Catharine Frazee, 1848-1922 Frazee, Ephraim S. (Ephraim Samuel), 1824-1896 Description An account of the resource Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, a major American poet, was born in 1879 at 603 South Fifth Street in Springfield, Illinois to Dr. Vachel Thomas Lindsay and Catherine Frazee Lindsay. He graduated from Springfield High School and studied at Hiram College in Ohio, the Chicago Art Institute and the New York School of Art.  Lindsay made three famous walking tours of the United States in 1906, 1908 and 1912, covering more than 2,800 miles. On these treks, Lindsay traded poems for food and shelter, earning him the title “The Prairie Troubadour.”  Lindsay first earned fame with the publication of his poem “General William Booth Enters into Heaven” in 1913. Two years later his poem, “The Wedding of the Rose and the Lotus”, calling for tolerance between Eastern and Western cultures was printed by the United States Secretary of the Interior and sent to both houses of Congress in connection with the opening of the Panama Canal.  Much of Lindsay’s poetry was written to be read aloud, and he performed extensively across the country and in Europe. He often created drawings to go with his poems. He was a leading voice in the American “New Poetry” movement and published a total of 20 volumes of poetry and prose. He and other artists of his day championed a new language to express new subjects, such as civil liberties, civic excellence and humanitarian and aesthetic values. He also wrote poems of protest against spiritual and environmental blight. Lindsay’s Springfield home was his creative center, and he returned there many times during his career.  In 1925 he married Elizabeth Conner of Spokane, Washington. He returned to Springfield with his wife and two children in 1929, where he committed suicide on December 5, 1931. The Vachel Lindsay Association, a not-for-profit private corporation, was founded in 1946 in Springfield, Illinois “to perpetuate the spiritual and material estate of Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, the Poet”. The organization proposed to finance the collection and publication of various Lindsayana and to maintain and preserve the Lindsay Home as a site for perpetuating interest in Lindsay and his poetry and ideals. In 1990 the Lindsay Home was transferred to the state of Illinois and became a historic site open to the public. The Association continues to promote interest in Lindsay through various public programming and publishing endeavors. Elizabeth Graham, friend of Lindsay, was a founding member and curator of the Lindsay Home from 1958 to 1978.

(Frank Everett), 1856-1939 Black Hawk War (1832) Generals Soldiers War of 1812 Veterans Mexican War (1846-1848) Generals Legislators Indians of North America Description An account of the resource Frank E. Stevens was a lawyer, banker, newspaper editor and writer based in Illinois. Stevens was born and educated in Dixon, Illinois. He studied law in Sycamore, Illinois, and was admitted to the bar in 1877. Shortly after that he moved to South Dakota where he operated the Beadle County National Bank until 1890 when he moved to Chicago and worked in a brokerage business. In 1907 Stevens returned to Sycamore, Illinois, where he published the Dixon Weekly Citizen and later the Sycamore Tribune. He retired from the newspaper business in 1928 and was elected mayor of Sycamore in 1931. Governor Henry Horner appointed Stevens to the War Records Division of the office of the Adjutant General. Stevens was a historian who authored several historical works including The Black Hawk War. Stevens used the majority of the items in the collection while researching and writing The Black Hawk War. The Black Hawk War (1832), although brief, has much significance for Native American history. In April, tribal groups of Sauk, Meskwakis, and Kickapoo, led by Chief Black Hawk of the Sauk, crossed the Mississippi River from Iowa into Illinois. Known as the British Band, they claimed lands under the 1804 Treaty of St. Louis, a treaty the whites disputed. Fearful, militia’s fired on the Native American delegation in what led to the Battle of Stillman’s Run, a resounding defeat for the militias. Black Hawk was eventually defeat, however, at the battles of Wisconsin Heights and Bad Axe. Historically, the Black Hawk War legitimized and strengthened forcible relocation of Native American tribes further west. The finding aid for the Frank E. Stevens Papers, 1832-1939 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is located at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/610.

Lincoln's Requiem Words by Irene Boynton Music by J.A. Butterfield 1. Dead! dead! how swift the dire news flies, And wakes a nation's agonies! From town to town, from mouth to mouth, Swift spreads the dreaded message forth; In lowly cot, in lordly hall, This grief enshrouds and covers all. And on the breast drops ev'ry head, In sorrow for the noble dead. Chorus: Oh, weep for fallen greatness! weep! Let tears express our woes; But while our Lincoln's soul doth sleep, Brave men strike down his foes! 2. Dead! dead! but not as warriors die, He fell not shouting battle cry--Not in the open light of heav'n--Not in his home his soul was riven--Not on the plain where hand to hand The brave cross blade with foemen's brand, But where the waves of pleasure flow, Death aim'd his shaft thro' secret foe. Chorus 3. Dead! dead! and now when hopes were high, And wars dread curse was passing by, When traitors had their madness stay'd, And hero hands sheathed vengeful blade, When homes and hearthstones gleamd afar, To manly hearts grown tired of war, And long wooed peace had left the sky, It was no time for him to die. Chorus 4. Dead! dead! and when the millions free Sent up their shouts of liberty, When from the depths of bondage wrung, Sweet freedoms song, by freedmen sung, When million hearts their thanks out pour'd And angel ears in pleasure heard, When words his hand has trac'd live on It is not meet to mourn him gone. Chorus 5. Dead! dead! and has he died in vain? Shall we in lethargy remain? His years of patriot toil forget Shall unavenged his life sun set? No! for this blow in treach'ry given, The smoke of strife shall rise to heav'n, And 'till our flag in triumph waves His foes and our find bloody graves!

(Frank Everett), 1856-1939 Black Hawk War (1832) Generals Soldiers War of 1812 Veterans Mexican War (1846-1848) Generals Legislators Indians of North America Description An account of the resource Frank E. Stevens was a lawyer, banker, newspaper editor and writer based in Illinois. Stevens was born and educated in Dixon, Illinois. He studied law in Sycamore, Illinois, and was admitted to the bar in 1877. Shortly after that he moved to South Dakota where he operated the Beadle County National Bank until 1890 when he moved to Chicago and worked in a brokerage business. In 1907 Stevens returned to Sycamore, Illinois, where he published the Dixon Weekly Citizen and later the Sycamore Tribune. He retired from the newspaper business in 1928 and was elected mayor of Sycamore in 1931. Governor Henry Horner appointed Stevens to the War Records Division of the office of the Adjutant General. Stevens was a historian who authored several historical works including The Black Hawk War. Stevens used the majority of the items in the collection while researching and writing The Black Hawk War. The Black Hawk War (1832), although brief, has much significance for Native American history. In April, tribal groups of Sauk, Meskwakis, and Kickapoo, led by Chief Black Hawk of the Sauk, crossed the Mississippi River from Iowa into Illinois. Known as the British Band, they claimed lands under the 1804 Treaty of St. Louis, a treaty the whites disputed. Fearful, militia’s fired on the Native American delegation in what led to the Battle of Stillman’s Run, a resounding defeat for the militias. Black Hawk was eventually defeat, however, at the battles of Wisconsin Heights and Bad Axe. Historically, the Black Hawk War legitimized and strengthened forcible relocation of Native American tribes further west. The finding aid for the Frank E. Stevens Papers, 1832-1939 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is located at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/610. Photographs in this collection include images of several individuals connected to the Black Hawk War including Chief Shabbona, Major Isaiah Stillman, Brigadier General Milton K. Alexander, Colonel Nathan Boone, and Brigadier General Henry Atkinson.
