With Henry Clay Whitney
"Abraham Lincoln's Lost Speech, May 29, 1856" by Abraham Lincoln is a speech delivered in 1856. Given at the Bloomington Convention that founded Illinois's Republican Party, this oration against slavery was so captivating that reporters allegedly abandoned their note-taking, mesmerized by Lincoln's words. No transcript survived, though some believe the speech was deliberately suppressed due to its inflammatory content. The lost address became legendary, thrusting Lincoln into national prominence and inspiring supporters despite its mysterious disappearance.
