Arriving from\u00a0a country in triumph to a country in deep mourning, Sarmiento heard a great deal and thought\u00a0deeply about Lincoln, whose ideas about government he found engaging and with whom he felt\u00a0he would have had much in common. Before the year was out, he had written a full length\u00a0biography of the assassinated leader, whom he had never met, publishing it in his native Spanish in New York. \u201cIn the life of Lincoln,\u201d Sarmiento wrote, \u201cwe find commonalities of\u00a0existence in both Americas, and in the facts relating thereto must deduce lessons and useful\u00a0warnings for our own government.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0The copy shown here was originally presented by Sarmiento, hot off the press, to the Library of\u00a0Congress.<\/p>\n Dates<\/strong>: February 6 – 28,<\/em> 2018 LINCOLN RECORD\u00d3 EN AMERICA LATINA Selected Items on View at the John Hay Library: \u201cCanci\u00f3n a Abraham Lincoln\u201d Lady\u2019s Fan, c. 1865 Havana, Cuba Brown University Library, Special Collections Latin Americans observed, mourned and commemorated Abraham Lincoln\u2019s life and legacy in a\u00a0number of ways.
