Blurb: “Mr. Lincoln Came to Dayton by Lloyd Ostendorf (1959) is a fascinating piece of Dayton and Abraham Lincoln history, published by The Otterbein Press to commemorate the centennial of Lincoln’s 1859 visit to Dayton, Ohio.
Illustrated throughout with historic photographs, portraits, newspaper reproductions, and drawings, Ostendorf reconstructs Lincoln’s September 17, 1859 visit to the Gem City, including his appearance at the Old Courthouse and his speech before hundreds of Dayton residents. The book also explores the photographs and portraits connected with Lincoln’s visit and his broader ties to Dayton. Sponsored by the Dayton and Montgomery County Historical Societies, this handsome volume is an especially appealing collectible for readers interested in Abraham Lincoln, presidential history, Ohio history, and local Daytoniana.”
