Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or lincoln:

    Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.

    When the white man governs himself that is self-government; but when he governs himself, and also governs another man, that is more than self-government—that is despotism.
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
