Weird with a dash of irony.

[@QuarrellaDeVil]

Robert Todd Lincoln was also "nearby" when not only his father was assassinated, of course, but also when assassins came for James A. Garfield and William McKinley. He begged off on later presidential invitations, although he was at the 1922 dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, and a photo exists of him with Supreme Court Chief Justice William Howard Taft and President Warren G. Harding, who would die in 1923 (while Taft lived until 1930). Interesting coincidences, nothing more.

Dave Martin His brother should have looked up to him.

[@ErisRising]

@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial Indeed, the Civil War was literally "Brother vs. Brother" in the Booth household, with John being ardently pro-Confederate, and Edwin supporting the Union. There's a bit of a melancholy tale involved here when in later years, Edwin Booth was at a party with his fellow actors, and noticed a sculpture of a pair of hands on a nearby mantle. He picked them up to admire them, and asked if anyone knew whose hands they were. When he was told "Lincoln," he reverently put them back, and walked away.

These recordings aren't necessarily true-to-life; unlike modern recording, which has nearly perfected the ability to record sound at a speed and consistency that ensures it's almost identical to what your ears hear normally, recordings back then were not consistent in how fast the person operating the machine recorded, nor in how fast they were played back. There is every possibility that a difference in recording or playback speed left this pitched higher than his actual voice - but I find it more interesting to believe this was truly how he sounded, as it challenges our initial ideas about these historical figures based on stories and on their lives. :)

Five years after the speech on this video made by President McKinley heard at 1:56, he was shot with two bullets in his stomach from inches away and survived for a few days before dieing from gangrine infection from the wound. Here is what President McKinley said after he was shot and he knew he was not going to survive. "It is useless, gentlemen. I think we ought to have prayer. Relatives and friends gathered around the death bed. The First Lady sobbed over him, "I want to go, too. I want to go, too. Her husband replied, "We are all going, we are all going. God's will be done, not ours," and with final strength put an arm around her. He may also have sung part of his favorite hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee", although other accounts have her singing it softly to him. At 2:15 a.m. on September 14, President McKinley died. Theodore Roosevelt had rushed back to Buffalo and took the oath of office as president. Czolgosz, McKinley's killer, was put on trial for murder nine days after McKinley's death, was found guilty, sentenced to death on September 26, and executed by electric chair on October 29, 1901 about two months after shooting the president. That was a very fast trial.

The recording of Cleveland in vol 1 is actually of William Jennings Bryan, orating part of his legendary Cross of Gold speech: "I shall not slander the inhabitants of the fair State of Massachusetts nor the inhabitants of the State of New York by saying that, when they are confronted with the proposition, they will declare that this nation is not able to attend to its own business. It is the issue of 1776 over again. Our ancestors, when but three millions in number, had the courage to declare their political independence of every other nation; shall we, their descendants, when we have grown to seventy millions, declare that we are less independent than our forefathers? No, my friends, that will never be the verdict of our people." Look up the speech and you'll see that was part of the last paragraph.

[@CArchivist]

Part of the reason they all spoke the way they did is that microphones and speakers did not exist yet, so they had to speak slower, deliberately, clearly, and in a voice that could project over an audience AND that they could hear and understand what was being said.

[@rocistone7507]

It is, in part, a product of the time, and the education of the individual. Long ago, before schools became stupid and narrow late in the 20th century, there were classes taught at the higher levels of education such as Elocution, Debate, and Public Speaking, to which anyone aspiring to a career in politics would be expected to subscribe himself and to excel therein. What you hear from these famous folks, particularly the political animals, is the product of an education in a specific style of public speaking thought to be most effective in their own time. These days, some halfwit gets up and reads or sits in front of a teleprompter, and reads in a dull voice like a retarded wind up toy. In the old days, you were taught that your physical presence, your gestures, and the modulation of your voice added strength to your speech, and therefore, your point of view. It is a subject of education no longer considered to be of much importance like art and foreign languages are today. It is as sad as the average product of the miserable education being foisted on our students in schools of this day and age.
