"Try to Steer Her Through" |
|
John A. Logan and a friend of Illinois called upon Lincoln at Willard's Hotel, Washington, February 23d, the morning of his arrival, and urged a vigorous, firm policy.
Patiently listening, Lincoln replied seriously but cheerfully:
"As the country has placed me at the helm of the ship, I'll try to steer her through."
(from Lincoln's Yarns and Stories , by Colonel Alexander K. McClure)
