Interesting. One could never imagines a NYT editorial beginning as “The Pulpit and the Crisis” did in 1860.

In addition, I had always heard Lincoln credited for establishing Thanksgiving as an official holiday. That may have been true at the federal level, but now I learn it was already observed in some states, perhaps localities as well.
