Life-sized figure of president Lincoln as he spoke to the Peekskill, NY crowd on February 19, 1861. Solid black granite statue by Richard Masloski. The Lincoln Depot, is located on South Water Street in Peekskill, New York, United States.
The following is the text of Abraham Lincoln’s words he addressed to the people of Peekskill at the former railroad depot on February 19th, 1861:
“Ladies and gentlemen. I have but a moment to stand before you, to listen to, and return your kind greeting. I thank you for this reception, and for the pleasant manner in which it is tendered to me by our mutual friend. [Congressman Nelson]
“I will say in a single sentence, in regard to the difficulties which lie before me and our beloved country, that if I can only be as generously and unanimously sustained as the demonstrations I have witnessed indicate I shall be, I shall not fail.
“But without your sustaining hands, I am sure that neither I nor any other man can hope to surmount these difficulties.
“I trust that in the course I shall pursue, I shall be sustained not only by the party that elected me, but by the patriotic people of the whole country.”
