      So, he went to Bostic, North Carolina were his biological father, Abraham Enloe conceived him with his white adolescent servant girl, Nancy? Then, he went just over the border into Kentucky to Thomas Lincoln's neighborhood? Thos. Lincoln was a "friend" of Enloe, and in need of a wife, being recently widowed, and took the pregnant Nancy off Enloe's hands & to himself as a wife, being financially subsidized by Enloe for a few months to offset Nancy's bearing Enloe's offspring. BTW, those that wd dispute the veracity of these facts ought to look at a photos & contemporary descriptions of Enloe & Lincoln. Abraham Enloe had little schooling but, was very quick-witted, also tall & lanky. Thos. Lincoln was short & squatty, and described as rather quiet & dull-witted.
      Little wonder that Lincoln avoided speaking-of, or acknowledging his origins.

    • @repairedgnome
      @repairedgnome Год назад +14

      It was way less refined, you look at what the French were working on from the 1850s onward and even the most restored audio remains almost useless. Queen Victoria had her voice recorded but even that was barely intelligible, it is with Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893) who’s audio can actually be heard and understood, his predecessor and successor would not get his voice recorded (contrary to popular belief) but McKinley onward would be very intelligible (less so with Harding however). My point is that in spite of being partially existent across seas, it’s current state and and many future iterations would not have made a difference.
      Admittedly the topics of Photographic, motion picture, and audio history are quite fascinating, really fun to research!

    Lincoln's son, Tod, was to become the CEO of a major USA RailRoad company; where, such was during the later 1800's and maybe into the early 1900's. Was the voice of this son ever recorded? If yes, IMO, that would potentially be a more reliable starting point for "learning" the characteristics of his father's voice.

    Lincoln’s voice was high-pitched, nasally and Western, almost to the point of being distracting until the listener grew accustomed to it.
    And having learned to speak outdoors, before large and noisy crowds, you bet he could be clearly heard from long distances. His voice has been compared to a trumpet.

    Lincoln’s voice was high pitched accordingly to everyone who heard him speak.

    “Did the audience realize, that soft November afternoon, that they were listening to the greatest speech that had ever fallen from human lips up to that time? No most of his hearers were merely curious: they had never seen nor heard a President of the United States, they strained their necks to look at Lincoln, a high, thin voice, and that he spoke with a Southern accent.”
    -Dale Carnegie, Lincoln The Unknown

    I saw a special about the civil war as a kid and the old timer Federal veteran ( in his 90's ) interviewed said, Lincoln sounded exactly like the actor Walter Brennan who was in movies as a young man , when the civil war veteran was still alive . Very interesting!

    Daniel Day Lewis, who played Lincoln in the movie Lincoln used a rather high toned voice based upon numerous recollections of LIncoln's voice being higher than normal; certainly not deep and gravely.

  • @richardblayneamerican8149
    @richardblayneamerican8149 Год назад +2

    I've read a number of accounts that Lincoln's voice was on the higher end of the scale. But then remember when he spoke in public there was no amplification, so he would have been raising his voice, and therefore the tone of the voice too. Only one president in my memory had a deep voice: Richard Nixon.

  • @justin9202
    @justin9202 Год назад +1

    this is highly incorrect. Lincoln was considered to have a high pitched and reedy voice that made people ridicule some of his speeches.
    Also the first ever voice recording of anyone was april 9th 1860 which was a 20 second audio recording of a woman's voice.
    Since Lincoln was president from March 4, 1861 - April 15, 1865 this means it is perfectly possible to hear Lincoln's voice on a recording.
    Of im not mistaken there is a recording of lincoln giving a debate speech against his opponent before an election here on RUclips

    I could be that he tended to speak above his natural pitch. This often lends a distinctive texture. They're able to drop down to the lower register, but they just dont do it very often.

    If there is video of him talking, it is sometimes possible to measure the subtle vibrations in solid objects to re-create the real audio and thus the real voice! However the film might not be good enough. Its a thought anyway. Thanks.
