328. (ABRAHAM LINCOLN) A fabulous archive, including an 1860 poll book and oversized tally sheets and documents detailing campaign results from DeWitt County, IL. from the national election of November 6, 1860. Present are two large poll sheets approximately 16" x 27" listing the "Names of Persons Voted for to be Electors of President and Vice President of the United States". Hash marks detail actual votes cast for a range of offices, also including the election of Richard Yates as Governor. Together with a poll book, folio, partially printed, completed in manuscript with a 3pp detail summarized on a separate sheet being the "Abstract of Votes Given in the County of DeWitt and State of Illinois for Eleven Electors for President and Vice President of the United States..." . Such a complete record of a single polling station seldom appears, particularly from 1860. The fact that these tally sheets are from Illinois is enhanced by the fact that two of the major candidates from this race came from that state: Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. Very good. $3,500 - 4,000
