Ilmonen is a commemorative speech-turned-booklet that was likely composed in the early 20th century. The text is best described as a brief biography interwoven with moral and social commentary, reflecting the values and interests of the temperance movement at the time. It is a historical account, focusing primarily on Abraham Lincoln's commitment to sobriety alongside significant moments of his life and career. The book was written in connection with the centenary of Lincoln's birth, situating its creation in the context of early 1900s America, during an era marked by the growing momentum of social reform movements like temperance. The content begins with an exploration of Lincoln as a champion of temperance, describing his lifelong personal abstinence from alcohol and his engagement with the movement in his community. The narrative then transitions into a concise overview of Lincoln's life, tracing his humble origins in rural Kentucky, his self-driven education, and the critical experiences that shaped his character and principles. The book recounts Lincoln’s rise from frontier youth to Illinois lawyer, and ultimately to the presidency, highlighting his pivotal role in the emancipation of slaves and the preservation of the Union during the Civil War. Throughout, the author presents Lincoln as a figure of exceptional moral integrity—emphasizing his steadfast commitment to both temperance and social justice—and concludes with reflections on Lincoln's legacy and enduring significance as a symbol of righteousness and compassion in American history.
