A fabulous archive. An 1860 poll book and oversized tally sheets and documents detailing campaign results from DeWitt County, Ill., from the national election, November 6, 1860. Present are two large poll sheets approximately 16 x 27 with usual folds and minor separation, 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 including the election of Richard Yates as Governor. Together with a poll book measuring 8.5 x 13.5, partially printed and manuscript completed, usual folds, with three pages detailing that 174 citizens cast their vote. Docketed on front cover, three blank pages, usual folds. The results of these votes are then summarized on a separate, two-sided sheet, same size, 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." In very good overall condition. Without question, such a complete record of a single polling station seldom appears, particularly from 1860. And, that these tally sheets are from Illinois is enhanced by the fact that two of their major candidates from this race came from that state: Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas.
