The Gettysburg Address: The History and Legacy of President Abraham Lincoln’s Greatest Speech by Charles River Editors
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 MB
Overview: 150 years later, Lincoln’s speech is still considered arguably the greatest in American history, yet the exact wording of the speech is disputed. The five known manuscripts of the Gettysburg Address differ in a number of details and also differ from contemporary newspaper reprints of the speech. In fact, at the time, few Americans knew the president had even given a speech at Gettysburg, and the Gettysburg Address was not widely covered in newspapers. The irony is lost on few, given that the Gettysburg Address continues to represent a concise and eloquent statement on the very purpose of the United States.
