      Having driven through Gettysburg today, it was wonderful to read this with my boys tonight. They are very interested in the Revolutionary War... hoping to expand their enjoyment of American history!
    • 5/5
      A handsomely designed reissue of Daugherty's bold, elegant illustrated accompanyment to the speech originally published in 1947. This edition includes Daugherty's original afterword, a new afterword by a Civil War scholar and the artist's own interpretations of each illustration.

      You know a speech has touched your heart if every time you see the words, you feel compelled to re-read it. That is how I feel about Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

      On the occasion when President Lincoln spoke these immortal words, people were used to receiving speeches that would ramble on for hours. So by the time the audience had settled themselves to listen, these words had already been uttered, and a great deal of the audience had missed Lincoln's heartfelt lamentation for those who died in the tragic American Civil War, where brother fought against brother:

      "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

      Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

      But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
    • 4/5
      The illustrations only add to this powerful speech made by President Lincoln at the time of the civil war. His speech and the illustration takes you back in time when our nation was torn apart. What an incredi ble book to read.
