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!

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.

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.
