Synopsis

Excerpt from Gettysburg and Lincoln: The Battle, the Cemetery, and the National Park In the autumn of 1904, I obtained a photograph of a manuscript copy of President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. At first I supposed I had a photograph of the original manuscript, as unmistakably the handwriting was Mr. Lincoln's, and the copy was dated November 19, 1863, the date of the consecration of the cemetery at Gettysburg. But in an extended search for the facts connected with the address, it was made plain that what I had was a photograph of a manuscript copy of the address, - a copy made by Mr. Lincoln in April, 1864, - and not a photograph of the original manuscript. In the course of my investigations I obtained so many interesting facts concerning the composition and delivery of Mr. Lincoln's address that I finally decided to bring together my material in the form in which it appears in Part II of this volume.
