On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln eulogised the Confederate and Union dead who had lost their lives in the Battle of Gettysburg only four months earlier. The Gettysburg Address, as it has come to be known, is a masterpiece of eloquence on the principles of liberty and freedom that define the democratic ideals by which America is recognised. The Gettysburg Address and Other Writings collects a dozen speeches, addresses, and documents written by Abraham Lincoln. It includes the final draft of the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln's famous 'House-Divided' Speech and the full texts of his first and second inaugural addresses. In addition, this volume features an autobiographical Introduction and a Chronology of Abraham Lincoln's life. This is one of Barnes & Noble's pocket-sized leatherbound editions. It features an elegant bonded-leather binding and distinctive gilt edging. Decorative and durable, it puts a classic of American letters in the palm of your hand.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the sixteenth president of the United States of America. His Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 was integral to the abolition of slavery in the United States, and the adoption of the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution in 1865. Lincoln served as president for the duration of the American Civil War, and his Gettysburg Address is considered one of the greatest speeches in American history. On April 14, 1865, Lincoln was shot by Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth and died the following day.
