Gettysburg Address eBook Abraham Lincoln
The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln is 200 words long, in ten sentences, and is one of the masterpieces of American political speech in defending the universality of human rights and the legitimacy of republican government. It is also available for free for those who want to read it from time on their e-readers. Seriously, downloading this document should be a no-brainer. Students used to have to memorize this task, and it is one of those writings that deserves to be read and reflected on over and over again. Given its recognized greatness, I am aware that what I say about this document is entirely redundant, but all the same it's an excellent and worthwhile and very short document to read, and one that deserves its fame.Product details

Gettysburg Address eBook Abraham Lincoln Reviews
This book is an important historical document. It is important to have independently have read this speech. To know more than the first sentence is required.
Thankfully, the version here contains the original lines referencing apple tarts, which is almost always deleted from any reproduction of the speech.
Abe was an avid apple tart eater, as everyone knows, and at Gettysburg he was treated to the very best tart baked by Sandra Collins and delivered to the President moments before taking to the podium.
He was still chewing when he began his speech.
This version is very faithful to the truth, and America needs to remember the facts of that day as well as the usual edited version of the speech.
I just can't understand why professors in college don't have students read this wonderful work anymore.
Abraham Lincoln our 16th President wrote this speech during the Civil War. As a young teen in English class we were expected to memorize and know the importance of this speech. At the time I could not appreciate the dedication and what the speech actually meant. Nor did I realize how this speech could impact my life. The Gettysburg Address expressed freedom and it transcends time. That is why I have it on my kindle. I have it there to remind me of where we as a country were and where we are now. I think of equality when I read this speech. The speech continues to instill the hope that we as a melting pot country can come together as one.
President Abraham Lincoln - the greatest American - the greatest war time president - and frontier political genius - uses an economy of words to remind those gathered at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863 as well as posterity of our nation's origin and the high price, paid in blood for our Liberty and the preservation of our Union. A masterful leader, with the soul of a poet, the power and the beauty of Lincoln's words live on forever to augment our pride and belief in our country, our fellowman, and in ourselves as Americans. Over 150 years have passed since "Honest Abe" delivered the Gettysburg Address at the former battlefield turned cemetery - a final resting place consecrated and hallowed by the sacred blood of brothers - of sons - of fathers - of Americans all in the quest to create a more perfect Union.
The example, as portrayed by Abraham Lincoln 's life, sets the bar high and to meet this challenge we may beg assistance and intervention from the angels of our better nature to light our path and with firmness to the right demonstrate our faith in God's grace to lead us home.
The speech was made after the 3 day battle that determined the final outcome which way the civil war was going to be fought and won through attrition and all manor of remorse for the dead and soon to be dying that the war was decided on ending slavery and allowing freedom to be had through out this land so it may not perish from the face of this earth.
Watching Steven Spielberg’s movie reminded me that I had never actually read the Gettyburg’s address. Born and raised in Europe I only learned the highlights and about the speech’s historical significance.
Reading the famous speech was a riveting experience.
The following lines hit home
“… 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 ... “
Don’t these words apply to so many other issues the extinction of poverty, saving the environment, creating a stable peaceful environment for all… and so much more?
A must read for all! These lines will never lose significance!
