Lincoln's original Gettysburg Address speech accompanied by lush mural illustrations with a new introduction.
The Gettysburg Address is one of the most influential speeches in our history, written by Abraham Lincoln at a crucial period in his presidency and in United States history. Caldecott Honoree and Newbery Medalist James Daugherty's pictorial interpretation of President Abraham Lincoln's famous speech, the Gettysburg Address, was originally published by Albert Whitman in 1947. This book is available again in a fresh new edition just in time for the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address with a new introduction by Lincoln- and Civil War-scholar Gabor S. Boritt.
Originally published: 1947. With a new afterword by Gabor Boritt.
In November 1863, Abraham Lincoln recited a brief speech that has since become one of the most powerful and memorable speeches in our history. The Gettysburg Address gave citizens a feeling of hope in a time of war. Caldecott Honoree and Newbery Medalist James Daugherty's rich mural-like imagery uniquely illustrates Lincoln's influential speech. With brilliant colors and emotional scenes, Daughterty brings the Gettysburg Address to life.
