Excerpt from The Gettysburg Addresses: The Story of Two Orations

Lincoln's words express the mood of the dedication in matchless terms. Nevertheless, to get the complete story of the battle and the dedication, the student of the Civil War must read both Gettysburg Addresses.

The Lincoln speech has inspired not only imitations but, particularly in the mid-twentieth century, many parodies written by humorists, politicians, and journalists of all per suasions. Some of the best of these are included in this volume.
