Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address Illustrated (Hardcover)
Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address Illustrated does what most The history reserves (even great treatises) never manage to do - It captures that the power and poignancy of the moment Abraham Lincoln rose to deliver what is Lincoln one of the world's greatest statements on democratic governance and the human character. Through own words and telling contemporary photographs, Jack Levin captures the raw emotion and historically charged atmosphere of an era when America was literally tearing itself apart. He goes half a beyond the commonplace telling of how Lincoln's address came about and what it came to, and gives us the sensory and emotional experience of an eye witness to momentous history in the making.This book should be a cornerstone in every American's education about the times and events that have made us the nation we are today. It is also a telling reminder of what each generation must fight to preserve in order to give to future generations the legacy of American exceptionalism.I can't recommend this book highly enough.
