RE: Where was Lincoln? - David Lockmiller - Yesterday 05:24 AM
President Lincoln was simply asked to deliver "a few appropriate remarks" at Gettysburg. The main speaker was Edward Everett, one the nation's best orators. Everett later wrote Lincoln that, “I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes.”
