Lincoln@Gettysburg on PBS

[David Lockmiller]

There is a fascinating history exhibit from the Cornell University Library (best of the 3 options by far at the hyperlink below) relating to the Gettysburg address. It was on the Google log-in today. I especially liked the sketch of Lincoln presenting his speech (apparently done in 1924, but I do not know how). But there are other very interesting items such as the sketches made of Gettysburg dedication ceremony for Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper (December 5, 1863), the map of the cemetery with the designated state burial plots (zoom in for identification of state proportional losses), and the Chicago Historical Society 1950 exhibition of all five Lincoln hand-written copies of his Gettysburg address.
