Gettysburg Address ... easy question? maybe

[RJNorton]

Thanks for the link, Eva. I am going to change the answer I previously gave. Michael, in the link Eva posted, Nathan Raab writes, "But the bottom line is that there is no definitive text of the words he spoke that day." I agree with that, so I am going to say the best answer to your question is "unknown." Although we have these 5 copies (all of which have variances), to me it seems unknown EXACTLY how many words were said by Lincoln orally at Gettysburg.
