That chapter is titled "Penetrating and Far Reaching: Lincoln's Voice." As with most things Lincoln, the "earwitnesses" were not all in complete agreement, but from what I can tell, Daniel Day-Lewis has done an outstanding job of emulating what the majority say it sounded like.

This may have been posted before, but here's the link to Edwin Booth's voice.

Perhaps it has already been done - but given the audio software technology available today - the recording of EB could be cleaned up quite a bit. Historically all of the scratches and pops are important, but it would be interesting to hear a cleaned up - enhanced version.
