Hearing Abraham Lincoln’s Voice

[David Lockmiller]

Thanks, Amy. There is an excellent source for folks interested in Lincoln's voice. The book is entitled Abraham Lincoln: Public Speaker by Waldo W. Braden. Chapter 8, entitled "Penetrating and Far Reaching: Lincoln's Voice," covers pages 96-103 of the book, and it includes numerous earwitness accounts of what Abraham Lincoln sounded like.

Roger, is "earwitness" a neologism? Or, does the word appear in the book Abraham Lincoln: Public Speaker? Neologism means "a newly coined word or expression."
