Where exactly did Lincoln stand at Gettysburg?

[Rob Wick]

Important in the sense that it matters to humanity? Obviously not. Important in the sense of being as accurate in history as possible? I think so. Given the sanctity of Lincoln's memory in our society, we want to be as close to him as is possible. Even though many of the places we think Lincoln saw are not correct. A prime example is the Old State Capitol in Springfield. Given that the building underwent a major renovation when Sangamon County moved out very little if anything from Lincoln's time exists. That doesn't stop thousands of people a year in visiting the site.

If we knew the exact site where the speaker's platform was located it would be of service to truthfulness in history, but not much else.
