The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
". . . When the President finishes there is not a sound—not a clap, not a cheer. Most of those who listen that day at Gettysburg do not know they are hearing one of the greatest speeches ever written, but all know their president is speaking from his heart."--E.W. Andrews, present at the Address
.........from PBS Freedom: A History of US, A birth of New Freedom.
