Description

This powerful, somber book gloriously introduces the most famous speech in American history to a new generation & gives fresh meaning to those who have read & heard it before. With considerable care, Abraham Lincoln’s words have been carefully arranged as accompaniments to a series of dramatic B&W images in a visual exposition that complements their intensity & power. The so-called Bliss text, the last from Lincoln’s hand, is the text used for this book. The Civil War & the soldiers in battle are set in context in a Foreword by Garry Wills & Afterword by illustrator Michael McCurdy, whose great-grandfather John “Jack” Kenning was a cannoneer in the Independent Battery F, Pennsylvania Light Artillery, & fought in the Battle of Gettysburg.
