THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS AND LINCOLN THE MAN

Carl Sandburg speaks much of Mr Lincoln and sketches word portraits of men around him, appraising his cabinet in devastating fashion. Mr. Sandburg punctures the myth that Lincoln scribbled his famed Gettysburg Address on the back of an envelope. He analyzes the address and states "It's the only short speech or long speech anywhere that you could do a thesis around each separate sentence".
