Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." Lincoln spoke those words in two minutes. The man who preceded him had spoken for two hours. Only one of those speeches is still remembered. Jack E. Levin first published this beautifully designed edition of the Gettysburg Address in 1965, a labor of love from the son of immigrants who responded with deep personal emotion to Lincoln's call for liberty and equality. Enhanced with period illustrations and striking battlefield photographs by Matthew Brady and other renowned photographers of the era, the volume was designed to bring Lincoln's words to life for a new generation. This edition now features Jack's original foreword alongside a new preface by his son, Mark Levin, himself a #1 New York Times bestselling author, who traces how his father's love for Lincoln and for America was passed down across the family table, story by story, debate by debate. In that way, this volume becomes more than a presentation of Lincoln's words. It becomes a testament to the passing of patriotic pride and historical love from one generation to the next.
