Lincoln at Gettysburg Audiobook (Free)

Four months following the Battle, the city of Gettysburg was changed again – this time for the dedication of the Troops’ National Cemetery. On November 18, 1863, Abraham Lincoln and a trainload of dignitaries found its way to Gettysburg for the dedication for the 19th. Lincoln was here for just twenty-four hours but it was probably one of the most historical visits of his presidency. We realize today how the highlight from the wedding ceremony was the speech he delivered through the cemetery’s commitment, the short talk about Lincoln at Gettysburg that became The Gettysburg Address. This tour starts on the train station and comes after the route that Lincoln walked through the procession to the cemetery. We’ll walk the same roads that noticed the Union retreat on July 1st and then the procession to the cemetery a couple of months later. On the way, we’ll hear from lots of the townspeople that observed the famous check out and we’ll stop at some of the locations that hosted Lincoln and many of the participants in this historic gathering. Author Christine Thomas, provides us with brilliant accounts from diaries and newspapers even as we make our method through the city, up Cemetery Hill towards the Troops’ Country wide Cemetery, the website of the Gettysburg Address.
