The Lost Gettysburg Address

David T. Dixon

4.9/5 (14871 ratings)

Description:The dedication of the Gettysburg Soldier’s Cemetery on November 19, 1863, was more than a way to honor fallen heroes at the most famous battle of the war. It was the administration’s most important political event since Lincoln’s election three years earlier.The three major addresses at Gettysburg were not a random collection of individual orations. They were a carefully planned and constructed ensemble designed to accomplish different yet complimentary purposes. Each speaker intended to eulogize to some degree. Edward Everett’s style was deliberate. He sought to educate his audience. Lincoln was inspirational. He intended to elevate the war to a higher moral plane. Anderson was provocative. His address was designed to motivate, even agitate the crowd to support a vigorous prosecution of the war. Lincoln’s words entered the canon of American scripture where they remained, timeless and permanent. Everett’s speech was printed and then largely forgotten. Anderson’s oration had an even shorter exposure, disappearing from sight immediately and remaining buried for nearly 150 years.Author David T. Dixon’s fast-paced narrative tells the remarkable life story of Charles Anderson, who kept turning up at critical places and moments in the Civil War. The book features a complete printing of Anderson’s lost speech and his hand drawn map of the Stones River Battlefield, both published for the first time.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
