DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe complete text of one of the most important speeches in American history, delivered by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln arrived at the battlefield near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to remember not only the grim bloodshed that had just occurred there, but also to remember the American ideals that were being put to the ultimate test by the Civil War. A rousing appeal to the nation’s better angels, The Gettysburg Address remains an inspiring vision of the United States as a country “conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFour score and seven years ago . . . . Are any six words better known, of greater import, or from a more crucial moment in our nation’s history? And yet after 150 years the dramatic and surprising story of how Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address has never been fully told. Until now. Martin Johnson's remarkable work of historical and literary detection illuminates a speech, a man, and a moment in history that we thought we knew. Johnson guides readers on Lincoln’s emotional and intellectual journey to the speaker’s platform, revealing that Lincoln himself experienced writing the Gettysburg Address as an eventful process that was filled with the possibility of failure, but which he knew resulted finally in success beyond expectation. We listen as Lincoln talks with the cemetery designer about the ideals and aspirations behind the unprecedented cemetery project, look over Lincoln's shoulder as he rethinks and rewrites his speech on the very morning of the ceremony, and share his anxiety that he might not live up to the occasion. And then, at last, we stand with Lincoln at Gettysburg, when he created the words and image of an enduring and authentic legend. Writing the Gettysburg Address resolves the puzzles and problems that have shrouded the composition of Lincoln's most admired speech in mystery for fifteen decades. Johnson shows when Lincoln first started his speech, reveals the state of the document Lincoln brought to Gettysburg, traces the origin of the false story that Lincoln wrote his speech on the train, identifies the manuscript Lincoln held while speaking, and presents a new method for deciding what Lincoln’s audience actually heard him say. Ultimately, Johnson shows that the Gettysburg Address was a speech that grew and changed with each step of Lincoln's eventful journey to the podium. His two-minute speech made the battlefield and the cemetery into landmarks of the American imagination, but it was Lincoln’s own journey to Gettysburg that made the Gettysburg Address.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFour Score and More finds the author in his 87th year. That life began at the end of 1923, embracing the Great Depression that devalued our over-mortgaged farm in Pike County, Illinois; 10 years of semi-privation saw it paid off. Even so, The Times of My Life knew both up-times and down-times in that decade, good practice for the rest of a long life. A one-room country school brought education early into my life, and education led to most of the best up-times to follow. The first degree (bachelor of science in agriculture, University of Illinois) brought me across the threshold into the wider world, with some academic problems and a war to deal with before I got there. University life brought boons, none greater than linking with the love and companion of the next 64 years (still counting): the anchor of family, herself a high achiever and inspiration and mentor to me and two beloved children—and three grandchildren. Two degrees followed: M.S., technical journalism, Iowa State University, and Ph.D.(first in the extended family), behavioral communication, University of Wisconsin. One career was 30 years of faculty tenure as professor of journalism and mass communication and leader of a staff of educational-media producers. Early retirement (age 56) opened the way for two decades of work abroad: three international agricultural research centers and then private consulting in agricultural and environmental communication, from a few weeks to months and years in over 40 countries on five continents.
