The Greatest Speech, Ever: The Remarkable Story of Abraham

The Greatest Speech, Ever: The Remarkable Story of Abraham Lincoln and His Gettysburg Address

This book was written to be more than a specialized monograph about the Gettysburg Address. The author digressed along the way into side excursions and back roads of Abraham Lincolnâ€™s remarkable life â€“ exploring his hardscrabble childhood, and his courageous but controversial Emancipation Proclamation. After all, to fully understand how the Gettysburg Address came to be, one must understand how Abraham Lincoln came to be. Part of the greatness of the Gettysburg Address is that the DNA of Lincolnâ€™s life is found in every word.
Senator Baker in his Foreword wrote â€œJudge Cottonâ€™s book is not only a fascinating and scholarly assessment of the Gettysburg Address and its impact on America, but also an absorbing look into Abraham Lincolnâ€™s life.â€
