Title Description

Jean Fritz's classic telling of the story of the Gettysburg Address comes alive in this iconographic program, illustrated by Charles Robinson. Abraham Lincoln had to run the country, win the war and look after his family. When he was asked to honor the soldiers who died in the great battle of Gettysburg, he made time to say a few words about them too. With sensitivity and wit, Rex Robbins narrates Jean Fritz's story about one of the most famous (and shortest) speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address. Part of the Weston Woods Series.
