comments,
- Today marks the 150th anniversary of an oration that\s become...""One of the modern classics of patriotic wisdom
- Lincoln\s address on this day in 1863 lasted only two minutes.""He didn\t even think his speech was worthy of the event
- Want to win a bet? The featured speaker at the dedication for the cemetery at Gettysburg spoke for two hours.""And his name was not Abraham
- Civil War reenactments bring history to life in a way no book or documentary can.""It may look like fun and games, but authenticity is the goal
