Abraham Lincoln was one busy man. He had a country to run. And a war to win. And a family to care for. But when it came time to honor all the soldiers who had died in the great battle of Gettysburg, President Lincoln still took time to say a few words. Two hundred and seventy-one to be exact. Here is a true story about a great man and his famous speech.

This was a very good book. I think that it teaches you important history you needd to know.

The story is great. I love that they printed the entire speech on the back page. But I gave it only two stars because there are multiple sentence fragments purposely included in the book. It's like trying to read a blog or tweet. The lack of complete sentences makes it very hard to read aloud.

Lincoln wrote the most important speech in American History-the short but very powerful Gettysburg Speech. This book will expose your kids to this speech in an appropriate way. The illustrations add meaning to the book.

The book is excellent for teaching 3rd or 4th graders about the cicvil war and Lincoln's importance in it. It includes the Gettysburg Address which is great.
