description: President Lincoln visited Gettysburg Pennsylvania to deliver a brief speech at the dedication of the new Soldiers' National Cemetery. Many local residents left interesting eyewitness accounts of Lincoln's visit. These narratives however have been largely neglected by historians. Beyond their human interest appeal they suggest that Lincoln's immediate reception in Gettysburg was far more enthusiastic than is generally believed. This short book is an attempt to present some of these little-known eyewitness accounts that record one of this nation's most momentous occasions. [From the back cover]
