A Lincoln Memorial Road from Washing
ton to Gettysburg.

From the White House to Gettysburg
Abraham Lincoln journeyed to deliver a
speech which will be recited by school
boys a thousand years from now, and
which will stand as classic as long as
the English language is spoken. A broad
and splendid highway, the best in the
world, from the grounds of the White
House to the battlefield of Gettysburg,
to be called 'The Lincoln Road" or
'The Lincoln Way" will, in the judg-
ment Of the writer, stard the test as
the most appropriate memorial that
could be constructed to show our re-
spect and affection for Abraham Lincoln.
Gettysburg is itself memorial, elo-
quent of things done and of things said.
Here was fought the most important
battle of the greatest of wars. Here
was exhibited valor unsurpassed in the
annals of military provinces. The men
who wore the blue and the men who
wore the gray, their defendants and
their countrymen, can all properly eNuit
as Americans in the valiant deeds that
were here performed. Here, too. was
pronounced Lincon's matchiess speech,
which "crystallized the spirit of the Re
public into a paragraph. " From What
Shall the Lincoln Memorial Be?' by
