The author provides three readings: Gettysburg Address itself; the related Emancipation Proclamation; and Pericles Funeral Oration, which the Gettysburg Address was based upon. The author gives a brief review of the times; the Civil War; the surrender at a private home that most think was a court house; a review of Lincoln's life; analysis of Thucydides, who provided the transcript of Pericles Funeral Oration; Martin Luther King's choice to give his "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial on the 100th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address; and an analysis of his life, which brought the Gettysburg Address into the 20th century. Finally, there are additional notes and discussion topics for students, teachers, and all of us. This is a must listen for Americana followers as well as all Americans interested in our history.

Great value for the price.

1) This is a long recording audio just because, well... it is the SAME recording repeating itself TWICE.
2) Not a fluent reading by any means... I assume it was just an amateur reader reading out of a text(?)
3) One can hear toilet flushing in the background mid-recording....
4) The most dumbfounding part of this entire recording is that the reason given by the reader to the civil war was ‘commerce inequality’ between the north and south.
700,000 dead and 1,000,000 injured because ‘the north became “advanced”, practically leaving the agriculturally retarded south behind to which the south “just had enough of it”... (?!?!). Really? The word ‘Slavery’ is not even mentioned there.
VERY DISAPPOINTING
Very disappointing. To a point of disgrace...

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gettysburg Address?
The whole thingWould you be willing to try another one of Deaver Brown’s performances?
NopeWas this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YesAny additional comments?
Deaver Brown may be a good teacher but he sucks as a narrator. He starts off with a good history lesson placing the address in context. I did learn new information. Then he reads the address and stumbles. At the end he asks questions and proposes several topics for discussion or paper writing and this did enhance just a plain reading. It is worth a listen as long as you can get past a teacher lecturing with out your brain shutting off.Teachers
