Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing the question whether this nation or any nation so conceived so dedicated can long endure. We are met on the great battle-field of that war. We are met to dedicate it on a portion of the field set apart as the final resting place of those who gave their lives for the nation's life; but the nation must live and it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. In a larger sense we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground in reality. The number of men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor attempts to add to its consecration. The world will little know and nothing remember of what we see here but we cannot forget what these brave men did here. We own this offering to our dead. We imbibe increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion; we here might resolve that they shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall under God have a new birth of freedom and that Government of the people for the people and for all people shall not perish from earth.</i>"</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Though November 20th imprints are the most valuable newspaper publications of the Gettysburg Address none are as lavish as this issue of <i>Leslie's</i> and none show the cemetery or provide images of the ceremony. It is also interesting to note that the leading illustrated newspaper <i>Harper's Weekly</i> did not publish the Address or illustrate the ceremony. This <i>Leslie's</i> issue published in far smaller quantities than <i>Harper's</i> is quite scarce.</p><p><i>Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper</i> was founded in 1852 and published until 1922. Originally established by <i>Illustrated London News</i>owner Frank Leslie 1821-1880 the weekly continued under the guidance of his widow suffragette Miriam Florence Leslie from 1880 until 1902 when she sold the highly recognizable brand. Specializing in patriotic topics and heavily reporting war efforts from the Civil War to World War I the newspaper also covered Arctic exploration the Klondike Gold Rush strikes and sporting events. Civil War reporting and illustration was among the paper's most successful ventures.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Lincoln's speech delivered at Gettysburg National Cemetery on November 19 1863 has endured as a supreme distillation of American values. Over the past 150 years it has become a compelling testament to the sacrifices required to achieve freedom for all Americans. Lincoln made his speech at the cemetery's dedication some four months after the bloody and pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Edward Everett the most famous orator of his day spoke first and his address took some ninety minutes to deliver. He evoked the ancient Greeks who save their society by defeating the Persians at Marathon drew upon Wellington's victory over Napoleon at Waterloo and then moved to a history of the Battle of Gettysburg—America's decisive victory in the struggle to save the nation. Though a masterpiece of period it has been largely forgotten.</p><p>Lincoln's speech delivered in only a few minutes has persisted despite his assertion that "the world will little note nor long remember what we say here." Much has been written about Lincoln's famous speech from whether he read it or memorized it to when and where he wrote it. Many Americans believe Lincoln wrote the speech on the back of an envelope while riding the train to Gettysburg. This charming piece of fiction originated in Mary Shipman Andrews's 1906 book <i>The Perfect Tribute</i>. The real Address's writing is more complex. When Secretary of State William Seward gave a prepared speech on the evening of November 18 he gave a copy to the Associated Press. Reporters then repeatedly harassed John Hay one of Lincoln's personal secretaries for a copy of the President's speech. Hay demurred having neither the text nor any idea when it would be available. Based on the paper Lincoln used for his two drafts one page of Executive Mansion stationery and a page of lined paper then 2 identical pages of lined paper historian Gabor Boritt has concluded that the "likelihood remains that having written the first part of his speech in Washington Lincoln finished his First Draft in the evening in Gettysburg and then hurriedly wrote his Second Draft the next morning" Boritt 273. The text of the second draft is closest to the words recorded by reporters at the scene and is generally considered to be Lincoln's reading copy.</p><p>Newspaper copies and reports are another story one complicated by the fact that most witnesses to the dedication ceremony and speech outlived Lincoln by decades. But the words he spoke at Gettysburg only gained traction as his seminal contribution in the 1880s. As both the Lincoln legend and the speech's significance grew following the Civil War Reconstruction the Centennial and the rise of Jim Crow many more people than could have been possibly involved in the event have staked their claims to a Gettysburg Address connection.</p><p>With the advent of the telegraph news reporting had become big business and Lincoln surrounded himself with the press corps. Roy Basler editor of the <i>Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln</i> noted four reporters making shorthand notes of the speech: Associated Press and <i>New York Herald</i> reporter Joseph Gilbert <i>Boston Daily Advertiser</i> reporter Charles Hale and reporters from the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> and <i>Philadelphia Enquirer</i>. Gabor Boritt author of the definitive <i>The Gettysburg Gospel</i> adds John Hay one of Lincoln's personal secretaries to the list and refers to at least 23 additional reporters on the scene including many of Lincoln's allies in the Republican press. Known as "Lincoln's dog" <i>Philadelphia Press</i>owner John Forney offered a drunken pro-Lincoln rant on the evening before the speech but he was sober enough to wait for a slew of correspondents to arrive to take down his words.</p><p>What has come down as the standard version of the Address was compiled from Lincoln's drafts reports of what he spoke at the time and later revisions made by Lincoln himself. What is certain however is that "variations of the AP version reached more Americans in 1863 than any other" Boritt 239. The <i>New York Herald</i> received the text by telegraph and published it the next day. Later when Lincoln penned copies of his speech he is said to have referenced the AP report. A longtime story credits Joseph I. Gilbertof the Associated Press as having had "actually consulted Lincoln's delivery text briefly after the ceremony." This noted Garry Wills in 1992 "makes his version more authoritative for some scholars." Wills correctly credits the AP text as authoritative and in terms of cultural significance no other version had the reach of the AP's wording. The AP version and its slight variants usually comma placement and capitalization are easily identifiable because of the phrase "dedicated here to the refinished work…" rather than the correct "unfinished work."</p><p>However Gilbert's claim to be the reporter who delivered the AP's text does not withstand scrutiny. Gilbert did work for the AP at the time of the speech but he only made his assertion in 1914. In the ensuing fifty-four years the event's stature had grown to near-Biblical proportions. Gilbert recalled being so taken with Lincoln's words that he stopped recording the speech in shorthand. He claimed the President fortuitously allowed him to look at the manuscript copy and Gilbert insisted that "the press report was made from the copy no transcription from shorthand notes was necessary Boritt 371. However the AP version missed the word "poor" which other reporters caught and was present in the second draft; it also contained the phrase "under God" which was absent from the draft and notes five interruptions for applause followed by sustained applause at the speech's conclusion. When asked in 1917 Gilbert denied hearing any applause at all. These and other critical elements of the AP text cast serious doubt on Gilbert's claims.</p><p>Gabor Boritt writes that <i>Boston Daily Advertiser</i> reporter Charles Hale's eyewitness handwritten version should be preferred since it relied only on what Lincoln said; although one could counter-argue that he may not have captured Lincoln's words exactly. Both Boritt and Wills agree that while many other reporters' transcripts are generally inferior they nevertheless captured the word "poor" that both the AP and Hale missed. Interestingly when Hale's paper the <i>Boston Daily Advertiser</i> first published the Address on November 20 the paper incorrectly printed "The world will note nor long remember what we say here but it can never forbid what they did here" omitting the word "little" before "note" and changing "forget" to "forbid" —an odd discontinuity for a claim to the authoritative text though the reporter lamented that the speech had "suffered somewhat at the hands of telegraphers."</p><p>Versions printed on November 20 1863 are the Address's first appearance anywhere and are highly desirable as are other early printings. The <i>Washington Daily Chronicle</i> also owned by John Forney published Edward Everett's speech in its entirety but failed to include Lincoln's words in their November 20 edition so the paper published a 16-page pamphlet entitled "The Gettysburg Solemnities" dated November 22. It contained a number of the day's speeches and was the first time Lincoln's speech was printed separately. There are only three known copies a fourth disappeared from a library the last one on the market having sold at auction and then resold privately for approximately $650000. The first publication in book form printed by Baker and Godwin of New York was entitled <i>An Oration Delivered on The Battlefield of Gettysburg November 19 1863 at the Consecration of the Cemetery Prepared for the Interment of the Remains of Those Who Fell in the Battles of July 1st 2d and 3d 1863</i> also appeared within the week. Copies have sold privately for over $30000.</p><p><b>Gettysburg Address Manuscripts</b></p><p>Five manuscript versions written in Lincoln's hand are known. Library of Congress.</p><p>1. First draft the Nicolay copy after Lincoln's personal secretary John Nicolay. Library of Congress.</p><p>2. Second draft the Hay copy after Lincoln's personal secretary John Hay.</p><p>Much ink has been spilled over which of the first two was the copy Lincoln read; the answer is probably neither.</p><p>Three more versions were written later for charitable purposes and more closely approximate the words that Lincoln actually spoke.</p><p>3. The copy given to Edward Everett was intended as a fundraiser for the New York Metropolitan Fair; it is now at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield Illinois.</p><p>4.

Complete 4 pp. approx. 20¼ x 28 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>John Wien Forney</b> 1817-1881 had been a Democrat whose support for President James Buchanan brought appointment as clerk of the House of Representatives and lucrative printing contracts. However after Forney lost his election bid for the U.S. Senate he started the anti-Buchanan Philadelphia <i>Press</i> and switched to the Republican Party in 1860 becoming a key Lincoln supporter. Forney again served as House clerk and then secretary of the Senate until 1868. In that position he was one of only four men to sign the official 13th Amendment Resolution: President Lincoln Vice President Hamlin Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax and Forney writing "I certify that this Resolution originated in the Senate." At the same time he maintained his editorial "Letter from Occasional" column in the <i>Press</i> and established the Washington <i>Chronicle</i> aimed at the public and to soldiers in the Army of the Potomac. He interviewed the President on issues such as freedom of the press and the probable effects of the Emancipation Proclamation and was invited to consult about cabinet appointments. His White House access caused opponents to call him "Lincoln's dog."</p><p>The night before the Gettysburg Cemetery Forney got "roaring drunk and gave a violently pro-Lincoln speech" Boritt. Given that history he probably should not have been chosen to chaperone newly-elected vice president Andrew Johnson at the March 4 1865 inauguration; Johnson was widely criticized for his drunken performance there. After Lincoln's assassination and Johnson's veto of the Freedman's Bureau Act in 1868 Forney changed positions and campaigned for impeachment. Selling the <i>Chronicle</i> and returning to Philadelphia the chameleon-like editor switched back to the Democrats and started a weekly magazine <i>The Progress</i>. In addition he served as a director of the Texas & Pacific Railway.</p><p><b>Partial Transcript:</b></p><p>"<i>Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Three cheers given for the President of the United States and the Governors of the States…</i>"</p><p><b>Textual Differences</b></p><p>The speed with which printings were produced given 19th century communication issues and the lack of any official manuscript or text produced questions about Lincoln's exact words. This version includes the word "poor" in the line "<i>far above our <b>poor</b> power to add or detract.</i>" This was heard by some reporters and is present in both of Lincoln's drafts though is lost in most other contemporary printings. This version correctly quotes Lincoln's "<i>unfinished work</i>" which the AP incorrectly transcribed as "refinished work." The applause notations also differentiates the <i>Philadelphia Press</i> version from the AP report especially with the three cheers at the speech's conclusion.</p><p>Additional differences:</p><p>- The "<i>general battle-field of that war</i>" is the "great battle-field of that war" in the AP text.</p><p>- "<i>We are met to dedicate</i>" is "We have come to dedicate" in Lincoln's written copies.</p><p>- "<i>carried on</i>" is found here and in Lincoln's second draft but Lincoln used "advanced" in subsequent versions: "<i>have thus so far</i> so <i>nobly</i> carried on advanced"</p><p><b>Other Contents of the Paper</b></p><p>Page 1 starts with a column of advertising ie "<i>Cotton is not king yet.-I am selling linen sheetings at prices that are cheaper than cotton.</i>" The news begins with a report from Chattanooga: "<i>We lost 100 a fourth of whom were killed.

A New York bank was rumored to have been robbed of $20000.</p><p>From Europe there's notice of a speech of Emperor Napolean III the differing interpretations as to whether it called for peace or war. There are reports of war like preparations in Russia.</p><p>An interesting notice: "<i>A slander on Mr. Lincoln refuted.-The remark said to have been ascribed to President Lincoln by Wendall Phillips to the affect that 'the greatest folly of his life was the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation' out of which such Copperhead journals as The World and The National Intelligencer are attempting to make political capital is emphatically pronounced in high quarters to be all together untrue.</i>"</p><p>Column 4 starts the extensive reporting on the National Cemetery at Gettysburg dedication including a "documentary history on the battles of July" and General Meade's letter sending his official report on the battle.</p><p>Column 5 discusses the grounds of the cemetery and starts Edward Everett's two hour oration which on page 2.
