The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation is a fully-illustrated and an entirely new look at one of the most important speeches in American history: a speech burdened with the weighty task of having to hearten and inspire a divided nation. The Gettysburg Address (William Morrow, 9780061969768) does this by building on the elegant, chronological structure in which Lincoln coded his words. In separate chapters, the adaptation dissects each portion of the Address to reexamine the entire Civil War and meditate on its place in our history.
