The Gettysburg Address:

1
The Gettysburg Address A visual Journey By
Donald J. Bierschbach
2
Four score and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth on this continent, a new nation,
conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal.
3
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure.
4
We are met on a great battle-field of that war.
5
We have come to dedicate a portion of that
field, as a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that nation might live.
6
It is altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this.
7
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we
can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it, far above
our poor power to add or detract.
8
The world will little note nor long remember what
we say here, but it can never forget what they
did here.
9
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly advanced.

10
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us -- that from these
honored dead

we take increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure of devotion
14
That we here highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain, that this nation, under
God, shall have a new birth of freedom

and that government of the people,
17
by the people,
by the people,
18
for the people, shall not perish from the earth
