Abraham Lincoln: Oration
This oration on Abraham Lincoln by Michael Burnham offers a portrait of the sixteenth President of the United States. Delivered in 1895, the work reflects the late 19th-century perspective on Lincoln's life, leadership during the Civil War, and enduring legacy. Burnham's speech provides valuable insight into how Lincoln was viewed by his contemporaries and the generations that immediately followed his presidency.
The oration serves as a primary source for understanding the historical context of Lincoln's time and the shaping of his image in American memory. It is of particular interest to students and researchers of American history, the Civil War, and the art of oratory.
