This is a review of "Gettysburg Address [Kindle Edition]" - which is a 9 kb text of only the Gettysburg Address. I mention this because there are several different books available containing the Gettysburg address. For example, there is an illustrated version The Gettysburg Address, as well as several others.Written and delivered in the days before electronic recordings, there is some question about "exactly" what words Abraham Lincoln spoke to the crowd at Gettysburg. As it stands now, there are five manuscripts of the Gettyburg Address extant:1. John Nicolay Copy2. John Hay Copy3. Edward Everett Copy4. George Bancroft Copy5. Alexander Bliss CopyIn addition, a version was transcribed by the New York Times and printed on November 20, 1863.This Kindle edition is a slight redaction of the Bancroft Copy. The differences are minor. The word written as "battle-field" by Lincoln is typed as "battlefield" in this version. Additionally, the punctuation is a bit distracting with the frequent use of ellipses in place of Lincoln's written dashes. Other than these minor nits, this is a useful text of the Gettysburg Address, one of the greatest speeches ever written and delivered.
