16th President of the United States, ABRAHAM LINCOLN hand-signed typescript of the legendary GETTYSBURG ADDRESS, delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, PA on the afternoon of November 19, 1863. Lincoln's speech came just four and a half months after the Union armies defeated Confederate forces at Gettysburg in the single deadliest day of the Civil War. A rare memento of one of the most famous speeches in American history, and an enduring testament to democracy's resilience.
