A Three-Minute Speech: Lincoln's Remarks at Gettysburg

(4) K-3 Milestone Books series. Illustrated by Albert Lorenz. This is a lively recounting of the events leading up to Lincoln's famous speech. Younger readers will find the story-behind-the story interesting (including a section dispelling several myths, such as that the speech was written on the back of an envelope on the train ride there). However, the historical background, beginning with the Revolutionary War, may be a bit too long for some readers to wade through. Websites. Bib.
