The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation is a full-color
illustrated look at Abraham Lincoln's most famous speech, the bloody
battle of the Civil War that prompted it, and how they led to a defining
point in the history of America.
Most of us can recall "Four score and seven years ago," but much of what
we know about Abraham Lincoln's oration has been forgotten after high
school.
Using Lincoln's words as a keystone, and drawing from first-person
accounts, The Gettysburg Address shows us the events through the eyes
of those who lived through the events of the War, from soldiers to
slaves.
Writer Jonathan Hennessey and illustrator Aaron McConnell illuminate
history with vibrant, detailed graphics and captions that deliver a
fresh understanding of this vital speech.
