Just a Few Words, Mr. Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was a busy man. He had to run the country, win the war and look after his family. When he was asked to honor the soldiers who died in the great battle of Gettysburg, President Lincoln made time to say a few words about them too. With sensitivity and wit, Rex Robbins narrates Jean Fritz?s story about one of the most famous (and shortest) speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address. Directed by Ray Messecar, with stirring music by Bruce Zimmerman.
