Lincoln's Gettysburg Address Recitation By Harry E. Humphrey Victor Record 1914

My Friends: Today is the 151st Anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.  In this video, you will hear a record from the Victor label (catalog number: 35377) from 1914 featuring a recitation of Abraham Lincoln's Speech by Harry E. Humphrey being played on a Victor Victrola Model 4 (VV-IV) from 1915.  The introduction on the record features the long-debunked belief that Lincoln wrote the Speech on the train heading to Gettysburg.
