"The Gettysburg Address recited by some of the best voiceover talent in the country: David McCullough, Ken Burns, Sam Waterston, Matthew Broderick, Stephen Lang and Medal of Honor recipient Paul W. Bucha. Musical score provided by Oscar-winning composer John Williams. Video was created in opposition to a proposed casino 1/2 mile from the Gettysburg National Military Park. All celebs, crew, editors, and musicians volunteered for No Casino Gettysburg. http://www.NoCasinoGettysburg.org"
And to think that this speech was originally thought a failure by many, and doubted perhaps by Lincoln himself.
Whew, the world has changed a lot over the last 148 years!

Kellie - welcome to the blogging community! Your genea history sounds a lot like mine. I've also been working on my family history about 25 years, and find myself having to "re do" much as I had no clue what constituted good research, analysis and sourcing. Anyway, hope you enjoy blogging (and I LOVE your blog title!)
