"Four score and seven years ago..." ( President Abraham Lincoln) I'm this short book it talks a little about President Abraham Lincoln. He was president at a very hard time in U.S history. The North & the South were at war, but he still had time to not only try to win the war and put a end to slavery he also wrote letters to Americans, help the people, and give speeches. His son Tad (Thomas) loved his father and loved to pretend to be a soilder and play and wrestle with his dad. Near the small town of Gettysburg a huge battle took place and nearly 43,000 men died total from both sides. President A. Lincoln was invited to give a short speech in honor of all the men. 15-20,000 people came to here the speeches. One man, Mr. Everett, spoke for nearly 2 hours whilst The Presidents speech was about 2 minutes lomg! Everyone would remember the So we h for many many years to come. I'm the back of this book there is a copy of the speech and I can see why it was and still is a very popular speech. Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews

This tells a lot of stuff about Lincolns life.like I never knew that Lincoln had a son named Tad ,but it was sad that Tad bit sick for a while but I'm glad he got better.when Lincoln first got President he wrote a speech with 271 words telling people that he wouldn't let us down.I loved this book .it is short but very packed with awesome /amazing facts I recommend this book to all ages and I rate this book 4/5 stars 😁 😁 Pizzagirl7 😁 😁
