Gettysburg Address

Larry Ferlazzo brought the Gettysburg Address to my attention a few weeks ago.

As Wikipedia points out, Gettysburg Address is a speech by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and is one of the most well-known speeches in United States history. It was delivered by Lincoln during the American Civil War, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg.

The video is also important because it is one of the entrants in the 2012 Vimeo Awards. As you know, Vimeo is a more artistic alternative to YouTube, as you can check out for yourself by just having a quick look at some of the videos competing this year.
