Most people tell me I'm lame, but standing where Lincoln stood on November 19, 1863 was cool . . . certainly an important part of my Gettysburg trip. I think my elementary school history teachers would be proud.

Trivia: Did you know that there is only one photograph of Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address? Apparently none of the photographers were prepared for such a short speech (272 words, I think . . . depending on which version you feel he actually delivered) and due to the lengthy process of setting up, most everyone missed the shot.
