Docs & Dialogue: Lincoln @ Gettysburg
Thursday, November 12th, 4:00 p.m.
In 1863, Lincoln mastered a new frontier — not
the battlefield, but the War Department
Telegraph Office, the “internet” of its day —
commanding distant generals in real time. That
pioneering use of technology led him to
Gettysburg, where a pivotal battle inspired his
272-word address recasting the American ideal.
