The Gettysburg Address (as recited by Johnny Cash)

150 years ago today (Nov 19, 1863) Abraham Lincoln gave a 2 minute, 272-word speech at the dedication of the military cemetery at the Gettysburg battlefield. He thought it would soon be forgotten, but it became one of the most important speeches in American history.
