From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
October 9
What came to be
termed The Gettysburg Address received poor press at the time. Here is what one
newspaper of the day had to say: 'The cheek of every American must tingle with
shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dish-watery utterances of the man who
has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United
States.'
‘Great spirits have
always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.’
- Albert Einstein
