There's a very good episode on AmericanHistoryTV (cspan3) about the exact location of the speakers stand where Lincoln gave the G.A.

It combines using period photos and 3D technology. I found it hard to disagree after watching it.

I don't know how to add "read more", so look for 2022 Lincoln Forum Photo of Lincoln at Gettysburg.

Thank you Greg for posting this and thank you Brian for making it a "read more." That was a fascinating video. It convinced me. I'm planning on driving down to Gettysburg some day this coming week to get in some volunteer time with the Park Watch program and definitely plan to go into the cemetery to check out the "exact" spot mentioned in this video.

Best regards,

Tom Barrett

Hi Tom

I was just down there for a few days 2 weeks ago. I ran across this video after I got home, but will be down again this summer.

Maybe you'll hear something about his meeting with the NPS while you're there?

Brian, & Greg,

Great site, I think C-span History site is a great source! All MHO'ers should check it out!?

Thanks,
MD
