The Backstory: The Gettysburg Address in Real Time

We take a look behind the scenes the night before Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19th, 1863. It’s from the diary of one of Lincoln’s private secretaries. John Hay was 25 years old, drinking whiskey with older guys, and getting a little snarky about his boss. Who hasn’t been there?
