Re-Enactment Film #1 - Nor Long Remember

A rare government re-enactment film in which Abraham Lincoln delivers his Gettysburg Address followed by a panel discussion about the ceremony, days later, in a small country store.

To some, Lincoln is thought to be a long winded, simple man and his "Gettysburg Address" is predicted to be his downfall in the next Presidential election. Many famous people and events regarding the Civil War are discussed.
