A Special Bonus
Two of the nation's most important documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address are woven into the storyline of One April in Boston. The audio book contains a wonderful bonus track - a version of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address performed by Jim Getty.
Mr. Getty has portrayed Abraham Lincoln in historic Gettysburg since 1978. Getty's voice is that of the 16th President in 2 A&E programs (1) Abraham Lincoln; A Biography, and (2) The Lincoln Assassination. Mr. Getty recites the Gettysburg Address each year at ceremonies held at Gettysburg National Cemetery.
Jim Getty's rendition is a real treat. His voice captures Lincoln's as those who knew the President described it. Lincoln was a
tenor, both high-pitched and shrill, and not a baritone as many have come to believe. Listen to two brief samples below.
