The title places this handwritten text at the Executive Mansion, the White House, in 1863, which sets it apart from the many images of the battlefield on this board. Lincoln wrote out the address in his own hand, and he produced several manuscript copies over the following months, often at the request of people who wanted one for themselves. The speech itself was delivered on November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery, four months after the Union victory at Gettysburg. Edward Everett spoke for about two hours that day, and Lincoln's remarks lasted only a few minutes, yet the brief text became one of the most quoted documents in American history.
