Lincoln's own handwriting and signature make this text more than a printed reproduction of the speech. He delivered the address on November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery, where Union dead from the battle of July 1863 were being buried. At the speech's brief length, about two minutes, the words were already famous, and in the months afterward Lincoln was asked repeatedly to write out copies by hand. Surviving manuscripts differ slightly in wording and punctuation, so comparing versions shows how he refined the text.
