A crowd gathered at Gettysburg is the subject here, and its caption links the scene to the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery on November 19, 1863, when Abraham Lincoln delivered his address. Edward Everett, the day's principal speaker, had already addressed the assembly for about two hours, and Lincoln's remarks lasted only a few minutes but became some of the most quoted words in American history. The caption card gives no date, so the record alone cannot confirm the exact moment captured. Still, the dense mass of listeners offers a sense of how many people came to honor the Union dead.
