Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
Lincoln, Abraham. Sixteenth President of the United States, the great “War President”; born in Hardin County, KY, Feb. 12, 1809; died at Washington, April 15, 1865. His ‘Address’ on the occasion of the dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg, PA, Nov. 19, 1863, is justly esteemed one of the most memorable utterances of human eloquence; classic also is his ‘Second Inaugural Address’ of March 4, 1865.
