"The principal substance of what follows comprises the complete text of Edward Everett's 'Gettysburg Address'. I have not attempted formal explication or criticism of the text, since sufficient numbers of Everett's biographers, Civil War historians, and specialists in public address and oral rhetoric have already published their reactions, opinions, and conclusions. Instead, I have set before readers of Everett's text a clean plate, providing only the utensils of annotation--principally historical and biographical details for those who need to consult them. I intend this volume as a means of introducing Edward Everett and his 'Address' to those persons who have not gathered, heretofore, any knowledge of the man or his presence at Gettysburg on 19 November 1863." -Samuel J. Rogal ("Introduction")
