Abraham Lincoln’s
Cooper Union Address…
…in which one of American political history’s truly towering figures makes his stake for power with his epochal maiden New York City speech…
February the 27th…
1860
Part One…
“ No former effort in the line of speech-making had cost Lincoln so much time & thought as this one…”
Barely a Household Name in his own household* at this particular point in history, Fifty-One year old Abraham, a man ahead of his time & old before his years has spent the previous weeks…
“Deep in study, writing, reviewing, revising & re-writing…”
…the speech that he hopes will change not only his own life but the lives of…
…millions!
Now all the lanky Illinoisan Lawyer has to do is…
Stand
&
Deliver!
…Highwayman was he ?
…One man’s Highwayman, etc…
