Child Eyewitness of The Gettysburg Address

“the voice of William V. Rathvon, who as a nine-year-old boy watched and listened to Abraham Lincoln deliver his address at Gettysburg in November 1863.

“The story was told on February 12, 1938 and recorded on a 78 rpm. record. No other Gettysburg eyewitness is known to have recorded his memories in audio format.”
