Five drafts and One Sophie Book ago…

If you don’t have it already, install the Sophie Reader on your computer and take a look at this version of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

It features five drafts of the famous speech, displayed so that you can compare and contrast the different versions and gain an insight into Lincoln’s approach to speechwriting.

Oh, and it also has an audio layer:  Johnny Cash reading the speech.
