Includes Acknowledgments and Introduction. "Great American Speeches is a collection that reflects the important issues that confronted the United States at significant moments from the Revolution to the day before yesterday. The speeches have been organized chronologically, so that the history of the American republic unfolds decade by decade, year by year, through the personal responses of the individuals who shaped events and ideas. The speeches are not merely patriotic or political but are representative of the entire life of the nation, of specific moments in history. Each address is prefaced by a concise introduction that places the words firmly in their historical context and provides background information on the life and accomplishments of the speaker. Included are speeches that are famed in themselves for the events they reflect of for the continually echoing eloquence of their worlds - among them, Patrick Henry's Liberty or Death speech, Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, William Jennings Bryan's Cross of Gold speech, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor message, John F. Kennedy's FIrst Inaugural Address, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington - "I Have a Dream" - address. In addition, the speeches of such great Americans as George Washington, James Madison, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Frederick Douglass, Lucy Stone, Mark Twain, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan, and Jesse Jackson combine elements of personal importance, oratorical skill, topical consequence, and memorable presentation. In Great American Speeches, the spoken words of notable Americans echo through the years of the republic to reveal, better than any history textbook, the nation's triumphs and crises, its soul and its deeds, its anguish and its dreams." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
