Its themes of liberty, equality and government by the people give this Civil War text its continuing resonance.This is Dirksen’s later interpretation, recorded for the 1966 Capitol Records album. H. Paul Jeffers conceived and wrote the album’s historical presentation; John Cacavas composed and conducted its music.Pair this selection with “The Story of Gettysburg” in the collection for the historical setting behind Lincoln’s words.Discover more historical audio and classic radio at Heritage Radio Vault.Browse the Heritage Radio Vault show directory.Follow this collection in your podcast app and share it with someone who enjoys American history and archival recordings.🎧 American Adventure on Heritage Radio VaultDiscover historical narration, archival spoken-word recordings and stories from America’s past.📻 Explore classic radio drama, comedy, mystery and adventure at Heritage Radio Vault.🔔 Follow this collection in your podcast app and share a favourite recording.✉️ Recording information and enquiries: [email protected]
