Ok this continues off a previous question I wrote on the Gettysburg
address, where I asked for the speech given before President
Lincoln's.  Where according to my History Book "A well known orator
gave a long speech before Lincoln"

To answer this question you must produce:

1) The EXACT text of that speech

Dear tekiegreg,

The Oration Speaker of the dedication of the new soldiers' cemetery at
Gettysburg, who spoke before Lincoln, was Edward Everett. Everett's
"Gettysburg Oration" contained over 14,000 words and was two hours
long. Here is its full text, with notes added by Everett himself for
publication:
