PBS: "Lincoln@Gettysburg"

In 1863, Abraham Lincoln proved himself a master of a new frontier--not on the battlefields of the Civil War, but in his "high-tech" command center, the War Department Telegraph Office. The results of Lincoln's pioneering experiment in electronic leadership would ultimately lead to the fields of Gettysburg. "Lincoln@Gettysburg" unfolds the greatest turning point in American history, the rebirth of a nation, and the dawn of the information age. Presented through Kanopy Streaming. 55 minutes. No registration.
