While Boritt covers everything surrounding Gettysburg from the height of the grass, bodies and how they were buried, slave and free activities, and more, he leaves out an in-depth analysis of the speech itself (or any analysis for that matter), which for me is a gross slight. His attention to everything surrounding the Battle, day of the speech, weather, and details galore miss the fact that he leaves out what I would consider the gospel of Gettysburg, which is big mistake plus the description of everything else tends to get tedious and dry.Probably more of a 2.5.

Turns out that our national day of Thanksgiving isn't all about turkey and Pilgrims after all.
