The Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln audiobook.
Genre: speeches
After having written and released an initial draft of this proclamation in September of 1862, minor changes were made and Lincoln signed it on January 1st, 1863. It declared free the slaves in 10 states not then under Union control, with exemptions specified for areas already under Union control in two states. Lincoln spent the next 100 days preparing the army and the nation for emancipation, while Democrats rallied their voters in the 1862 off-year elections by warning of the threat freed slaves posed to northern whites.
Once the abolition of slavery in the rebel states became a military objective, as Union armies advanced south, more slaves were liberated until all three million of them in Confederate territory were freed. Lincoln's comment on the signing of the Proclamation was: 'I never, in my life, felt more certain that I was doing right, than I do in signing this paper.'

The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln audiobook.
Genre: speeches
It was a cloudy November day in 1863 when thousands gathered to hear renowned orator Edward Everett dedicate a national cemetery at the site of a pivotal battle early in July of that year. Also present to deliver 'a few appropriate remarks' was the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln spoke but 278 words; Everett later wrote to the President, 'I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes.' Though there are surviving transcripts of Everett's lengthy speech, it is Lincoln's words which have come to be known as 'The Gettysburg Address'

The Boys Life of Mark Twain by Albert Bigelow Paine audiobook.
Genre: biography
In The Boys Life of Mark Twain, Albert Bigelow Paine tells the true story of how Samuel Langhorne Clemens became the writer the world would later know as Mark Twain. Written with young listeners in mind, this brisk biography follows Clemens from his boyhood on the Mississippi River frontier through the hard knocks and odd jobs that shaped his voice: apprentice printer, riverboat dreamer, wandering traveler, and sharp-eyed reporter learning how to turn everyday adventures into unforgettable tales. Along the way, Paine introduces the people and places that left their mark on him - family, friends, bustling river towns, and the larger-than-life characters he met while chasing work and opportunity. As Clemens struggles to find direction, earn a living, and prove he can do more than merely get by, his humor and stubborn curiosity become tools for survival. The book traces the early turning points of his career and the experiences that fed his imagination, showing how a restless young man with a quick wit gradually discovered the path that would make him famous.
