VARIOUS PROPERTIES
[LINCOLN, ABRAHAM, GETTYSBURG ADDRESS]. Printed program: Programme of Arrangements and Order of Exercises for the Inauguration of the National Cemetery at Geyttysburg, On the 19th of November, 1863...Ward H. Lamon, Marshall-in-Chief [page 3:] Order of Procession..., Washington: Gideon and Pearson, printers [1863]. 2 pages, 8vo. (printed on pages 1 and 3 only of a four-page sheet), pale blue paper, each page with decorative typographical borders, several pinholes. A rare printed program, issued in Washington, for the Gettysburg dedication ceremonies which featured Lincoln's well-known address. The text is signed in type by Ward Lamon, (1828-1893), whom Lincoln had known from his Illinois legal circuit and named Marshall of the district of Columbia. The exercises were, in sequence: "Music, Prayer, Music, Oration [Edward Everett's], Music, Dedicatory Remarks by the President of the United States, Dirge, Bedediction." Lamon's notes add such details as "the military will form in line, as the General in command may order, for the purpose of saluting the President...The ladies will occupy the right of the stand..." The Order of procession, probably worked out by Lamon and local officials, specifies the sequence in which the various bodies of officials, Congressmen, Senators, Masons, Fire Companies and other organizations were to take during the march to the cemetary. Rare.
