President Lincoln gave his famous 2 minute Gettysburg Address, at the dedication of the national cemetery but the Gettysburg Address was NOT the opening speech, at the dedication. The opening speech was made by Edward Everett, a noted orator from Massachusetts; it lasted 2 hours, followed by President Lincoln's 2 minute address.
