Classic American Speeches collects over fifty speeches spanning more than two centuries that are an index to America’s history and the many rights and causes its citizens have fought for and defended. Their speakers are soldiers and statesmen, politicians and presidents, laymen and laywomen, all of whom represent the best and brightest orators of their times and who knew the best ways to engage their audience—we, the people of the United States.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Barnes & Noble</note> <subject> <topic>United States</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>English language -- Speeches</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">815</classification> <classification authority="ddc">B261-N75</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781435146716</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16436/10.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16436/10.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2025-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071609.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
