Lincoln speech at Dayton courthouse

The political speeches Lincoln made in the fall of 1859 reviewed the arguments he had made during the previous year, in the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858. The picture of him talking in Dayton, Ohio, in front of the courthouse, is a typical scene of his speech-making tour.
