[edit] Edward Everett Hale?

Was the orator (Gettysburg) Edward Everett a relation to Edward Everett Hale ("A Man Without a Country") and therefore, a relation to Edward Everett Horton, the actor (E.E.Hale's grandson)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.250.36.38 (talk • contribs) 19:53, Jan 2, 2005

[1] EE Hale was Everett's nephew. Kaisershatner 19:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing wording

"In 1863 he delivered a two-hour Gettysburg Oration that has been eclipsed in history by President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, which he praised as superior to his own." Who? Everett praised Lincoln's address, or Lincoln praised Everett's? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.134.247.212 (talk • contribs) 22:24, July 11, 2007

I fixed this, text later in the article makes it clear that Everett praised Lincoln's speech, not the other way around. Rickterp (talk) 17:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
