The Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln was very active in his speech writing. He was precise with his edits and the words that he chose. By the time we went up to give a speech, it's exactly what he wanted to say.

Something that I had always thought was this wonderful free-flowing thing,. But you've explained there are sort of different iterations of this before he actually landed on the Gettysburg version.
