There is new information about a copy of the Gettysburg Address that an Oklahoma family discovered. They had hoped it was a valuable copy in Lincoln's own handwriting. It is on a brown piece of parchment and clearly in the handwriting of Abraham Lincoln, but new research on the document by Gilcrease Museum, with confirmation by the Lincoln Library in Illinois, has determined the paper is a reproduction, and it's not valuable.

It's an old, but mass produced copy of Lincoln's handwritten speech.
