Hi,

This is really cool, thanks for putting it together. Can you add or provide a source for this data and how you obtained/compiled it?

Also, does each line represent an individual speech, or can speeches occupy multiple lines etc.

Finally, when and where do these speeches occur? Which one was given in say Virgina and Texas etc.

Thank you

Thanks for making this available!

While the text itself is nice to have, some more interesting tasks can be done if the data is split into separate speeches, in some form: e.g. looking at how his rhetoric evolved over time, generating narrative schemas from his text, etc.

It's hard to run NLP on it without adding artificial document splits, and a lot more can be done with the text with a few parses slapped on top.

This is a neat dataset. Just a note of warning: I think there may be duplicate entries of a given speech in here though, e.g. compare lines 939, 3969, and 4385 of speeches.txt (command-F for "best words")
