Hi Christine, This is perfect! I can use some of these. I have to write a 2000 word essay on a famous individual whose speech made a difference. Yeah, I really hate writing these things. I have to use citations, etc., etc. and I am not a happy camper. Thanks for the help...I really appreciate it.

I found four of the latter on Bookshare, and I've listed them below. If you do a title search for "speech," you'll also find some books on Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, on the speeches of Mark Twain, on some of Abraham Lincoln's most famous speeches, and a few other subjects that may be helpful.
