Webliography : Greatest American Speeches of the 20th Century: Speaker Name
Index
Busse Library provides this website as a resource
for students and faculty seeking the locations of famous American speeches.
The Speaker-Name Index offers the ranked results
of the project with links from names to the master list, which then displays
full website and print resources.
This project is based upon the
"Top 100
American Speeches of the 20th Century," a project of the communications
departments of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Texas A&M University.
A full ranking of all the speeches and their texts can be found as the
"Top 100
