My wife found this and forwarded it to me. I hope it's not behind a pay wall for you. It's about a new analysis of exactly where Lincoln was standing when he delivered his address. Frassanito seems to accept it.

 
I just read this article this morning. Really interesting how he 'triangulated' multiple photographs to come up with a proposed location! I know that there are a couple of other proposed locations for the platform, so I expect there will be some controversy. I checked around a bit and couldn't find anything that this Prof Oakley has written himself about his project, so I guess this NYT article is probably the best source for now. I did see a comment from the ABT's Garry Adelman questioning the trapezoidal shape proposed by Oakley for the speakers' platform.
