Killing Lincoln - Nat Geo (Reactions)

[RJNorton]

John, regarding the spikey hair image...here's what I have...it was an early 1865 stereograph of Lincoln taken by Lewis Emory Walker, no exact date known (but possibly February). Lincoln may have had his hair cut short for Mills' life mask. The hair looks so different from Gardner's photos I would think it came after February 5, but I do not have an exact date on the Walker stereograph. Lloyd Ostendorf is my source for this.
