Does anyone know where "Bourne by Loving Hands is Today?" Ford's Theatre?

And on the topic of Petersen House: I recently read "Lincoln's Last Battleground." Robert T. Bain, a direct descendant of William Petersen tells how the Petersen family was affected by the events surrounding Lincoln's assassination. It's an interesting and heartfelt read.

I too,enjoyed Mr. Bain's book. It is concise, but well written and presents a vivid interpretation of what was going on in the Petersen house in the hours following the assassination.
