Lincoln's Hands

[L Verge]

I'm trying to remember the details of a letter I got over a decade ago from someone whose relative had rebuilt the replica of the Lincoln rocker for Ford's Theatre's restoration. I turned the information over to the NPS, but if I remember correctly, the elderly gentleman was an unreconstructed Rebel and wrote Sic Semper Tyrannis on the chair's supports before the upholstery went on. Remember the bumper sticker of the old Reb with the words "Forget, Hell!"?

Jim Garrett -- did I tell that correctly?
