The “rubber box” or did Laura Keene indeed held Lincoln’s head?

[Linda Anderson]

Here's another description from my earlier post in this thread:

"The 'Lincoln dress' referred to was the dress worn by Laura Keene in the play "Our American Cousin," the night President Lincoln was shot. It was described as a 'white silk gown, with colored figures,' and was said to have been stained by the martyred President's blood. It was regarded as a valuable historical relic, and the actress and her family had refused large sums offered them for it."
