Last known picture of Abraham Lincoln

[RJNorton]

Kees, this error can be traced back many years, but I don't really know the exact origin. Lincoln Day By Day erroneously lists the photo as April 10, and the source given is The Photographs of Abraham Lincoln by Frederick Hill Meserve, Carl Sandburg (Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1944). In the War Years Sandburg writes that the photo was taken during the second week of April, 1865. However, as there are no footnotes, I don't have a specific source for Sandburg's misinformation.
