RE: The tragical procession
Actually, I was aware that young Stanton was not the son of the Secretary of War, but I had never bothered to track down this gentleman's true identity. Thanks for the information.
The article I referred to is very long on the AL Classroom, and I deleted most of it - including the large number of sources that they cited. I just was not buying the earlier premise that Lincoln's body went down the street sans coffin and wanted mention of the hearse. BTW. I missed one "hearse" in the account I posted. That word is actually used three times and "carriage" more than once.
