President Lincoln walked into Richmond...alone?

[Jim Garrett]

Anyway, back to AL walking alone. I don't think Rockett's Landing is 2 miles from the Confederate Executive Mansion (help me out here Betty O). I think that he was joined by his military escort much much earlier in his walk. Several accounts mention Tad with him, only William Crook's account from some 30 years later says that he was also in this group. The coal bomb, I have to doubt that one was in the Executive Mansion, let alone President Davis' office.

I believe I read somewhere that Lincoln opened Jefferson Davis' desk drawer and found a Confederate note. Could this be the note in his wallet at his death?
