Offhand I cannot think of a single historian who has ever questioned the legitimacy of Dr. Ron Rietveld's magnificent find.
teaching history per the AHA, is leading the student to
the insight that history is a process of living inquiry, not an inert collection of accepted facts, and avoidance of conflict f interest, or bias, and conduct free of ridicule and the ability to protect new historical sourse materials ,to respect others views even if they differ from your own . I feel nobody gave this photo a chance because of ron rietvelds lead by the nose planted find . and once you bullies started to deny the obvious only post mortum of abe Lincoln the rest of you fell in line . no one addressed my challenges , no one compared his features that are truly distinct, despite the brady stand it is a post mortum his lips are sewn shut, set in a slight smile .clean shaven like the embalmers report you posted on this site , that statue in the coffin is just that . deal with it ! I wonder how many artifacts are lost due to historians non scientific approach and failure to consider. I am very disappointed in this matter , but thank you rj Norton for posting , and good day to all of you.
