Darrell, I had never previously read that either. Also, the author says Stanton showed the surviving print to Robert Lincoln (who thought it was in poor taste). I do not remember ever reading before that Robert was consulted about the print. There is no endnote for this - has anyone ever read that Robert was consulted about the photo?
