Lincoln's 1865 Autopsy Report and Death Certificate

[maharba]

Virtually the hallmark of the preacher Noyes Miner articles are that "Lincoln was in good spirits but tired and his right hand swollen, his right arm sore from handshaking". And he at least began saying this at lecture, by 1872. But since there are several other reports to the contrary: that Lincoln seemed fit and comfortable and did not complain (that last day of his life), then it must instead be that way. And the good preacher Rev.N.W.Miner surely was mistaken on that salient point, as well. I haven't 'searched' your Symposium, externally using google but I will try that method.
