Lincoln and his cane?

[RJNorton]

Hi Donna and welcome to the forum. Offhand, I think I have read that Lincoln brought a cane to Ford's Theatre. If anyone knows definitely please post! Donna, IMO, there was no physical reason that Lincoln needed to use a cane. Thus, although he had them, I do not think he ever really needed one.

During the autopsy at least one doctor was amazed at Lincoln's condition. Dr. Edward Curtis wrote, "I was simply astonished at the showing of the nude remains, where well-rounded muscles built upon strong bones told the powerful athlete. Now did I understand the deeds of prowess recorded of the President's early days."
