Killing Lincoln - Nat Geo (Reactions)

[Linda Anderson]

I need the DVD to be able to take in all the details of "Killing Lincoln" so I hope they will be available at the Conference. There is so much to absorb that it needs to be watched slowly and carefully like Tom Bogar did.

Erik, did you have Robert Lincoln accompanying his father in Richmond? I remember Tad, of course, but I could have completely missed Robert.

Fanny Seward writes about Lincoln's visit on April 9 while her father was bedridden. Lincoln "told us much about his visit to Richmond, & that one of his last [?] acts was going through a hospital of seven thousand men, & shaking hands with each one. He spoke of working as hard at it as sawing wood - & seemed, in his goodness of heart, much satisfied at the labor. He spoke of the escort that met him & took him into Richmond - & his son Robert with them."
