Looking for Abraham Lincoln

[RJNorton]

The degree of Lincoln's bleeding has been something of a mystery to me. Seaton Munroe saw Laura Keene afterwards and reported, "Her hair and dress were in disorder, and not only was her gown soaked with Lincoln’s blood, but her hands, ever her cheeks where her fingers had strayed were bedaubed with the sorry stains." If we are to believe Munroe, then Lincoln bled more than some books say. Of course, Munroe could have confused the blood with Rathbone's blood, if that's what it was.
