Lincoln at Ford's Theatre

[loetar44]

Thanks Roger. I think 11 is indeed close to the right number: five times in 1863, three times in 1864 and two times in 1865, inclusive the 10 February 1865 visit (as Steers says: "overlooked by virtually all students and authors of the Lincoln story") mentioned in the 1983 Linconian you attached. Add to these 5+3+2 = 10 the visit Lincoln made on Sunday, May 28, 1862 when Ford's was known under the name Ford's Atheneum (from March 19 to December 30, 1862). This brings the total to 11. However, Roger, your book speaks of "at least 11". So I'm really looking forward to Eva's upcoming post! Thanking you in advance Eva. Also curious who accompanied Lincoln....
