A Magnificent Find - Welcome Dr. Ron Rietveld

[Rsmyth]

Along with Gardener's photos of the execution, this photo is one of the most iconic associated with the assassination. The rights to the picture belong to the Springfield, Lincoln Library and Museum. They charge a fee for the use of the image. I wonder if the doctor would have to pay to include the photograph in a publication! I also wonder if, as a 12 year old boy when he realized just what a historical find he had uncovered. Anyway it is exciting that you have joined this group.
