Someone Has Stolen Lincoln's Hand

[Eva Elisabeth]

Like the ham reference, too (as every illustrating comparison). Reminds me of a story I am so sure to have read but never found again when searching for - it (supposedly) was the account of either a general or someone like Lamon, who happened to be present when President Lincoln received a suspicious, heavy, huge package that was finally opened with great care (and fear), and inside turned out to be a ham. Does anyone know? (If not I probably shall quote a well-known historian: "If it didn't happen that way it should have!")
