I must admit that seeing the Davis desk and imagining Lincoln at it with his feet up (if the story is true) made me angry

I understand your anger. I feel disappointed in President Lincoln if this is true. I believe I have read that Lincoln sat in Jefferson Davis' chair but not the part about putting his feet on the desk. Do you know if there is an eyewitness account of a person who actually saw this happen? If not, maybe this account of feet on desk is apocryphal?
