Unwanted Facts, blah, blah, blah

Nope. You're all wrong. I have it on good authority (a friend of mine was traveling out east and someone gave him a pamphlet walking down the sidewalk) that Mary Lincoln was the one who shot Abe in the box at Ford's. Who cares about the fieldglasses? Sense the sarcasm yet? Always a fun discussion, though!

Paul, your friend's pamphlet is right on - the author of the pamphlet obtained his research here:

I wonder if the name of the pamphlet's author was also withheld by request...

The wonders never cease! I have seen the pistol several times, and the pearl handle must have escaped me. Someone really must get this to the New York Times or MSNBC and get the word out. (Again, anyone sense the sarcasm?)
