Thank you, Susan. James Tanner, for any who might not know was a Civil War veteran who lost both legs just below the knee. He later learned stenography and was present at the Peterson House when Lincoln died. He made comprehensive notes pertaining to the assassination that was later a manuscript in a book, which is available at this link:

Corporal Tanner had a significant role in other positions he held in life as well. There are many write-ups available for him.
