Lincoln Movie - Your Reviews

[Ham920]

In a prior post I made I had stated that I was unaware of any time other than the Confederate attack against D.C. when Lincoln was on a battlefield strewn with bodies. In reviewing Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals” she states that Lincoln did indeed travel over the Fort Stedman Battlefield when he visited Grant at City Point, VA. about 8 miles from the battle. The movie was correct in portraying Lincoln traveling over the battlefield which was still covered with dead and wounded.
