RE: Lincoln and the secret service
I have scoured every source I can think of and still cannot find any mention of Lincoln's signing legislation on April 14, 1865 creating that body. The Secret Service went into operation in July of that year so something must have occurred early to create the agency. I agree with Roger that you would think that Lincoln Day-by-Day would have a reference to this. I am surprised at the lack of documentation.
