RE: President Lincoln walked into Richmond...alone?
Back to the original question, according to "Abraham Lincoln" by Benjamin Thomas; in chpt 20, To Bind Up the Nations Wounds (p511)
"Lincoln, Porter and three other officers, entering Richmond with an escort of ten seamen armed with carbines, trudged two miles through the streets to General Weitzel's headquarters." (President Davis's house) He makes no mention of Tad or Crook. I think his curiosity got the best of him and after four long years he wanted to see that the was was almost over. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
