RE: Lincoln's Wedding Ring
In my research, I found that some men DID wear wedding bands in the Victorian era, but it was not usually the norm. The wife almost always wore a plain gold band.

Here - General Hartranft does NOT wear a band - but Dr. Porter, standing behind him does -- and on his RIGHT hand; not his left.....
