Lincoln's embalmment

[STS Lincolnite]

Blaine, I will add my name to the list of those thanking you for your post.

I read through posts regarding the bullet, path, etc. and after work tonight was planning to sit down, dig through materials from my grad school neuroanatomy class (not my practice area and too many years ago to accurately remember ) and work through the most likely damaged structures and what the most likely clinical presentation/outcomes would have been. I will still do some self re-educating but you have saved me a lot of time and narrowed my focus considerably!

Blaine, do you have, are you aware of or could you recommend a diagram (drawn to scale, etc.) that would be superior to Dr. Lattimer's? I am in the process of preparing a talk on the assassination for the 150th anniversery and I know the question of whether or not he could have survived today will come up. I want to be prepared to answer questions, and photos/diagrams always help people understand - myself included!
