    In Chicago, "as the funeral car passed under a magnificent arch, thirty-six young women in white placed wreaths upon the coffin or car." --Report in Harper's Weekly. The entire report, with illustrations, may be read here: www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/civil-war/1865/May/ab...

    The funeral train of Abraham Lincoln lingers on in our memory, across the generations of time since 1865. I still have a tear or so in my right melanomic eye lobe for Father Abraham. (eye cancer). His memory endures forever! R.I.P. Father Abraham.

President Lincoln on battle-field of Antietam, October, 1862 (LOC)

    One of the many interesting aspects, to me, of this much reproduced photo is the figure at right in the big hat with his hand on a saber: George Armstrong Custer.
  • Gary Weaver said:
    To my view, they are all little men but one. Sacket might give him a go.
  • fw652830 said:
    I never visited the Antietam Battlefield, but I DID visit Gettysburg, the Battle of the Wilderness, Chancelorsville, and Fredericksburg. It's a sobering visit and moment in your lifetime to traverse soil that was drenched in the blood of Union and Confederate soldiers. Hallowed ground, that these sites are. But, in the words of Ulysses S. Grant at the Appomattox Courthouse, " These (Confederate) men were once our enemy....they are now our fellow countrymen." And so, the confederates merely dropped their rifles, and went fishing for the rest of the day.

    I wonder why this photo was copied with the book and the large margin included. It would be nice to be able to see the picture as it was originally taken,

[Willie and Tad Lincoln, sons of President Abraham Lincoln, with their cousin Lockwood Todd] (LOC)

  • Cathi Stahl said:
    I love the look Lockwood has for his young cousin Tad! So inspiring!
  • fw652830 said:
    It is always refreshing to see the kinfolk of Father Abraham, in more restful moments in time. The passage of the generations have melted the memories of these peripheral characters on the Civil War scene, but they are nonetheless part of our cherished history of late 19th century Americana.

    Wow fw, that is a beautiful way to put it. Abe loved those boys more than anyone will know. He was never the same after Willie died. I've read that he used to let them play in the office during cabinet meetings.

    A very rare carte indeed...in 15 years of doing Lincolniana I have seen only one.

    LOC has 2 of these and they were taken by a stereo camera - and fortunately the 2 that LOC has were taken by the opposite lens so that they form a matching L /R pair and will create a 3D stereo image. Red / cyan anaglyph posted here: www.flickr.com/photos/110677094@N05/12585245743/ -PT
