The Lincoln funeral and the nearly 1,700-mile epic journey of the
funeral train was the biggest single event to happen in the lives
of American citizens at the time. At least seven million
people-without the aid of radio, television, or internet-actually
witnessed some part of the historic occasion. Eyewitness accounts
from nearly 150 years ago and historic images present this
remarkable journey of President Abraham Lincoln's remains, from the
nation's Capitol to his final resting place in Springfield,
Illinois. More than 440 cities, towns, villages and byways were on
the route in 1865, and each is included in this fascinating volume.
The veteran author draws from reports, documents, and contemporary
narratives to finally fully present the event. Long-forgotten
photographs and dozens of Lincoln-handled documents are included,
adding further authentic flavor to this enthrallingly detailed,
true-story of the historic Lincoln Funeral Train.
