Hope it was terrible for him. Without him this country is 4 billion times better.

Fascinating presentation, documented by a great deal of fresh (new) historical data. Learned a lot and pleased to now know about Major Lafayette Guild's important contributions.

I hope you all know how appreciated your work is; even if educational youtube is ostracized by the algorithm. Those of us lucky enough to come across your content are grateful of your noble efforts.

Excellent

Strong work my friends!!

OMg great presentation

Is it just me or does that ranger look very much like Steve Rogers?

I been here before. 8th grade Washington DC trip… we went to Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Philadelphia, Washington DC

Russian propaganda and rewriting of history. In reality Britain and France were not planning to intervene in civil war since North was an important trade partner, too, and there was little desire for war in general. And even if they did, Russian navy was a joke, it would have been sunk very easily.

TEDDY RUXPIN!!!

I saw the bed back in the 1970s visiting there and they had the original pillow that was still blood stained under some sort of glass or plastic encasement laying on the bed itself too. That doesn’t seem to be on the bed anymore on this video.

That’s not exactly where he was sitting. General area maybe 😂

The US provided some assistance to Russians during Crimean war against England and France in 1855. Russia sent ships to the US to avoid getting blocked by British and French navies. Also, it was a very different country than after 1917.

Sounds like they were having a good time...

Love the insight into Mag. Who knew.

I was born and raised right there in D.C. and made a few school trips there. I didn't appreciate it then but I do now.

Is a 3rd painting?..❤

How is this guy not popular?

I went there on a field trip as a child, but I was never told that it was a reconstruction, I’m a little bit shocked,

I enjoyed the park ranger, Garett's enthusiasm. He is to be commended for his attitude and stored knowledge. Thank you Garett.

Glowing wounds=maggots. April, flies would be out.

Wow! This tour guy can talk. Cant he?

What qualifications did they need to be a union surgeon. My uncle, a few generations back, was a surgeon, according to the records O saw a while back. His name was Edward Cook. He was from Hudson NY.

even that hand has had a penis in it at some point.

Been to the Peterson House. Haven't met Garret! Wow! Such passion for Peterson house and history! Dana needed to stop interrupting way too much! Felt sorry for Garrett and his story! This is Garretts business to share! Wish Garrett could of done what he wanted!

Dr. Mary Walker physically abused civilian POWs in Louisville, Ky after she was released as a POW in Richmond. This was formally investigated by General Palmer. Dr.Walker was found to be known as "the thing". She even assaulted the commander on the prison she was assigned to in Louisville. The only reason she was presented with the Medal of Honor, in 1865, was because the US government could not make her a commissioned major, as she wanted so they gave her the Medal so she would go away.

Has any DNA testing been done on the arm? You might be able to find out who it belonged to.

Mary was still getting over the death of her son, then her husband is shot I’d be going crazy to

I am proud to say this is my cousin. I have had a private tour of the Spangler farm as a direct descendant. Fascinating place.

Disappointed , saw a play there as a teenager and didn’t know it was all a recreation, I thought that the balcony was where Lincoln was actually shot

Wow! Too bad they didnt have suboxone strips back then.

💜👍🏻 👍🏻

My family member, Jacob Soles was a Union Soldier of Pennsylvania, who carried Abraham Lincoln across the street to Peterson’s house.

Good job, Matt! Lyle from Houston.

Great video. Didn't know that Will Riker decided to do KZbin in the 21st after retirement! :)

Why didn't they bring Lincoln to the hospital by ambulance. ?

I’ve been to a museum in Milford, PA that has an American flag with Lincoln’s blood on it. Right after he was shot, someone grabbed an American flag that was draped in his theatre box and rested it under his head as they lifted him and transported him out of Ford’s theatre. They ended up confirming it was his blood through DNA testing. Pretty wild.

"Blood of dark color" would be a liver impact of some sort, so I'm guessing he was hit around an upper thigh? Probably on his right side?

That's not alot of blood for nine hours of blood loss. Probably trying to figure out how to break the news

If any of you here would care see something remarkable. KZbin has a post from the 1950’s game show “I’ve Got a Secret”. One of the contestants “secret” was that he was at moment in American History. He was a small boy and he accompanied relatives to a play. “Our American Cousin”. He remembered many things that took place that night. I doubt he thought to collect as many programs as he could.

I've never been to the Petersen House; however, I've been to Ford's Theater, not to tour but to see a performance, and the balcony where Lincoln got shot is still intact, off limits, of course, it looks dark and eerie.

Very informative. Visited Ford's Theater and the Peterson House back in 2004 and say it's a must see destination for anyone interested in the Civil War Era (or American history for that matter). One thing though, at about the 12:45 mark Garrett shows a letter which he claims was written after the execution of the Lincoln conspirators. But, it's dated May, 1865. The executions weren't carried out until July. Wrong letter, perhaps?

During the civil war the Maryland flag was blue with the State Seal in the center.

This was a terrible thing that again was started by the democratic party!

Sic semper tyrannis

Take off the mask loser

It was about 1973 that we visited Lincoln's Tomb. Standing next to us in front of Lincolns Sarcophagus was a woman probably in her 40's. I still remember that the lady had tears running down her face. I remember mentioning to my wife that if we can still feel sadness over Lincolns death after all of these years have passed just imagine how his wife Mary must have felt the day of his death.

Alright I got a few questions. 1) when they moved Lincoln was he walking or did they carry him? 2) when he was dying was in a coma state? Was he aware of what happened?? If I have any more questions I'll edit.

It would be interesting to see a episode on the psychological affect of the civil war on these people who were mostly from rural communities.

Immensely enjoyed this as a lover of history and working in medical the medical field.
