[@daveh9521]

Great tour! For anyone in the northern NJ-PA area, interested in everything Lincoln, a visit to the little Columns Museum in Milford, PA is a must. Prominent in their collection is a large American Flag stained with Lincoln's blood. For many years, historians passed this off as a "hoax" until the 1990's, when a closer study of provenance established it as authentic. The story goes that one of the flags adorning Lincoln's balcony box in Ford's Theater, was grabbed, rolled up and placed under his head to comfort him until he could be moved across the street. The man who kept the flag was from PA, and a member of Lincoln's Cabinet. This flag has been cited as the most valuable American flag next to the "Star Spangled Banner".

As a (former-ish) paramedic (now on disability), I could spend all day in that place! Seeing Lincoln's blood on the doctor's cuff sleeves was particularly poignant. It reminded me of one time, after years on the job when my mental health had started to deteriorate, when I came home from a shift having failed to save an injured woman and I didn't want to wash her blood off my uniform shirt because I felt I'd be sending the last remaining part of her down the drain.

Also on display is Lincoln's duster jacket that was draped over the chair he was sitting in at the time he was shot. The left side of the jacket was mostly missing because after he was shot, it was that side of the jacket that got the most blood. Souvenir hunters at the time would cut squares of his jacket that had the blood on it leaving about 2/3rds of the jacket. left...morbid.

[@leonardodalongisland]

Nice job. Did you know, the conical bullet unintentionally became the most significant advancement in the study of the human brain? Unlike its predecessor that ripped through and tore up brain matter, the-straight-line conical bullet sailed smoothly through the brains, affecting/halting activity in a single location-and killing less often. The result; doctors could observe the lost (and sometimes, altered) abilities of the post-shot- victims making it possible to figure out/determine what particular parts of the brain actually did.

[@fuyu5979]

The Walter Reed Army Medical Museum was the predecessor to the museum of today. As a military policeman, we spent a fair amount of time at the museum looking at (mostly) Civil War artifacts and of course artifacts from Lincoln's assassination. The first doctor to probe Lincoln's head wound, used only his finger both to probe it and break the clot to relieve pressure. Back then, the bullet and J. W. Boothe's deringer were on display as well as Lincoln's death mask. There was also a section of President Garfield's backbone with a probe/rod throught the bullet's path.

That place is awesome, and the have the Bockscar on display there, the Nagasaki bomber. It is completely free, with the exception of additional experiences that we skipped out on.

[@tnbackroads]

I’ve dug thousands of civil war bullets over the years. Minie balls are made of soft lead and expand rapidly upon impact. When they hit something solid like a bone, they can expand from .58 caliber to over an inch in diameter. The velocity that the bullets flew was relatively slow so anything it hit, it shattered....not clean entrance and exits. This is why they amputated so much...shattering of the bones. The minie ball revolutionized rifles...they went from being accurate out to 50-80 yards with round balls to being able to hit a human sized object out to 300. The tactics were still behind...line up in columns and shoot walls of lead at one another at 80-100 yards. With the new bullets and rifled muskets this wasn’t necessary and extremely costly.

[@vikingshelm]

I'm a nurse, but if I saw half of these injuries back in those days I don't know that I would have been a nurse for long. Granted, I avoided ER for a reason.. I did still work on a floor that specialized in cardiac and trauma, which sometimes produced nasty wounds but not too often.

The Museum of Health and Medicine also contains some skeletal remains of John Wilkes Booth, pieces of his vertebrae. I don’t believe they have put it on display, but interesting that Lincoln and Booth both have remains there.

Doug Longstaff - Oh dang. I didn’t know that. Interesting.

Bloodstains on the cuffs, hair and bone fragments, you could clone him!

Thomas Mullaney - You know what? I didn’t mention it, but I had that exact same thought. Got some more crazy Lincoln stuff in Episode 25 on Ford’s Theatre. Thanks for watching!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@Hidden_Destinations]

Very interesting thank you for taking the time to show us this. Suggestion. No need to say this is terrifying, oh gosh, and those sorts of reactions. This is medical science, not a horror film.

Museum was originally located on the Mall near Smithsonian Castle. I think it held General Sickles leg that was blown off.

[@dianeruiz0721]
