I understand on the first dig up, the coffin was opened and onlookers gasped at what they saw. His body was almost still perfectly preserved and covered with a greenish mold. Seems Lincoln had been re embalmed several times due to the length of time from his death to the burial.

Sheesh! No wonder his ghost is said to haunt the WH! That is, if one believes in such things! No wonder the poor man can't rest!
