A park guide in Springfield Illinois informed my group that A. Lincoln’s body was exhumed 17 times due to concerns over security and his monument.
There was something said as well about the skull coming apart from the rest of the skeleton, and mention of at least one serious attempt to steal the remains of our 16th president.
Bringing us back to the question many may not dare to pose: How do we really know that is the general himself buried in Grant’s tomb?
No one is buried in Grant's tomb.
