Our Lost Causers love to cackle & crow over Lincoln's incognito 1861 sneak through Baltimore into Washington, DC, in which it was sometimes alleged Lincoln travelled dressed as a woman.
They're not nearly as sanguine about Jefferson Davis' capture while fleeing from Richmond.
Fake news, 1860s style.
Lincoln dressed in night-shirt sneaking through Baltimore, 1861.
Jefferson Davis disguised escaping from Richmond, VA, 1865.

I have read about the Lincoln rumour, but never mentioned it. However, I have noticed that the progressives love to cackle & crow about the Davis rumour.
