Thanks for posting this! What a reminder that our country is incredibly young.

I visited Ford’s Theater and saw a couple of plays there, on different occasions. Lincoln’s balcony was cordoned off and had a banner affixed to it. There was a small museum of Lincoln memorabilia on the premises. Ford’s Theater lay vacant for many years and was only restored to its original use in the late 1960s.

Whoa! Thanks for the ping to this one. Amazing life span.

He was in his his teens when Little Big Horn happened and nearly 20 when the light bulb was invented. He was in his 40’s when the Wright Brothers flew. Of grandfatherly age (mid 50’s) during WWI. The year after his death, the Soviets launched Sputnik into orbit.

Remarkable to consider that a man’s life could span all of those events.
