Mairdie, this is a treasure. Thank you for sharing this.
I have to tell you that my hands almost shake when I’m going thru some of these things. I’m awed by history. My great grandfather was one of the special judge advocates at the Lincoln Assassination Trial, ran the investigation for Stanton and put together the files for the Library of Congress. One of the things I have in the hall that I love is a ticket to the trial.
