It is well-known he shut down newspapers and threatened the free press.

So we keep getting told. But details are sketchy.

NOT "sketchy".

i have been IN the underground "holding facility" (most people would call it a DUNGEON!), where the "treasonous editors & pressmen" were kept by lincoln.

there is a list of the persons "detained" available for public inspection. it is NOT a nice place!

MANY other "members of the 4th estate" were abused/tortured/starved/denied medical attention/murdered at Point Lookout (MD) DEATH CAMP. the list of those UNfortunates is also on display at PLPOWC.
