The Embalming of Abraham Lincoln
For those interested, if you visit the Museum's website, follow the path to "Historical Resources" from our homepage. You'll have the opportunity to view and/or print out several pertinent brochures that might be of interest to the CW community: "Lincoln's Embalming", "Lincoln's Tomb", "Mourning Clothing", and "Mourning Jewelry". If you click on the link to the left (on the "Historical Resources" screen), you'll be able to view several photos of our field embalming demonstration, equipment, etc., launched in 2007.I remain, as ever, your obedient servant,
