SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A retired historian will donate original notes he took about a photograph of a dead Abraham Lincoln that nobody knew existed until he discovered it.
On Tuesday, Ronald Rietveld (REET’-veld) will discuss the only known photograph of Lincoln in his open coffin when he hands over his notes to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum in Springfield. He took the notes when he was a 14-year-old in 1952.
