Conocidos como el billete del asesinato de Lincon.

Espero que os gustes

Este circuló un poco. Curiosa pieza. Podrías explicar porque se le conoce como el del asesinato de lincoln ??

A mi no me mires.....yo solo pasaba por aqui

Se le conoce de esta manera, porque entre los objetos personales que se encontraron en los bolsillos de Lincon figuraba uno de estos billetes

Citación :: When Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. on April 14, 1865, he was carrying two pairs of spectacles and a lens polisher, a pocketknife, a watch fob, a linen handkerchief, and a brown leather wallet containing a five-dollar Confederate note and nine newspaper clippings, including several favorable to the president and his policies. Given to his son Robert Todd upon Lincoln's death, these everyday items, which through association with tragedy had become like relics, were kept in the Lincoln family for more than seventy years. They came to the Library in 1937 as part of the gift from Lincoln's granddaughter, Mary Lincoln Isham,.
