Wonderful photos of the oval office from 2006 to 1903. Bob Hope even putting (golf) in one.

Becky, thanks for posting this link. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the photos of the oval offices. I would love to visit the presidential libraries to check out the replicas.

<br /> Ahh, so it went nowhere. Well, it really did look like Carpenter killed him but I think they were just about a millimeter shy of being able to feel confident about getting a conviction. I can't even remember now what the facts of the case were. I just remember the feeling that it was probably extremely likely that he was the perpetrator. Thanks! Smiley Happy

You're very welcome! I know it was a tragedy but these things do fascinate me.

"killing Lincoln" had inaccuracies. For example, there was no Oval Office when Lincoln was President.

Like 10 of them.

A reviewer, Edward Steers Jr. who himself wrote 5 books on Lincoln, said this:

“If all of the above sounds like nitpicking, consider this. If the authors made mistakes in names, places, and events, what else did they get wrong? How can the reader rely on anything that appears in ‘Killing Lincoln’?”

What would you expect Salon.com to say? {#emotions_dlg.lol}

The reviewer - Edward Steers Jr - wrote his review for a Civil War publication.

At least everyone is sticking to the same subject matter (war).
