2. THE LAST SLEEP

ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS shot on April 14,1865, died on April 15, and lay in an open coffin in the East Room of the White House on April 18. On April 19, he was moved to the Rotunda of the Capitol, and on April 21 put on a train that traveled for 1,700 miles, first on a loop through Baltimore, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and New York, then north through Albany, Utica, and Syracuse, then west through Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Chicago. Its destination was Springfield, Illinois, where three weeks later he was finally buried.
