He knows so much on this subject we just did 30 minutes on one segment of the fighting but wow there sure is a lot of information. Be sure to tune in to the entire episode. Thanks Jim!

Wow presentation sword from the 2nd NY CAV to Hugh Judson Kilpatrick.

Lincoln's body es**rt. This man survives the American Civil War only to die in the largest theater fire in the United States. A tragic Tombstone tale.

From the Civil War battlefield to one of the greatest tragedies in American history…

In this episode of Tombstone Tales, we visit Waukegan to share the story of Lt. Col. William M. Reid—a Union officer who served his country, es**rted Abraham Lincoln on his final journey, and decades later perished in the tragic Iroquois Theatre Fire.

His story is one of service, survival, and unexpected loss. Help support this content. Please consider sending a gift here:
