Does anyone know of an authentic picture of Abraham Lincoln with his famous top hat?
The first bunch are the only good ones I could find and are Courtesy of Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, LC-B8171-7929 DLC.The first shows Allan Pinkerton, President Lincoln, and General John McClernand at Antietam, October 3, 1862. The ones with the group in front of the tent is Abraham Lincoln of Antietam Battlefield, September 1862. U.S. Marshal Ward Hill Lamon, who was as tall as the President, was seated at left so as not to distract from Lincoln. Lamon acted as Lincoln’s unofficial body guard. On Thursday, April 13, 1865, Lincoln sent Lamon to Richmond, Virginia. The next night, Lincoln went to see “Our American Cousin” at Ford’s theatre. The fourth one is from http://www.genealogytoday.com/us/lincoln/enlow-4. The last two aren’t authentic but I just threw them in anyway.
