Yes I heard about it the other Day,
But I have my Reservations on this one.

IF real the pic looks to me like it was Retouched.

I didn't read the story, But I'm curious why he is a different Color then Everything else
in the pic.

Yup, saw it. Have issues with it.

In the larger version of the picture the people in the foreground are ambling around. If Mr. Lincoln was coming you'd think word would rush through the crowd and they'd all be looking in that direction. Everyone, not just those closest to the path.

When the queen goes by in her carriage everyone is straining to get a glimpse. When the president stops somewhere for a meet and greet people are craning their necks to get a glimpse.

Not to mention the fact that those hats were popular back in the day.

And one of the Pinkerton Secret Service men looked A LOT like Mr. Lincoln.

From this photo...can't tell much of anything.

Yeah. Photo looks a little questionable. It would be great if it were real though.
