You could have knocked me over with a feather when President Lincoln showed up to rally the troops. I shook his hand and thanked him for saving the Union. I sure appreciate being able to drive from Texas to DC without a passport or going through customs. He laughed and reminded me he hadn't saved the Union yet. This was Lincoln 1864, not Lincoln 1865. Lincoln 1864 was still fighting the war. I had them mixed up. You can imagine my embarassment.
