The day Lincoln died, his autopsy was held at noon in the White House in what is now the President's Dining Room (also called the Prince of Wales Room). Historian Anthony Pitch describes in great detail Lincoln's physical state and the anatomical damage discovered by the doctors performing the autopsy.
Historian Anthony Pitch is the author of the forthcoming book "They Have Killed Papa Dead!": The Road to Ford's Theatre, Abraham Lincoln's Murder, and the Rage for Vengeance.
