Obscure American history trivia

I read that book. Very enjoyable. They also visited their daughter in NYC, I believe.

 

Saw the Kennedy limo at The Henry Ford, which also has what it claims is the chair in which Lincoln was assasinated.

 

The Ford Museum is an incredible place. One of my favorite exhibits was near the Lincoln chair when I was there: a glass vial containing, purportedly, Thomas Edison's last breath. I could just imagine someone hovering over the dying Edison with the test tube, frustrated repeatedly when Edison sucked in another halting gasp of air. "Is that it? No, that's it. No..."

 

It was Henry Ford himself who captured Edison's last breath, as good friends do.
