Couldn't you be more helpful? How about some copy and paste?

You can see the pages on the right side. Just click on the first page from the biggest area of pages. I can't cut and paste. It's hand written. It's photocopied for the archives in beautiful 1865 handwriting.

Says there on the left side of the page "Report of Dr. Charles Leale on assassination" It was easy to find, and I don't think it would copy/paste.

The documents in all their splendor are RIGHT THERE on the page.

Dr. Leale was only 23 years old an army surgeon just 6 weeks into his career.

"Leale wrote a report for an 1867 congressional committee investigating the assassination that referenced the earlier account, but no one had ever seen it, said Stowell, whose group's goal is to find every document written by or to Abraham Lincoln during his lifetime.

At least four researchers have been painstakingly scouring boxes of documents at the National Archives for more than six years. They methodically pull boxes of paper — there are millions of documents packed away and never catalogued, Stowell said — and look for "Lincoln docs," as Papaioannou called them.

She was assigned the surgeon general's documents and was leafing through letters pitching inventions for better ambulances and advice about feeding soldiers onions to ward off disease when she hit Leale's report."

How do I move from page to page?

If you click on the page on your screen, it gets larger, click again and it goes back to its original size. At least that's how it worked for me...

What an amazing historical document. Just wow.

I know someone who died from a gunshot wound to the head. While I have always known that he almost immediately lost consciousness I have also wondered what his last moments were like. Very similiar to Mr. Lincoln's I suspect though he did not linger for hours.

And you're so right, descriptive and intense. This belongs at the top of The Greatest Page, an intimate glimpse into one of our most important and enduring historical events...

Thank you for posting this. I heard about this report last night on the news, but didn't know it had been posted on web and available to read. It was amazingly detailed and that handwriting - wow.

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed reading it.

I knew the Mayans were right about the end of the world coming when I saw an ad for the movie "Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter".

getting past the basic concept.

Is there a mirror site anywhere? I would like to read it.

To see the writing and actual page (albeit on computer screen) instantly placed me in the heart and mind of the writer.

a very lucid account, simple and direct...later as it neared the end you can see the hand begin to tire or become unsteady as an occasional smear appears in the fresh ink...obviously an emotional task...

the wonders of real history and first hand accounts...
