    Very much enjoyed this second version of your original video and look forward to part 2. This is so well done it is equal to anything shown on PBS and they should be in negotiations with you to show it there. As I said before this is an award worthy documentary. Big thumbs up!!👍👍

      @@graveexplorations Thank you, Matt. Although I saw the original documentary you did of this, I very much look forward to part 2. Not only because you tell this fascinating story so well, but I share the same last name as the young boy who was the last person to see Lincoln's body. Not closely related as far as I know, however.

    Future and former U.S. presidents, supporters and detractors in life, came out to see Lincoln cross their path on a first or one last time…
    This in an age before telephones (on walls, tables, in pockets), Siri and GPS travel directions, airplane reservations, automobiles (automatic transmissions, power steering, disc brakes, 8-track decks, OnStar and self-driving), computers (desktops, laptops and atop wrists), and travel deep into space and deep in water…
    People showed up.

    • @Mattipedersen
      @Mattipedersen 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Of course, you're referring the fact that his last direct descendant, Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith died in 1985. Lincoln's son Robert Todd Lincoln may have only had one son, who died young, but the video didn't really mention that he also had two daughters. This last living relative was the son of Robert Todd Lincoln's second daughter Jesse Harlan Lincoln. He also had a sister who passed 10 years prior to his own passing. Fortunately, there are other relatives, in the Lincoln family to carry on the name, even if they are not direct descendants.
