My great grandmother remembered standing on a hillside to view Lincoln’s funeral train.
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!!👍👍
He's surpassed the documentaries of PBS, has risen head & shoulders above the rest. (IMO)
Thank you so much! Part 2 will be up on Dec. 7th. I truly appreciate your very kind words.
You are far too kind. Thank you so much!
@@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.
This is absolutely professional long-form documentary quality. Outstanding work.
Might I just say I absolutely love you documentaries and your narration, your videos have the skill and flavor of a ken burns biography. I’m so happy whenever I get a notification that you have released a new upload. keep up the good work! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for the very high praise! Part 2 will be available on Dec. 7th.
Thank you for a wonderful timeline and Great presentation to Abraham Lincoln. What a wonderful President, Man he was.
Another masterwork, Matt. You give the utmost respect deserved for our most beloved leader.
Thank you so much!

Another great video from you Matt I am looking forward to seeing Part 2 whenever you plan on doing it. 🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 is all done and will be up on December 7th. Thanks so much!
It's rare to get notification that you've uploaded something new...but it's a joy every time it happens. Your videos are absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much 😀 You should be getting another notification in a week for Part 2 😊
Matt, your presentation for each video is awesome. I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate it.
Glad you like them! Thank you so much!
I’m amazed at how much I learned from your video. Well done.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic work, Matt! I cannot wait for Part 2. Your narration brought me to tears. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! Part 2 will be available on Dec. 7.
Love your channel! Hope you one day do a documentary on Josephine Baker. Not any good documentaries on her life.
Thank you so much! Josephine Baker would be a wonderful story, from what I know about her, she was truly inspiring!
Oak Ridge cemetary in Springfield. Not Georgetown.
Very very interesting!! I didn't realize so many photos existed of Lincoln's final journey!! Thank you for sharing!! ❤
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.
As Lincoln had shown up . . .
Here before this goes viral
Thank you so much!
Most underrated channel on TH-cam . Absolutely fantastic work
Awesome Thank you Matt .
What military officers were tried and convicted for leaving the President unprotected?
Greetings Matt! Once again you present us with a wonderfully written and narrated lesson of history. I eagerly await Part 2 as you yet again raise the bar for quality and excellence in your endeavors! Be well!
Wow, thanks so much for your kind words! Part 2 will be up next week!
You're more than welcome! I also just watched The McGlincy Family Murders, that one slipped by me... : ) I'm surprised I'd never heard or read about it. But what an ending!@@graveexplorations
@@graveexplorations I had to double-check as I initially thought I was watching a Ken Burns piece or some other PBS documentary.
YAY !!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS & YOUR wonderful & captivating VOICE !!!! THANX EVER~SO MATT !!!!
Thank you so much for your very kind words! So glad you enjoy my work!
RIP
My relatives and parents are from Herkimer, N.Y. Lincolns train passed by the home of General Herkimer
This is so incredibly interesting ive learned stuff that I never heard on documentaries ive saw on tv. You have the best channel ❤️
Thanks for another great story, Matt. The work that you put into making this is truly appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this! This post sounds eerily familiar - what happened to the original post? I believe that one you started with the story of how he was exhumed and described the state of his corpse, being preserved well and how he was coverd by a layer of mold. I really enjoyed that intro in the old post. Thanks again!
I was to Lincoln'sgrave back in 1995. Beatiuful and very impressive. Great vlog and very informative.
Absolutely fantastic work. I teared up. Extremely well done my friend. Please keep making these.
Thanks, will do!
Lincoln is the American GOAT.
He has always been a hero of mine. Thank you!
Mine too.
He was a tyrant who needed another term like he needed a hole in the head.
If orange man did any of what he did, he would have been physically removed from office. (Suspension of habeus corpus, and preventing an entire state from voting, AND suppressing newspapers and shutting down any that disagreed with him. Eff him. )
Seems my comment went poof.
So just sing the cell block tango.
@@billbombshiggy9254no he wasn’t. The drunk dumbass Franklin Pierce and the stubborn traitor James Buchanan have both stubbornly refused to keep the nation together, compromise with the abolitionists or get along with Congress. Buchanan started a whole blasted war because of him being a fucking traitor to the union by supporting the south.
13:27 I statted him out and play him in DnD. Hes a very DANDY bard.
Very DANDY.
Knawmean?
He also lost a leg and now has a peg leg. His best spell is divine strike. I think we are like level 12 or somewhere. Havent played in a while.
3:01 thats not true at all! SHE didn't want to go because she got a headache, and was struck with a bad feeling. He convinced her that he HAD to go because the papers had already announced he would be there, but he would rather stay home.
I know Mary was a bit of a bish, but c'mon man. That wasnt true.
Great work Matt!!
Enjoy them all!!
Glad you like them! Thanks so much!
Excellent as always Matt, thank you so much. Looking forward to part 2 😊❤🇦🇺
reupload? because it seems you cut off the beginning part of the boy witnessing the opening of the coffin
Another great one Matt You ever fail to amaze me. You now have me waiting for part 2. Where did you find all those old photos??
Thanks again! So glad you enjoyed it!
You do a really nice documentary on LIncoln my Dad has his book, I started reading about LIncoln. He was a prophet of his own, I love your voice it draws you in, thank you so much.
Awesome job. The only problem I see is that his stepmother's name was Sarah.
You give me the "feels" with every masterful video. I'm only catching this 2 weeks late since I've been traveling and catching up but so surprised so few people have seen this yet. Your video's should be on the front page of youtube!
I wanna know what film you used to get the footage of lincoln's murder in fords theater. It sure looks like an interesting film. Same with the footage of the ghosts haunting ms. Lincoln in the Lincoln's Tomb video
Thank you! Superbly done!
I’m not sure if most people know about this or not, but Abraham Lincoln has no living relatives today. His family line is completely extinct. how ironic. Not only does Abraham Lincoln belong to the ages but apparently his family name does too.
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.
Wow. I can't wait for part 2! In one of your other videos, you were at a cemetery, and you talked about a man that had President Lincoln as a lawyer when he first started to practice law. Do you happen to remember which video that was, and was Lincoln buried in that same cemetery? Sorry to put you on the spot, was just wondering. Thank you so much for all the hard work. I always learn something new.
Thanks so much, part 2 will be available on Dec. 7. I believe the video you referenced is on Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois.
This was an interesting and very well done documentary. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful as always, Matt
Thank you so much!
Great story and exceptionally told...Thank you
I am impressed that the recreated assassination was footage from the 1971 TV Special "They've Killed President Lincoln" actually filmed in the restored Ford's Theater around that time. Excellent documentary. Thank you for posting.
This is perfect! Then only thing is the AI voice. As it’s a standard one that’s used by many and despite technology, sounds robotic.
But, it’s perfect! So don’t listen to me.
I can't believe I just stumbled upon your channel today. Awesome work! You earned a new subscriber.
May I request a DVD of this program as well? I would be more than happy to pay a fee for it.
Thanks!
Excellent, thank you sir.
So nice of you, thanks so much!
TYVM, for this emotional professionally created true masterpiece!!!
Another great one! You are very good at these documentaries!
I found your channel today and subscribed to it today 👍
Thank you! Your vids make my day. I BLASTED TH-cam for what they did to your original video. Feckin hypocrites!
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for your support and very kind words!
What happened? I was wondering about this.
@@bringbackbeatles TH-cam decided that the video was "inappropriate" and was in violation of their "rules". Violence. Disturbing. The new snowflake 🐂💩. So they blocked it. Grave Explorations had to redo the vid and broke it into 2, actually adding some content and "softening" them so the pussyfied TH-cam AI police would allow it.
Excellent presentation.
Errie...good thing he accepted Christ, shortly before he died.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Yes ❤
Well done.
Love this and your voice!
He did not want to go she made Him it mite of been wilks that pulled the Trigger But It was Her that had Her Hand in Killing Lincon . Never Trust a woman .
👍
The president that made slaves equal... To corporations.
If Mary Lincoln didn't go to the show, this wouldn't happens, President Lincoln would be still alive back than, wondering if Mary Todd knew this or she is part of the conspiracy
Thank you for taking the time to research and produce videos about President Lincoln ♥
Lincoln was a great man,gone to soon but never forgotten.
'PromoSM' 💥
Seems like a lot of the usual cliches and questionable historical sentimental clap trap to me. All to the tune of some drippy piano solo.
Comment seems a lot like the usual cynical trolling claptrap of a troll who only watched the first 3 seconds of the video.
Congratulations @ddee1890, for making one of the most asinine comments on TH-cam this year!
You’re really going to love Part 2 😄
And yet HERE YOU ARE watching it - the hypocrisy.
