After the tragic assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 his body traveled for 3 weeks on a train from Washington D.C. to Springfield, Illinois. Where his remains rested undisturbed - that is until 1876, when a gang of criminals hatched a plot to try and steal the president's remains!?!

For much more information see The Great Abraham Lincoln Hijack by Bonnie Stahlman Speer. The photograph of the Lincoln Monument (circa 1877) and the photographs of the tomb robbers came from that book. Another excellent source is the 2007 publication by Thomas J. Craughwell entitled Stealing Lincoln's Body. Also, see Craughwell's article entitled "A Plot to Steal Lincoln's Body" in the July 2, 2007, edition of U.S. News and World Report (p.52-54).
