President Lincoln's Funeral March, 1865
E. Mack
The dignified march to honor the fallen president left no doubt that this was a moment in America's history when the need for reflection was as great as the war itself. Attendees at President Abraham Lincoln's funeral recalled that it was a simple one, with no pomp in the surrounding. Nearly a century later, President John F. Kennedy's funeral was based on Lincoln's. |
