  1. “She won’t think anything about it”. President Abraham Lincoln last words. The last words he hears was from Actor Harry Hawk before Booth assassinates him, “Well I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal, you SOCKDOLOGIZING old man-trap!” Maybe the most interesting/memorable word from the Civil War era.

  2. “Now he belongs to the ages.” Edwin Stanton at Lincoln’s side when he died

  3. “C’mon, it’s just a handful of mounted infantry under some Yank named Wilder.”
