I visited around the same time, 1967, and remember it looking different. Wooden steps and the smell of age. I remember the room being smaller and darker and the bloody pillow.
We took the Petersen house tour in February, and he was the National Park ranger. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. What an awesome experience!
In response to increased intracranial pressure the pulse goes down and the blood pressure up. Evacuating the clot allowed the intracranial pressure to go down and hence, the pulse go up.
The chair Lincoln was shot in is at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. I wish they would bring both pieces back to their original respective locations.
I interviewed most of the physicians who worked on Kennedy in Dallas back in 1992. That was a fascinating exercise to hear the various perceptions of each doctor. I so wish I could do the same with the Lincoln physicians. For what the state of medicine was at the time, and what he had to work with, Dr. Leale did an amazing job heading up the treatment of Lincoln. The gentleman giving the presentation does a fabulous job. I'm very, very familiar with Lincoln's treatment and this gentlemen's enthusiasm made it seem like new material. A great resource for the DC historical community.
They did not know about microbes. No hand washing, gloves etc. When Garfield was assassinated in 1881 (Robert Lincoln was nearby), infections ended up killing him.
This is excellent. The young ranger knows his facts. Every video I've seen about the house reveals more things not seen in others. I suggest watching all of them if you are a history buff like me. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is absolutely phenomenal and a treasure. I saw this when I was 15 years old on a school trip from Portland Oregon. Thank you for doing this great job.
A awesome history video, through a general step by step procedure they did and the names,faces of the Drs seeing to Lincoln.. getting to see the room was nice 🙂.. thank u for sharin.. from South Carolina
If anyone is wondering the average pulse should be between 60 and 90 (up to 100 in some instances) Of course age, health and other factors are taken into consideration.
Very informative. Visited Ford's Theater and the Peterson House back in 2004 and say it's a must see destination for anyone interested in the Civil War Era (or American history for that matter). One thing though, at about the 12:45 mark Garrett shows a letter which he claims was written after the execution of the Lincoln conspirators. But, it's dated May, 1865. The executions weren't carried out until July. Wrong letter, perhaps?
It was about 1973 that we visited Lincoln's Tomb. Standing next to us in front of Lincolns Sarcophagus was a woman probably in her 40's. I still remember that the lady had tears running down her face. I remember mentioning to my wife that if we can still feel sadness over Lincolns death after all of these years have passed just imagine how his wife Mary must have felt the day of his death.
When clot and tissue removed, Lincoln’s heart rate increased. Is it possible the clot and debris were pressing on brain stem? With their removal pressure was decreased which allowed increase heart rate. I don’t know exactly how the bullet travelled, but could be a possibility?!
I am sure that many here know that Ford's Theater was torn down after Lincoln's death. It was rebuilt but the only thing original there is the location and the framed portrait on the balony of the box.
WHAT? What did I hear at 11:45-11:49- A BROTHER/BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN SURGEON... in the 1860s...? No reason in these days black men cannot make moves for better.
Interesting fact about Major Rathebone. He declined mentally after the assassination and ultimately went mad and killed his wife Clara in 1883 and was put in an insane asylum. Another fact. Clara and Henry were actually step siblings. Yewww.
In terms of American history, you are right. Imagine if Lincoln had lived and finished his term, what a better deal for this country. I thought of another shot that was the worst for world history: the 1914 assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. It was the spark that ignited World War I. Warmongers that opened the door for Hitler.
@@steveshapiro326 Good point. But in our history, I have always thought it was wrong of Johnson, to give the Southerns their citizenship back. There were enough around who fought for the Federal Government. I am really surprised as I look into it.
Thanks for this interesting video. If you have the chance, please change the spelling in the title from "Doctor's" (with apostrophe) to "Doctors" without apostrophe.
Says a lot that brosky was just 23 and an army surgeon. Seems as though it didn't take much to be a doctor back then. Can you chop a log? Okay you can remove legs. Youre hired. XD Gotta do minimum 10-12 years for this now.
This brings back sad memories for those of us who were teenagers when JFK died. Since this narrator spoke of brain matter coming out of the bullet hole, I doubt if Lincoln would have survived even today.
Very well told! The young man is definitely the right one to tell the story. He is enthusiastic and likes history. Thank you!
Garrett is a class act and speaks with tremendous knowledge
He was so enthusiastic As if he's telling the story for the first time, that was great😊
So glad Garrett is back! He’s a great storyteller I could listen to him for hours!
Visited this in 1967 and that room still had what looked like original wallpaper and a plexiglass container with a bloody pillow. Ill never forget it.
I remember the exactly same thing!!!
We toured that house in 1985. A profound, eerie experience.

I remember pillow under case on bed,8th grade DC trip.
Doesn't look like pillow is there anymore,blood so old it looked black,ill nvr forget either

1:00 The actual bed is on display at The Chicago History Museum

@@steveshapiro326 Lincoln, perhaps fortunately, did not live long enough to contract an infection or become septic.
@steveshapiro326
Robert Lincoln is always nearby.
We met Garrett on a tour of the Peterson house. He was very informative and impressive in telling the story. Great job sir.
This is excellent. The young ranger knows his facts. Every video I've seen about the house reveals more things not seen in others. I suggest watching all of them if you are a history buff like me. Thanks so much for sharing.
I bet Garrett has never failed a history exam in his life… he’s great. Love the wealth of personal knowledge given… Lincoln has always fascinated me…
I have that engraving shown, above President Lincoln, when he was lying in the bed. So cool!!!
Dr Leale is buried in Oakland Cemetery in Yonkers NY

Well done !
That porcelain ball probe was used after President Garfield was shot.
Garett is very good at story telling. Very well spoken and knowledgeable.
He was a very good, well informed guide.
That ranger seems very passionate about his job, he is very informative a d seems to know what hes talking about. Hed be a good history teacher.

Garrett is such a great storytelling park ranger
Thank you for keeping the past alive! Very well done -if I were to believe in reincarnation. I would say this kid lived before -during the civil war
❤️ RIP Mr. President.

What worse he was killed sitting right next to him.

Extremely informative! Thank you!

I loved this video so much! I hope one day I will be lucky enough to visit all those historical places.
Very well done. Thank you.
WHAT?
What did I hear at 11:45-11:49- A BROTHER/BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN SURGEON... in the 1860s...?
No reason in these days black men cannot make moves for better.
Yeah, but we owe them money for all of those things none of us, did to none of them. 💩
Love stuff like this
Garrett is a great interpreter! The NPS should be proud of him.
Garrett is really good at telling this story! Suck knowleadge and enthusiasm!
Does Garret have a channel too? Can he come back? Love him and his energy so much. Also he cute 😅
Another fantastic and informative video. Very interesting to hear what actually happened to Lincoln and where
He’s real good at his job 🧡💚💛🩷💙🩷💜❤️🙂😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this. What a great job!
Thank you for this! Nice job all the way around from both of you.

@Sharpbevel
They weren’t biologically related and met at 11 & 14, and married at 27 & 30.
Incredibly informative information. Well done.
Thank you for this interesting talk. I am definitely visiting ford’s theater!
I bet Dan Sickles' leg was at that first museum
Can you two start a TV show? You make a great team!
This video is so informative. Thank you for it. 😊
I wonder if Charles Sabin taft is any relation to William Howard Taft?
The worst shot ever fired.

An excellent presentation! They couldn't preserve his life, but they prolonged his death. Bad trade.

Touché! Good catch! 💯
Says a lot that brosky was just 23 and an army surgeon. Seems as though it didn't take much to be a doctor back then. Can you chop a log? Okay you can remove legs. Youre hired. XD
Gotta do minimum 10-12 years for this now.
I have been to the Peterson house. It’s very sad
I wonder if Lincoln could've survived today. If he had been in a trauma center with all the latest technology.
This brings back sad memories for those of us who were teenagers when JFK died. Since this narrator spoke of brain matter coming out of the bullet hole, I doubt if Lincoln would have survived even today.
You do know they make decaf don't you?
Hunter hooked Garret up with some of his best stuff.
@@AxtionMag I could tell
Defund the Federal agencies now and just a reminder the local law can trample you rights and life just as easy. Just ask Chile'
THERE WAS NO CHANCE TO SAVE HIM. NO MATER WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE AND HE DID
How sad not to bd able to read cursive.
Simple grammer point. You want doctors who, not doctor's who. Plural verses possessive.
Very unimpressive. Nothing like the serious NPS personnel who guided this tour in the 70s and 80s. Sad reflection on our civil servants.
