So wild to see that chair and his "body fluids" still so visible 157 years later. 😳
It's not his body fluids. It's hair product (pomade) from workers who sat in the chair during their breaks in the 50s when it was stored in a warehouse
The stains on the seat are water damage.
@@ganymededarlingEven though the stain on the top of the chair is likely oil or pomade, there absolutely has to be blood from Lincoln somewhere on that chair. There is confirmed blood on it, but they're unable to confirm it's Lincoln's. But given the fact he was shot IN the chair by a bullet, I guarantee his blood is somewhere in there.
The richness of your work only becomes more palpable with each video. Your thoughtful comments speak to your appreciation of these historical items. I know you will continue to aim high and be an instrument of service. At the end of the day, all that matters is to be of service to those around you and offer to the world what you want the world to offer to you. Thank you again for bringing such great work to the world.
Wonderful, and moving video, Chris. I appreciate the shorter episodes where there are a great many "features", for it's easier to focus and take in the significance of the piece. Thanks for your ongoing work and enlightenment.
My father was born in Detroit in 1920 . This chair had been there in Greenfield Village since he was a boy . Then, it was not encased and you could actually touch it .People started collecting ”souvenirs”of the threads from the arms . That is why the arms are so threadbare . By 1962 , the first time I saw it it was displayed in a large glass cube . I like the new display . I always thought that once the FordTheater in Washington was restored in the 1970’s that it should have been returned to it’s historic place in the Presidential Box . My parents were President Lincoln “enthusiasts” and took us to the site of every home occupied by the President from his birthplace in Kentucky to his tomb in Illinois .
Cool your in my state, I'm just north of there. That's a cool place
The chair not being at fords theater is a disgrace
This sure is an amazing museum. Thank you for sharing this with us.
The world would be different if it weren't for that day.
Should get his DNA off it and bring back a good president...
Lincoln rockers were parlor rockers mass produced in the 1850's. Extremely comfortable. Many of these chairs were set in theatres and opera houses all over America way before Lincoln was sitting in one the night of his murder. They became so popular after the assassination that they were produced in the 1,000's as replicas in memorial.
My family owns one that came from an Opera House in Poughkeepsie, NY. These rockers are very comfortable. Had excellent back support; you could sit in one for hours on end. It still survives to this day. New upholstery recovered with fabric of the era and some wood framing.
replaced. However, it's still in use every day.
I’ve been to the theater and the house he was taken to across the street and they had the bed he was in when he died and I think this chair was there at the time. Such a crazy thing to see and think about. I didn’t expect everything to be in such good condition. I used to live 5 min from the barn John Wilkes Booth would’ve went to as well and seen some of the buildings that are still standing
I shipped the opera glasses Lincoln was holding when he was shot.
The buyer is a collector in Illinois
Great stuff. I have always loved history.
I have a feeling there were a lot of Democrats in congress who conspired in this, perhaps a few Republicans too. I’m also greatly surprised that this chair wasn’t lost to time, and all the different owners who would of cared for it, and taking care of it and not destroying it, or cut into smaller pieces to be sold off.
If im remembering right from your video. The bodyguard was next door drinking. Possibly with booth?
There's actually no visible blood on that chair. Those stains are from years of dirt, others things and hair pomade.
I’m sure Abraham Lincolns hair strand is somewhere on that chair
Your videos, Chris, are sometimes incredible and always terrific. This video of President Lincolns' chair gives me chills up my spine.
That is incredible. Thanks so much. I often wonder what would be the result in history if certain things did or didn't happen.
The interesting thing is the chair is entirely worn thread bare. Was the chair in this condition when he was sitting in it? Did exposure just make the chair fabric disappear? I realize this chair is over 160 years old, but what caused it to wear so thin?
When I was 5yrs old my kindergarten class went on a field trip to Greenfield Village. I stood by the chair gazing upon it ever so carefully. Something came over me I suddenly began to feel very emotional. My teacher told me to come on. I wouldn't move a step I didn't want to move away from the chair. The teacher asked over & over to come along but, I wouldn't move at all. Finally she had to grab my hand to force me leave away from the chair. 5 years later my mom's sister came to live with us. Shortly after coming she passed away. I my mom's brother came from Alabama to attend the funeral. My mom told my brothers & I to come & meet our uncle. We were too shy to come & meet him so I took peep out the door to look at him. As soon as I saw him I started laughing real hard. My brothers asked me why was I laughing & did our uncle look strange. I said he looks just like Abraham Lincoln. So when I was in my 20's I had to have surgery.The doctor & the intern told me that after they give me a shot that I would be sleep for an hour. In the corner of the operating room I saw Tad Lincoln he stood there for about 3 minutes & disappeared. The doctor left the operating room but the intern stayed I told him that I saw Tad Lincoln standing in the corner. After the surgery the intern asked did I remember telling him that I saw Tad Lincoln I answered yes. My mom was standing next to her mother when her mother was shot in the neck she ran to the back of the house to the back porch & her head came off. This happened before I was born. I saw pictures of my grandmother Sallie, she was pretty she looked just like a female Tad Lincoln. 3 yrs ago right before my mom died she told me was related to Abraham Lincoln. I have always loved looking at Tad Lincoln's photos.
I love going on these journeys with you Chris! Thank you for sharing your travels!!
Do some video clips of flint mi and show how bad it is
Ridiculous
There are a number of YT videos showing Flint and the "bad" (as you put it) parts-we don't need another IMO.
You look so tired, Chris. Please get some rest 😕😟🙁
Thanks for video
I don't know what those stains on the chair are, but I doubt they're blood. I've read in more than once place that the wound bled very little.
My home State and all it has to offer. Kudos Chris for another great video!
I think those are blood stains.
Yes they are
No it's hair products and some water damage the museum tested the stains
i live right near their
Great video Lincoln and Kennedy were both great President
great work chris
Thanks for sharing
Amazing.
Museum is amazing,alot of history Thanks , have a bless one
I have seen the previous video where you showed the chair but this video is DIFFERENT. Just saying.
Thank you for taking us with you; very much appreciated!!………🌝
I hope that, if one day the humanity will disappear, this channel will somehow still be available for the future populations
Various websites say that is hair oil or similar...no blood or body fluids on it. Some areas are water stains.
Chris so grateful to you for showing us these short videos of history we need to remember. I have visited America twice but only New York and New Jersey lots of interesting stuff there. But you are highlighting history I wouldn’t get to. 👊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
If your still in the area, check out the Denton Bridge and soop cemetery, tons of interesting places downtown Detroit. Haven hill, river raisin battle field and 7 gables road all worth mentioning
Wow that's amazing thank you Sean us that Cher 👍👍
I really enjoy your videos, this one included. I must mention though that you would think a chair that was in the President's Box at the theater wouldn't look like it came from Good Will.
Thank you, Chris. I love your videos. That chair and President Lincoln represents so much to our history.
Great job showcasing this incredible piece of history!
Thank you for sharing!
Wanted to point out that when you go in the otherside at the end of the video that is the very direction that booth came from and shot him. So that was his view of the chair.
Still has blood stain marks on chair
Definitely most of the stains were blood.
I knew I've seen that chair before. Politics. Not for sissies. RIP Mr. President.
dang
Washington's trophy
Looks pretty worn
Are the stains on the chair Lincoln's blood stains?
Yes
😢
John Wilkes Booth was a noted actor fyi.
How do we know it's genuine?
We don't. The story of Lincoln isn't genuine so I wouldn't doubt this chair being at multiple places all saying it's his chair. I've seen 3 different versions of the car Bonnie and Clyde were shot in. I still love this channel though I just don't like how history is twisted so often from the truth.
BANG!!! Glory to Ukraine🇺🇸🇺🇦❤🤍💙💛
Super great little vid!
Interesting video
Great content!
