matthew brady went inside ford's theater into the number of photographs. people took photographs of the stable where booth kept his horses. they photographed other places associated with the assassination, but for some reason photographers did not set up their cameras in front of the peterson house and take photos after lincoln died. it's a bit of a historical mystery. i'd look for decades to find photographs taken of the peterson house shortly after lincoln died, but haven't found any and no when know of has found any. just one of the lingering mysteries of the assassination. private william clark came back the next day, the soldier who lived in this room. it was out all night celebrating the union did. that night, he slept in the very bed in which abraham lincoln died. he wrote a letter to relative saying i'm sleeping in the bed where the president died, the same coverlet that covered his body, now covers me. strangers, and offer money to come and view the room. if you don't watch them, they try to steal things. they try to steal little bits of cloth, th
