world. The coach was built in the milf
tary shops of Alexandria, Va, and was
known as the Presidents car. To pre-
vent the bullets of Confederates or as
,sassins passing through the mahogany
sides of the Presidents car it was iron
clad, armor plate being set beneath the
upholstered sides of the coach to make
it entirely bullet-proof. The largest Of
the compartments was used as the
Presidents study, and the sofa on
which he rested and slept was fifteen
feet long, being a reminder of the
great height of the President. 1t was
in this car that Lincoln always went
to the front, and there are many bullet
holes, indicating that the President was
in the habit of getting close to the fir
ing line.
The Union Pacific bought the car In
1866, and Sidney Dillon used it as the
President of the road, but its great
weight because of its armored sides
made it Objectionable. and for many
years it has ben isolated in the yards.
The car is forty-two feet long and eight
and one-half feet wide. There Is but
one entrance, and this opens into a mar
row passageway the whole length of
the car. There were three compart-
ments. and all were elegantly uphol-
stored and furnished with reclining
chairs. The Presidents compartment
was decorated with panels showing the
coat of arms of the various States, and
the other rooms were padded with GRIM
son corded silk. The car was mounted
on four-wheel trucks. From April 21
to May 3, 1865, this car was In use as
funeral coach for the murdered Presi-
dents remains.
