Read this section from *Chasing Lincoln's Killer* by James L. Swanson: "On the night of April 11, a torchlight parade of a few thousand people, with bands and banners,
assembled on the semi-circular driveway in front of the Executive Mansion. This time Lincoln
delivered a long speech, without gloating over the Union victory. He intended to prepare the
people for the long task of rebuilding the South. When someone in the crowd shouted that he
couldn't see, the President Lincoln's son, Tad, volunteered to illuminate his father. When Lincoln
dropped each page of his speech to the floor it was Tad who scooped them up."
