The Contents of Lincoln's Pockets on His Last Earthly Night

Can be seen now online via the American Memory section of the Library of Congress which has photographs of what Lincoln was carrying his last, infamous night at the theater. Featuring the The Alfred Whital Stern Collection of Lincolniana. Are you more interested in Christopher Columbus's diary from 1493? The World Digital Library has the Columbus Manuscript scanned for your viewing here.

Check out more old stuff in the WSJ article by Alexandra Alter, "Next Age of Discovery."
