The Lincoln Autopsy with Dr. Matthew Lively

Within hours after his death, Abraham Lincoln’s body was taken to the White House, where a limited autopsy was performed. The President’s brain was removed in order to obtain the fatal bullet and determine the track of the ball. However, the physicians who were present contradict each other in documenting the bullet’s final location in the brain.

This lecture will describe the autopsy and examine the differing medical recordings of the event.

Before entering private practice three years ago, Dr. Mathew Lively spent twenty years as a faculty physician at the West Virginia University School of Medicine where he conducted patient care, teaching, and research. He is the author of several articles on medical history topics and his first book, Calamity at Chancellorsville: The Wounding and Death of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, was published by Savas Beatie in 2013.

Journey down the dark backroads of the Civil War with historical novelist Ruth Webster. Enter the political world of the 1864 presidential election. Meet the Copperheads, the Knights of the Golden Circle, Clement Vallandigham, and the War and Peace Democrats—groups which are often merely glanced over in theaverage study of the war. The reality of Southern sentiment alive in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, the tri-state area called home by the author, is startling and endlessly fascinating. It was a rich repository of plot lines for fiction, giving new meaning to the phrase “truth is stranger than fiction.”

Follow three Ohio brothers, ancestral cousins of the author, as they navigate their call to duty and their legacy. All three were Ohio Democrats who chose to fight in their Republican President’s war.

Ruth Webster was born and raised in Covington, Kentucky, a town on the Ohio. The ever flowing river sparked her lifelong interest in the history and development of early America. She is a retired National Board-Certified Teacher, specializing in social studies and language arts.

Ruth is proud to honor ancestors who served on both sides of the Civil War. She is a member of the Daughters of Union Veterans, as well as the Morgan’s Men Association, which recognizes those who served in Confederate General John Hunt Morgan’s command.

Ruth has been published in various print media over many decades, and currently has four Civil War novels in print. She has been a newspaper columnist, freelanced for regional and national publications, and won various literary awards. The most recent was the 2021 award for Best Historical Fiction for “The Ramsey Legacy,” presented by The Author Zone for Indie and Small Press Publishing.

Ruth is delighted to be speaking for a second time at the Carnegie Carnegie. A docent and transcriber at the Capt. Thomas Espy Post, Ruth considers it a sacred place and her second home.

The predominantly Irish 69th New York State Militia, still in existence today, has a storied, and somewhat misunderstood, history. An antebellum organization of some notoriety, it expanded its ranks and offered its services to the United States in the early days of the rebellion, and marched off to Washington. A primarily political organization, it was led by Irish nationalist and Fenian Colonel Michael Corcoran, and its ranks also included the future leader of the famous Irish Brigade, Thomas Francis Meagher.

On July 21st, 1861, the 69th NYSM, as part of William T. Sherman’s brigade, took part in it’s only action of the Civil War at the First Battle of Bull Run. Join us as we briefly discuss the history of this regiment (which is probably not what you think it is) and follow in their footsteps on the Plains of Manassas.

Harry Smeltzer is the host of Bull Runnings (bullrunnings.wordpress.com), a website dedicated to the digitization of primary resources and original content related to the First Battle of Bull Run. He lives just outside Pittsburgh, and was born and raised here in Southwestern PA. He has earned degrees at The Pennsylvania State University and the Katz School of the University of Pittsburgh. He’s also been published in print media including in the journal Civil War History, The Civil War Monitor, Civil War Times, and America’s Civil War. He was a Contributing Writer for America’s Civil War and is a Digital History Advisor for The Civil War Monitor. He sits on the board of directors of the Save Historic Antietam Foundation. He has presented programs on Bull Run related topics to organizations in seven states and the District of Columbia, and has organized and led tours of the battlefield of First Bull Run. Groups with which he’s worked include Civil War roundtables, libraries, historical societies, universities, battlefield preservation organizations, and the United States Marine Corps. He’s been hosting Bull Runnings since November 2006.
