This children’s book tells the story of the Lincoln funeral train, from the point of view of a young boy and his father who ride out in the middle of the night to join thousands of others as they gathered by the tracks to pay their final respects. There are two pages of historical notes about the funeral train, which traveled 1600 miles over 13 days and made stops in 12 cities. In New York, over a million people turned out to watch the funeral procession which included one hundred thousand Union soldiers. The text is 1st-3rd grade in reading level.
