History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

President Lincoln Funeral Train


In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln's funeral train is pictured during a stop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where his body would lay in state in the capitol building. The train was retracing the route it had traveled from Illinois to Washington, DC in 1860, when Lincoln was elected president.
