This image provided by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum shows a photograph of Abraham Lincoln lying in an open coffin. On Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2014,   a retired historian, Ronald Rietveld, will donate to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum in Springfield, Ill.,  the original notes he took when he found the photograph.  Rietveld's discovery is one of the last chapters of a story that began in April of 1865 just days after Lincoln was assassinated. In New York City, one of a number of stops the remains of Lincoln made as it made its way by train to Springfield for burial, a photographer was allowed to take a picture of the president in an open coffin.
