The well-known criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow traveled the Central  
U.S.with their gang the “Barrow Gang” during the Great Depression. The gang is believed to have killed at least nine police officers and committed several civilian murders. The couple themselves were eventually ambushed and killed on a rural
road in Louisiana by law officers. Their exploits became a major part of American
pop folklore with the1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, starring Warren Beatty and Faye
Dunaway.

Lincoln’s body (above) departed Washington in a nine-car funeral train. The 1,700-
mile trip back to Illinois was essentially over the same tracks that carried the then 
President- elect east in 1861. Cities along the route that hold funeral processions 
included Philadelphia, New York City, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Chicago. 

The locomotive Nashville of the Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad pulled the Lincoln funeral train.

This is the last known high-quality photograph of Lincoln.
