CDV, political cartoon lampooning Lincoln who is shown picking a banjo, with a straw hat and the Proclamation in his satchel. Unfortunately the press spun a simple story of Lincoln, who was visiting the troops at Antietam, October 1862. Ward Hill Lamon sang a few of Lincoln's favorite songs to him as they traveled, and the incident was blown out of proportion to suggest Lincoln's indifference to the casualties of the Battle of Antietam. Slightly light.
