Oh dear! what other photos should we worry about? Luckily there are statues like the one of Jackson on his horse at Bull run to give an accurate image of history.

How can you be sure a statue is accurate?

I have often suspected that Lincoln wore stilts in photos in order to increase his stature.

"I have often suspected that Lincoln wore stilts in photos in order to increase his stature."

Sounds like a tall tale to me.

My brother is in law school and says that the state of Georgia should prosecute this hoaxer. In his opinion, the state has an ironclad case.

Not sure that there's enough truth in this to float it… and so much litigation sinks without trace.

I disagree, I don't think they will ever get a conviction. The evidence isn't picture-perfect.

Am I the only one who wants to game with the 2 foot model he used in the photo?
