Excellent account. Many people, then and now, (including myself), would love to have been there.

Forgotten? I agree that it is overshadowed by other events happening right before or after, but it does get ink.

I'm with Bill N. Can't remember when I didn't know about it.

Reading a contemporary issue of the NY Times, they criticized Lincoln for putting himself at risk, now that the end of the war was in sight. They eventually got on board the "good job Abe" train and celebrated his sitting in Davis' chair.
