Summary
The Lydia in question was Lydia Smith, housekeeper and friend of Congressman Thaddeus Stevens of Lancaster,PA. The author of this 12 page document appears to be a person who had become interested in the history of slavery in the United States. He took trips to visit sites related to the fight against slavery and became very interested in Mr Stevens. He presents a number of facts about Stevens, his career, and his funeral in Lancaster. The title of the article comes from the difficulty he had in locating Ms. Smith's grave. With the help of a genealogist, he located the grave. Though the author seems to be a layman and not a professional historian, he does present through his research facts about the Congressman that are not common knowledge.

Summary
From the moment of Lincoln's death on April 15, 1865, until Andrew Johnson, his replacement, formally announced postwar plans on May 29, the fate of the country hung in the balance. War had left the Republic strained almost beyond endurance. Johnson's ascendancy to the presidency seemed the killing stroke, even to the victorious North. A former slave owner from the border state of Tennessee, Johnson had been drunk at his inauguration as vice president; he was hated equally by the South and the North. Some Northerners were even convinced he had been part of the conspiracy behind Lincoln's assassination. Later, he escaped impeachment by a single vote. As Howard Means reveals in this revisionist account of Johnson's first six weeks in office, the new president faced almost insurmountable odds. Yet Johnson not only met but overcame them, preserving the Union for which so many had sacrificed their lives.--From publisher description.
