Assistance Surgeon Joseph J. Woodward of the Army Medical Museum prepared a report following autopsy on April 15, 1865.

 

Nearly 100 years later, in 1953, D.K. Winter of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Medical Illustration Service was commissioned to compose this sketch based on Woodward’s report.
