This Guy ruined and altered a Lincoln Pardon Document. Just goes to show there are snakes in the grass in every aspect of Historical related collecting.

Let's hope it can be restored.

Cheers, Ade.

I've been getting MT for a couple of yrs. now. They have some pretty good articles and info. It's amazing how people try and sometimes do get away with that kind of bull. I was wondering the same thing Ade. Hope to here more about it. Ron

Thats the sad part about it....the history ruined. The thing that made me wonder is how the heck did they seriously hang that in the National Archives Building and NOBODY realized that the date looked VERY sketchy?? It is very noticeable, even from my horrible scan! Im guessing this "scholar" was a well known or trusted man and they probably just took his word for it. Either that or nobody had the stones to call him out on it until now!
