Lincoln cartoon: A review in Saturday’s Calendar section about a new book on Civil War-era cartoons gave the year of publication for a cartoon about President Lincoln as 1864. Thomas Nast’s drawing -- of Lincoln at the Union Army’s headquarters writing a dispatch that said, “All seems well with us” -- appeared April 15, 1865, the day after Lincoln was shot at Ford’s Theatre.
