Abe is 10 feet beneath the stone encased in concrete to prevent thieves from stealing his body.

There were several attempts of stealing Lincoln's body but the most famous one was when a group of counterfeiters from Chicago planned to steal Lincolns body and hold it for Ransom for $200,000 in exchange for the gangs main guy. Lincoln was very important and people didn't want to let him go and rest in peace so that is why he is buried under concrete and steal. His body was dug up a couple times and moved while the guards were supposed to be watching.

This was the first time a President was killed so when his coffin was being opened and being moved the Government didn't know what to do, so it took them a few times of Lincolns body to be dug up for them to figure out what they had to do to stop it.

@Ilovedthe70s76 Wait why would anyone Rob a dead President?

[Ilovedthe70s76]

Have to remember also how many times was his grave robbed? twice? ewww Finally they wised up and buried him under tons of concrete. His tomb is so impressive!! That was the first time I think, I ever say a person buried into a Wall and here was Mary and Tad and one more can't remember his name, this was way back in the 70's

[Ilovedthe70s76]

Mary and his sons are buried there also across from him in the wall

[Ilovedthe70s76]

For me, I love the Lincolns, not just Abraham but Mary and the boys, and I love the history and the stories about their lives. In fact I share many personality traits with Willie and Tad, as a youngester and an adult. Willie wrote a journal and you can read it today in the book about Willie, the ONLY book about him; its called "Mystic Chords Of Memory" and its my all time favorite book. I got it in January of 2011 and I have read it several times over. Willie confirmed a lot of things. RIP AL.
