However, few know much about the final days of this man who once begged his fellow citizens to be guided by the "better angels of their nature." Lincoln was constantly receiving death threats and soon began to put them out of his mind. His paramount concern in life was to preserve the Union he loved so much. Nevertheless, several days before his death, Lincoln told his friend Ward Laymen of a very disturbing dream he had the night before. In his dream, sobbing coming from the downstairs portion of the White House awakens Lincoln. He rises from his bed and walks down the stairs but sees no one there except a single soldier standing at attention. "Who is crying," Mr. Lincoln asks of the soldier? "Have you not heard," the Captain replies? "The Nation weeps," he says. "And why does the Nation weep," the President inquired? "There has been a great death in the White House," the Captain told his commander in chief. "Who is it," Lincoln asked? "Why Sir, it is the President who has died," the soldier replies and points to a coffin sitting just a short distance away. When Lincoln looked he saw himself resting in the coffin; a bullet wound in his head. The next evening Abraham Lincoln, 16th president and savior of the American Union was felled by a bullet fired by John Wilkes Booth to the back of his head. He was carried from Ford's Theater to a rooming house across the street and for most of the night lay quietly dying. By morning, the death struggle began. The President suddenly lurched his chest upward, gasped, gurgled and died. The room was silent except for Secretary of War Stanton who softly said: "Now he belongs to the ages."
