Lincoln nees a special order from nees
Iomas F Stevens recalls the 1864 election in a St. Louis convalescent barracks who faced furloughs for field voters. Soldiers from Illinois and other states wavered between McClellan and Lincoln as a presidential order allowed furloughs for voting where no field voting provision existed. The result shifted some votes toward Lincoln. Lieutenant Chapman sought authority from General Schofield, who was away.
