History is full of strange coincidences, and the Civil War is no exception. In fact, we’ve documented many coincidences that occurred during the biggest turning point in our nation’s history – from the story of Wilmer McLean, whose land provided the stage for the first Battle of Bull Run and whose house witnessed the signing of peace in Appomattox, to the Union soldiers from the 27th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, who found a copy of Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s "Lost Order" wrapped around three cigars in a field near Frederick, Maryland. But maybe no story of coincidence can compare to that of Stefan Lorant, who was researching a book on Abraham Lincoln in the 1950s, when he came across an image of the President’s funeral procession as it moved down Broadway in New York City. The photo was dated April 25, 1865 and it unlocked a truly remarkable occurrence in American History.

Maybe that one mystery smell in the city you’re visiting emanating from that sewer grate underneath your feet? Now imagine this: You’re walking across one of the most famous landmarks in America…The Brooklyn Bridge. Cars passing. People taking selfies. Totally normal, except there is something hiding within the foundation of the bridge that no one really knew about until fairly recently. What is it? What’s inside? Well, in order to find out, you are going to have to coffee up and volume up. Welcome to the Missing Chapter.
