The Lecture:
This lecture is a one hour presentation about a national tragedy: the assassination of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. This lecture is the result of years of research and travel. Beginning with the backdrop of the Civil War it examines the plot to kidnap Lincoln and explains how that plot developed into a plot to assassinate. Utilizing photographs of the period and modern photgraphs, the assassination is recounted in stunning detail. The escape and capture of Booth is fully documented by the lecturer. Photographs and video footage of where he hid and was killed are included. The lecture concludes with a vivid description of the trial and execution of the conspirators to the assassination Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold and George Atzerodt.
