This presentation is the result of many years of research and travel. Christopher's journey has taken him to Washington D.C. to photograph and document the site of the assassination and Lincoln's death - Ford’s Theater and the Peterson House. Also, he has visited Mary Surratt’s Boarding House and her Tavern where the conspirators met. Then, walking in the footsteps of the assassin he was able to photograph the sites of his escape - the Samuel Mudd House, The Pine Thicket; the site where Booth and and co-conspirator David Herold hid out in the days after the assassination, and finally the site of the Garrett House and Barn where Federal Troops cornered and killed Booth. The result is a fascinating multimedia presentation of one of the worst tragedies in the history of the United States!

This program is sponsored by The Friends of the Englewood Library. There is no cost to attend.
