Excerpt from Ford's Theatre and the House Where Lincoln Died Of the great actor Edwin Booth. Early the next morning the President died in the Petersen House, directly across the Street from the theatre. When President Lincoln entered the theatre box that fateful night, prospects for the Nation's future appeared bright. The War Between the States was virtually at an end. In the Confederate States the people were returning to the weary task Of reconstruction, and many North erners were willing to forget the past in the solemn rejoicing Of victory. Both in the North and in the South the personality Of Lincoln was seen as the guiding hand in' binding up the Nation's wounds. The trials and agonies Of the tragic era which followed the conflict might have been spared the South had the Nation heeded the sublime spirit embodied in the words Of the Second Inaugural Address which spoke Of a peace with malice toward none, with charity for all. With the smoke Of the assassin's pistol, the mounting hopes Of an early recon ciliation vanished. The mild peace advocated by President Lincoln gave way to the outcry Of the Northern radicals for vengeance. In his death, as in his life, Abraham Lincoln has entered deeply into the folklore and history Of our country. He has become an eternal sym bol, to us and to the world, Of the heights to which a common man can aspire under a democratic way Of life. The Lincoln Museum portrays his homely greatness and the tragedy Of his death. At no place can the work of Lincoln as a national leader and as President be more appropriately commemorated than at the site where this work was brought to an abrupt conclusion. The Petersen House, restored as of that period, carries one to the days Of the Civil War and to one Of that war's saddest nights.

In downtown Washington, almost midway between the Capitol and the White House, two historic structures, Ford's Theatre and the House Where Lincoln Died, have been preserved as memorials to Abraham Lincoln. These buildings are associated with one of the most tragic and dramatic episodes in American history. In Ford's Theatre, on the evening of April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a member of a prominent theatrical family and brother of the great actor Edwin Booth. Early the next morning the President died in the Petersen House, directly across the street from the theatre.

April 14, 1865. A famous actor pulls a trigger in the presidential balcony, leaps to the stage and escapes, as the president lies fatally wounded. In the panic that follows, forty-six terrified people scatter in and around Ford’s Theater as soldiers take up stations by the doors and the audience surges into the streets chanting, “Burn the place down!” This is the untold story of Lincoln’s assassination: the forty-six stage hands, actors, and theater workers on hand for the bewildering events in the theater that night, and what each of them witnessed in the chaos-streaked hours before John Wilkes Booth was discovered to be the culprit. In Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination, historian Thomas A. Bogar delves into previously unpublished sources to tell the story of Lincoln’s assassination from behind the curtain, and the tale is shocking. Police rounded up and arrested dozens of innocent people, wasting time that allowed the real culprit to get further away. Some closely connected to John Wilkes Booth were not even questioned, while innocent witnesses were relentlessly pursued. Booth was more connected with the production than you might have known—learn how he knew each member of the cast and crew, which was a hotbed of secessionist resentment. Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination also tells the story of what happened to each of these witnesses to history, after the investigation was over—how each one lived their lives after seeing one of America’s greatest presidents shot dead without warning. Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination is an exquisitely detailed look at this famous event from an entirely new angle. It is must reading for anyone fascinated with the saga of Lincoln’s life and the Civil War era.
