RE: Your personal choice of "most tragic" character in the assassination story
I'd have to say Mary Lincoln. Having her husband murdered as she sat next to him unsettled her even more. In her later years, every loud bang supposedly reminded her of Booth's shot. After the death's of Eddie & Willie, this seems almost unbearable.
I feel because of his non-involvement and what he was subjected to, Spangler is a close second. "There are few subjects that ignite more casual, uninformed bigotry and condescension from elites in this nation more than Dixie - Jonah Goldberg" |
