That's one of my favorites also. It was taken by Kieran McAuliffe of Canada when Kieran interviewed JOH for an article in North & South Magazine. We have it framed and hanging in the James O. Hall Research Center at Surratt House. Some of my other great photos of him are with my daughter, whom he met when she was three and helped me raise. I have photos of him at her wedding, and the last ones were taken with my grandson about age three sitting on his lap.

Just a side note: Mr. Hall continued to conduct our Booth Tours until he was well into his 80s - and he never accepted one dime in payment. Also, many people do not know that he was very well-versed in general history on Abraham Lincoln (not just assassination-related), an expert consultant on George Washington for the administrators at Mount Vernon, and a great student of opera. He had many talents, but never boasted about any of them. Even when I would pass on some hare-brained new story on the Lincoln assassination, he would shake his head gently and say, "Oh my... where do we start?"
