RE: ** NEW DISCOVERY REGARDING BOOTH AUTOPSY PHOTO
After Henry Wirz was hung on the gallows his body was not immediately buried next to the Lincoln conspirators as has been thought by many. The remains were brought into one of the prison buildings where an autopsy was performed. Doctors and military personnel were present and Alexander Gardner took a photograph of the event. Gardner was there to document the execution taking four photographs of the scene
The autopsy photograph is shown in Witness to an Era: The Life and Photographs of Alexander Gardner by Mark Katz. Does anyone have this book? is there a credit line for the image? |
