RE: Your personal choice of "most tragic" character in the assassination story
I always think back to poor Mrs. Herold and the story of them stopping all of the clocks in the house on the day of the execution so she wouldn't know the exact hour (although stopping the clocks is a common Victorian mourning custom anyway) but she still found out when nearby church bells rang out the hour.
“Within this enclosed area a structure to be inhabited by neither the living or the dead was fast approaching completion.” ~New York World 7/8/1865 |
