Assassination Photos

[Jim Garrett]

With the advent of digitizing the images and the ability to really analyze the images, it has allowed us to dig into the content of the gallows pictures. Being able to see the expressions of not only the condemned, but also the other participants in what was the most famous/infamous hanging in history, brings the event to life. For those who were privileged enough to hear Dr. Blaine talk about the dire condition of Mrs. Surratt's health, we have a whole deeper perspective and appreciation for her condition. My most sincere thanks to Blaine, Barry and John for bringing this event "to death". It would be great for a digitize techno geek to colorize this group.
