New assassination play - Kieran McAuliffe - 11-03-2014 09:22 AM

An interesting review of a new play performed by a theater company in Syracuse, New York. To quote from the review...
Examining the ruined lives of survivors of the Lincoln assassination, "Lincoln's Blood" focuses on Mary Todd Lincoln, her dressmaker Elizabeth Keckley, Clara Harris and Major Henry Rathbone, the Lincolns' companions in the presidential box at Ford's Theatre, and Mary Surratt, the lone female conspirator in the assassination plot.

I still want to know-Who's blood was on the Pike County flag?

It depends to whom you speak, Herb. The Pike County Historical Society folks cast no doubt that the blood stains belong to Lincoln. In fact, they're quite passionate about it.

True,but they can't prove whose blood it really was!
