Carolyn - Thank you so much for finding this online! I hope that most of you agree that it is one of the best, condensed versions of the whole episode that you will find. The photography is fantastic - as was the photographer who worked on it. He is so dedicated that he spent the night camped out in his car in order to get shots of the Surratt House at sunset and also at sunrise for the best effect.

Of course, Booth and Herold were there at midnight, so that would be difficult to replicate. It has been done once (right down to "Mr. Lloyd" standing at the tavern door) for Blue and Gray magazine back in the 1990s, but it required many takes and many positioning of photographic lights on the lawn at midnight.
