RE: Life, Crime and Capture of John Wilkes Booth
Regarding the photo of John Bright:
"Vice-President Shuyler Colfax, then Speaker of the House of Representatives, wrote to Bright in 1866, requesting a likeness of Bright, saying, "Your face is quite familiar to me already, as your portrait hung up in President Lincoln's Reception room, and often, in the many evenings I spent with him there, he referred to you with sincere regard & even affection. Every loyal man & woman in the land knows you, knows you and esteems you." SOURCE: https://archive.org/stream/abrahamlincol...c_djvu.txt |
