RE: Conspirators on the "Hot Seat"

They were very popular during the 19th-century, and we have several that we put in period rooms at Surratt House during the summer to show the public the early version of air conditioning. We also lower the shades on hot days to show how the Victorians cooled the house. Those palm leaf fans were indeed popular, Laurie! You can see one in this image of detectives on the wall of the Arsenal after the hanging. It is also said that Mrs. Surratt used one repeatedly in the courtroom....
