RE: Assassination Trivia
You've seen Waud's sketches, Laurie. The most popular is the sketch of Ford's showing the box and "the spot on which the man jumped". His sketches were very helpful with the restoration of Ford's to it's 1865 appearance.

RE: Assassination Trivia
There is a fellow down here in North Carolina that gives a good impression of Alfred Waud at reenactments and living history venues. He dresses the part and can even sketch like him. I have tried my hand at sketching. Unfortunately my hand is not too good

RE: Assassination Trivia
Here's a drawing by Waud in Harper's Weekly - who wants to bet that the Arsenal drawing is also by him?

Wow, I had never seen Lew Wallace as an older gentleman-but I can tell that it is him.

RE: Assassination Trivia
Thank you all! I must admit that I seldom look for an artist's name on old engravings. I guess I better get up to speed.

I'm afraid not, Rich. My book was written by a man.

RE: Assassination Trivia
Dave,
This is just a wild guess, but was it Dark Union by Ray Neff? Craig |

RE: Assassination Trivia
Still not right. My book predates Blood on the Moon and Dark Union.
