Happy Birthday to Edwin Booth! Despite his success as the greatest Hamlet of all time and one of the best actors of his generation, Edwin forever lived in the private melancholy and shame of his brother’s crime at Ford’s Theatre.

Lt. John Toffey was in the audience of Ford’s Theatre & then rushed to tell the news of the crime to his superiors. While reporting, a riderless horse galloped by, which Toffey overtook. It was later discovered that the horse had been ridden by Lewis Powell after his attack on Seward. #VeteransDay

Fanny Seward is on this Lincoln Assassination Tour badge. She was an eyewitness to the savage stabbing of her father, Sec. of State William Seward, & others. She later wrote in her diary of the event, “Blood, blood my thoughts seemed drenched in it—I seemed to breathe its sickening odor.”
