For this webinar, we will be joined by author/historian Christopher Daley who will present the acclaimed lecture "He Now Belongs to the Ages".  What you think you know about the Lincoln assassination is just the beginning.

About the presentation:

Daley says, "This presentation is the result of many years of research and travel. My journey has taken me to Washington D.C. to photograph and document the site of the assassination and Lincoln's death - Ford’s Theater and the Peterson House. Also, I've visited Mary Surratt’s Boarding House and her Tavern where the conspirators met. Then, walking in the footsteps of the assassin I was able to photograph the sites of his escape - the Samuel Mudd House, The Pine Thicket; the site where Booth and and co-conspirator David Herold hid out in the days after the assassination, and finally the site of the Garrett House and Barn where Federal Troops cornered and killed Booth. The result is a fascinating multimedia presentation of one of the worst tragedies in the history of the United States!"
