EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Edward Spangler, a member of the infamous Lincoln assassination plot in 1865. Spangler, who worked at Ford's Theatre in Washington DC during that fateful night, played a role in preparing the box where President Abraham Lincoln was fatally shot by John Wilkes Booth. Overheard expressing negative sentiments about the president, Spangler was arrested and tried as an accomplice to Booth's heinous act. Consequently, he received a six-year prison sentence. However, this story takes an unexpected turn when President Andrew Johnson pardoned Spangler in 1869, leading to his release from incarceration. The photograph showcases him wearing typical attire of the 19th century - a hat and clothes befitting the era. The image is part of Mathew Brady Historian with a Camera by James D Horan published in 1955. It offers us a glimpse into one of America's most notorious crimes and its aftermath during the American Civil War period. Edward Spangler stands as both an enigmatic figure and symbolizes treachery within our nation's history. This portrait serves as a reminder of how individuals can become entangled in conspiracies that alter not only their lives but also shape the destiny of an entire country.
