Ford's Theater in Washington hosted a crowded Good Friday audience as President Lincoln and his party attended Our American Cousin with Ulysses Grant absent. John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln behind the left ear, fled on a horse, and Booth and conspirators pursued a wider plot targeting Seward and Johnson, leading to a national chase and trials.

Manchester remembers Lincoln as town kin in study of fate

In Manchester a sense of kinship with Lincoln persists after his assassination. The piece recalls Captain Robert Todd Lincoln at Appomattox, the 1862 Savage's Station losses of Co. E, and the town’s observance of Lincoln’s funeral procession with sermons and a lingering respect for the fallen president.
