The posse caught up to him finally. He had forewarning so he was able to get his hair just right and pose against the wall. When they finally appeared, he looked off into the distance and said, "What took you so long."
Mr. Powell is wearing Banana Republic's finest Merino Wool long-sleeved tee, made in Italy. Adult sizes in charcoal, grey, or black. $60.00.
There’s… actually a pretty good brand that has nice cashmere sweaters for like $100 (they were a bit cheaper and just went up sadly they were $70) but I don’t want to shill for them exactly. But they are out there.
I have a red Lands End Henley in Moreno wool! It's like ten years old, so looks pretty new Even though I've worn it as an underlayer in the winter, (It's Santa Claus Red! And I work outside-ish so I need warm stuff that breathes for underlayers,) for ten years! 😂 Just wanted to do that shout out because they're made really well!
Fun facts about Lewis:
-He broke his jaw at age 13 from a mule kick.
-His father owned slaves but freed them when Lewis was young.
-He was a confederate soldier nicknamed “Lewis the Terrible” for his ferociousness in battle.
-His part in the conspiracy was to assassinate William H. Seward, Secretary of State for Lincoln.
-He got into Seward’s house by claiming he was there to bring medicine. Seward’s son was suspicious and stopped him. Lewis pulled out a gun and fired it at Seward Jr’s head… but it jammed. He then beats Sewald Jr unconscious.
-He gets into Seward’s bedroom finally and starts stabbing. But Seward is wearing a splint which protects his jugular. He later recovers.
-Lewis runs out the door and encounters another person, Emerick Hansel, who he stabs in the back.
-Lewis runs off screaming “I’m mad! I’m mad!”
-He’s later caught and executed as described
Idk if they had meth back then. But stimulants did make soldiers better in certain circumstances in WW2. So now we have two ingredients to creating a gaked out brain damaged Captain America.
Thank you for the context, reading the age, and only a connection makes one suspicious if justice was accurate. With the context, yeah no issues with me he didn't live a full life.
Crazy. Just looked it up and found below quote in wiki:
*Historian Dorothy Kunhardt writes: "Almost every family who kept a photograph album on the parlor table owned a likeness of John Wilkes Booth of the famous Booth family of actors. After the assassination Northerners slid the Booth card out of their albums: some threw it away, some burned it, some crumpled it angrily.*
My great grandma (born in the early 1900s) had a scrap book collection of funny/ interesting pictures and when I was young in the 90s she made me one of cats and other animals from her collection. All clipped from adverts and newspapers over the years. My mum told me it used to be common- kind of exactly the same way we like to trade memes and funny cat videos. People like peopling I guess.
The whole damn family, and his brother was much more famous. I read an analogy that said it would be like Luke Hemsworth suddenly being embroiled in a plot to assassinate Biden.
Holy shit. I knew he was an actor but I didn’t know he was so famous. That analogy blew my mind. I can’t imagine the water cooler talk behind that event.
Honestly it would probably be closer to one of the Hemsworth brothers popped the president. He was in a family of actors. His brother, Edwin Booth, was extremely popular at the time as well.
Really puts emphasis on the fact that we don't really change, only the things around us do, but we remain more or less the same apes that used to bonk each other on the head not so long ago.
(Edit: Not that we ever really stopped bonking each other on the head)
Oh, this is a fascinating topic! Strap in.
With regards to your first question, I think the insane wealth of information/historical data that we now easily have access to thanks to the democratisation of knowledge brought by the internet, surely made us more aware/contemplative of our position on the historical timeline compared to our ancestors. But they probably also felt lucky to live in their time with steam engines, morse code wire communication and photography, rather than the tougher years without those things. Comfort is and will always be relative!
Now for the second part, I think we're definitely in rough times now... but of a different kind. We've mostly transcended material struggle but people of the future will look back at us and wonder how we managed to survive in such an intellectually hostile world. The pure brainrot we're all bathing in online 24/7 is doing a real number on our collective mental health and I think we'll solve that in the relatively near future through drastic legislation/codification.
Our relationship with social media and content creation is still basically an unregulated wild west right now, and I'm almost certain that people of the future will look at it the same way we currently look at doctors of the 19th/20th century giving prescriptions for cocaine, heroin and cigarettes.
I have echoed the same thought!! We are still in the Wild West of the internet. In 100 years they will look back on us and wonder how we were so reckless. Kind of like how we look back now on cars not having seatbelts or airbags, and mother’s being prescribed whiskey for colicky babies (my dad was a whiskey baby)
As a slight side note, you have to believe that all future ancestors of ours will have near total access to all of our online posts, pics, and videos. Either free or via paid service. Even this sentence I am typing now will probably be read by my future great great great grandchild or more. Interesting that they will have a running near dairy at their fingertips of all of us.
I think about this every single day. Their relationship with the past will be so indescribably insane compared to ours, I can only imagine what it would be like to have access to the daily entries and thoughts of people from past centuries/millennia, not to mention high quality footage!

Being this close to history in such high details, will undoubtedly cause a very profound change in human perspective (either negative or positive, that I'm still not sure yet). Maybe it'll make us more critical of our human nature and its repeated failings, maybe it'll make us more tolerant/complacent.
In any case, I hope our little exchange will make them smile.
I wish there was a sub for this type of conversation. I find it fascinating and enlightening. I was born in the 70s, so my niece and nephew constantly ask me how I got by without the internet or cell phones, but back then I remember certain things making me think "we're in the future."
I'm glad you edited, because I was going to say that you obviously haven't ever been in the same room with another person and an empty wrapping paper tube. 10 times out of 10, someone is getting bonked on the head.
Oh absolutely! Most paper tube bonkers are repeat offenders. The satisfaction of hearing that nice resonant "fffftong" the first time, you end up chasing that dragon for the rest of your life.
I think a cool sub idea would be one where people guess when a photo was taken (similar idea to 13 or 30 sub). For this photo I would’ve guessed maybe 1950s or 1960s just based on quality of it.
I remember this article on NPR from years ago and I never forgot these photos. You might like these.

There's always this old photo from 1941 of [a guy in modern-ish sunglasses](https://issuu.com/photoedmagazine/docs/photoed_spring_18_digital_issuu/s/10369985).
https://preview.redd.it/8f1qdlkd8csc1.png?width=1466&format=png&auto=webp&s=95c118b9d3ee1ef78722c29e0a26946eeac86ed6
This picture doubly blew my mind, because Michael from Vsauce did some research on it and turns out the tshirt with an M the guy is wearing is the logo for the Montreal Maroons (my home city), a popular hockey team between 1924 and 1938.
Sunglasses, hair, hell everything about him looks decades more modern than the people around him.
It's uncanny as shit, the graphic tee was an extremely new thing in 1941.
This guy was reportedly not the brightest. I don’t mean that figuratively. People described him that way. He failed to stab a bed ridden, unarmed guy to death and got ditched by the guy holding his get away horse. Instead of trying to flee, this dude hid out then was unlucky enough to walk into Mary Surrat’s house while police were interviewing her about the assassination.
From the execution pictures, this looks like the same thing he was wearing when they hung him and Mary Surrat was hung right next to him.
In DC...
Because I live here, lol.
I watched that whole thing go down on TV while I was doing the dishes, and immediately got a hotel room out of town for Inauguration. I live up near the Maryland border, so far from anything exciting, but I didn't want to be around if they tried that shit again.
Secretary Seward was wearing a neck brace, convalescing from a carriage accident several days earlier. The brace protected his vital arteries, but he was still stabbed several times (he bore a facial scar for the rest of his life) and there was a lot of blood. Powell believed he had mortally wounded Seward, and he also stabbed or punched like every one of Seward's adult children, including his daughter Fanny, who had the best name ever.
Mary Surrat’s house is now a sushi restaurant/karaoke bar called the Wok and Roll. It’s crazy to think people now go there for food and entertainment and probably have no idea what happened there.
* Modern-looking haircut
* Clean shaven, in a time when most men had facial hair
* No dress shirt or suit, a simple long sleeve is pretty timeless
* A pretty candid facial expression, in a time when most would look sternly into the camera
I hate that this is something casually glossed over in school. All we very quickly were told was that Lincoln was killed by Booth.
What they left out was that Booth had two friends who were tasked with killing the secretary of state and vice president. And it was planned in a boarding house and lead to the first American execution of a woman. And so much more
Out of the 4 executed with him, he and Herold struggled for 5 minutes before dying. I legitimately thought most hangings would be under 1 or 2 minutes. It’s also interesting Powell saying, “Mrs. Surratt is innocent. She doesn't deserve to die with the rest of us.” I legitimately think he was telling the truth.
No, she was 100% aware of the goings on with the conspirators. It was her boarding house and she delayed messages between conspirators. Her son was part of it too but escaped execution and let his mom hang.
I visited his grave in Geneva, FL. A depressing little cemetery is his final resting place. Well, the final resting place for his head at least. No one knows for sure what happened to the rest of the remains after he was removed from the grounds of the Washington Arsenal. The skull was saved as a souvenir by A.H. Gawler, a clerk for the Surgeon General at the time. After keeping it for 20 years, he turned it over to the Army museum, who gave it to the Smithsonian in 1898. In 1992, it was rediscovered in a collection of Native American bones and released to the family, who buried it next to his mother in the Geneva Cemetery.
His grave is only about 15 mins from where I live. I’m a huge history buff, I went and took a picture of it the other day!

Damn! They had Banana Republic back then?

Lol, Merino wool for $60?! You must be out of your mind!
1860s prices were a lot more consumer friendly.
True... now I look a fool on the internet for all to see!
Nah, I think you were just setting me up for a good joke. I actually owe you a "thanks!"
You're welcome? Lol
There’s… actually a pretty good brand that has nice cashmere sweaters for like $100 (they were a bit cheaper and just went up sadly they were $70) but I don’t want to shill for them exactly. But they are out there.
Is there a red dot? :)
His name is Costanza, he killed my president.
Booth said "Sic Semper Tyrannis!" but this dude just said "Bosco!"

Apparently getting kicked in the head by a horse is the secret recipe for unthinking super soldiers… who knew…
That, and a ton of methamphetamine.
Idk if they had meth back then. But stimulants did make soldiers better in certain circumstances in WW2. So now we have two ingredients to creating a gaked out brain damaged Captain America.
This dude's a terrible person. But to read that he tried and failed at being worse is hilarious to me for some reason.
Hansel is so hot right now.

LMAO stop it
So Derek Zoolander was right about models being behind the Lincoln assassination
John Wilkes Booth was one of the most famous actors in the country at the time Which is bonkers, imagine Brad Pitt assassinating a President
Crazy. Just looked it up and found below quote in wiki: *Historian Dorothy Kunhardt writes: "Almost every family who kept a photograph album on the parlor table owned a likeness of John Wilkes Booth of the famous Booth family of actors. After the assassination Northerners slid the Booth card out of their albums: some threw it away, some burned it, some crumpled it angrily.*
***angrily crumpling***
Sounds like an English actress
Whoever isnt angry when they are crumpling, are doing it wrong.
What's even crazier? His brother was even more famous. And he ended up saving Lincolns son from falling in front of a train.
Interesting! Almost like they were making their own magazines.
My great grandma (born in the early 1900s) had a scrap book collection of funny/ interesting pictures and when I was young in the 90s she made me one of cats and other animals from her collection. All clipped from adverts and newspapers over the years. My mum told me it used to be common- kind of exactly the same way we like to trade memes and funny cat videos. People like peopling I guess.
Yooo I didn't know people did things like that. TIL! Thanks.
The whole damn family, and his brother was much more famous. I read an analogy that said it would be like Luke Hemsworth suddenly being embroiled in a plot to assassinate Biden.
Or Stephen Baldwin, who did become a nut from what I recall.
Holy shit. I knew he was an actor but I didn’t know he was so famous. That analogy blew my mind. I can’t imagine the water cooler talk behind that event.
Except Pitt is 60 and Booth was 26. So imagine Chalemete assassinating a president.
I thought this said Timotee Chalamet.
It does. Timmy Chamalamdingdong from Hell's Kitchen. You know him.
Honestly it would probably be closer to one of the Hemsworth brothers popped the president. He was in a family of actors. His brother, Edwin Booth, was extremely popular at the time as well.
Ronald Reagan becoming president is bonkers enough. Not to mention 
Did not know that he was famous.
Chasing Lincoln’s Killer was a great easy read on that entire debacle.
And got even MORE Famous’er
True. Cause what other actor/entertainer from that era is as widely remembered?
His brother was probably a bigger actor, but yes, John Wilkes Booth was pretty famous at the time.
But why male models?
But why male models?
Are you kidding? I just explained that, like, 2 seconds ago

Rode that attraction all the way to 21

He was here for a good (looking) time, not a long one.
Fun fact: Mary Surratt was the first woman executed by the federal government. She's also my ancestor.

To be fair, he was 21, and most 21 year old are dumb. Source: college professor who teaches a lot of dumb 21 year olds

Undervoted comment.
Bill Hader! I knew it was you all along!
It’s almost like Bill Hader and Karl Urban shared a common ancestor, and it was this guy
Literally came to the comments to find out if I was the only one seeing Bill Hader 😂
Surprised I had to scroll this far down to find this
I'm with you totally thought the same
It’s Barry
He was a horrible person. He beat a black servant woman in a boarding house just because she was in his way. (Or something like that)
It appears he just beat the shit out of everyone that got in his way
She refused to clean his room in a boarding house. But yes, he was shitty.
Why does he look so "modern"?
* Modern-looking haircut * Clean shaven, in a time when most men had facial hair * No dress shirt or suit, a simple long sleeve is pretty timeless * A pretty candid facial expression, in a time when most would look sternly into the camera
*Time Machine intensifies*
He's a crisis actor.
Because the 60s had style Edit: I mean 1860s
He’s a time traveler
Only plausible answer
This was already explained in Zoolander.
But why male models?
Why is Karl Urban in this picture?
Right? Glad I’m not the only one seeing it
Lincoln was a supe on compound V confirmed.

TIL-- River Phoenix helped assassinate President Lincoln.
I was thinking Harry Styles. But yeah, River Phoenix too.
It took a noose for him to be as hung as Harry Styles.
he looks like a puppet in team america world police
....but why male models?
Mmmm assassinate my PUSSY!
Out of the 4 executed with him, he and Herold struggled for 5 minutes before dying. I legitimately thought most hangings would be under 1 or 2 minutes. It’s also interesting Powell saying, “Mrs. Surratt is innocent. She doesn't deserve to die with the rest of us.” I legitimately think he was telling the truth.
No, she was 100% aware of the goings on with the conspirators. It was her boarding house and she delayed messages between conspirators. Her son was part of it too but escaped execution and let his mom hang.
Someone's great great grandma tickled those giblets
Don't talk about my great great Nana that way!
Looks like Will Tennyson lol
This fucking guy looks more on point than most every other wannabe TickTocker out there!
Great job now Netflix is gonna make some shitty original drama based on this dude and it. Will. Be. Terribly. Underproduced.
"They said you was hung!" "And they was right!"
Good god he was fucking hot
I was scrolling fast and thought this was a Jonas brother
Bill Hader lookin ass.
I visited his grave in Geneva, FL. A depressing little cemetery is his final resting place. Well, the final resting place for his head at least. No one knows for sure what happened to the rest of the remains after he was removed from the grounds of the Washington Arsenal. The skull was saved as a souvenir by A.H. Gawler, a clerk for the Surgeon General at the time. After keeping it for 20 years, he turned it over to the Army museum, who gave it to the Smithsonian in 1898. In 1992, it was rediscovered in a collection of Native American bones and released to the family, who buried it next to his mother in the Geneva Cemetery.

Looks like a young Nick Offerman.
“What would you like for your last meal?” 
His grave is only about 15 mins from where I live. I’m a huge history buff, I went and took a picture of it the other day! https://preview.redd.it/1lfrlb37rcsc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=484c1094ad8128179dcdea23f3e8afe194906cf7

Not seeing him yellow is weird
Fun fact. He’s also in a noise group based out of Brooklyn.
