Description of Pictures: The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln: What happened in Washington, D.C., in the spring of 1865 is an incredible story. The search for Lincoln’s killer captivated a nation already dealing with the awfulness of the end of the Civil War. Now John Wilkes Booth and his accomplices—if indeed he did not act alone—were being hunted while the nation went into mourning.

Michael F. Bishop, executive director of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, leads scholars James L. Swanson and Edward Steers Jr. in a conversation about Lincoln’s assassination and its aftermath. From the swamps of Maryland and the forests of Virginia, we follow the chase after Lincoln’s killer or killers as we consider the many conspiracy theories, the personalities involved, and the murder, intrigue, and betrayal that riveted a nation. Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer by Swanson and Blood on the Moon: The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln by Steers are available for signing.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2006 photos: Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia. Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point.. Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
