Support

Account of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, first published in 1865. According to Wikipedia: ‘George Alfred Townsend (January 30, 1841 – April 15, 1914), was a noted war correspondent during the American Civil War, and a later novelist. Townsend wrote under the pen name ‘Gath’, which was derived by adding an ‘H’ to his initials, and inspired by the biblical passage II Samuel 1:20, ‘Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askalon’… He is considered to have been the youngest correspondent of the war. In 1865, Townsend was Washington correspondent for the New York World, covering the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and its aftermath. His daily reports filed between April 17 – May 17 were published later in 1865 as a book, The Life, Crime, and Capture of John Wilkes Booth.’
