This is a colourized photograph of Lewis Thornton Powell, who was one of the men involved in the President Lincoln assassination plot. He was assigned to kill the Secretary of State, William Seward. Lewis Powell succeeded in seriously wounding William Seward but Seward survived. Lewis Powell was hanged on July 7, 1865. He was 21 years old. This is an interesting historical photograph. You can almost feel this man thinking.
