Saturday, November 16, 2013, Thomas A. Bogar will speak on his just released book, Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination (Regnery History, November 2013) at Pages of the Past bookstore at 6:30 p.m. Copies will be available for purchase and Mr. Bogar will sign his book following the discussion.
Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination is the untold story of Lincoln's assassination: the forty-six stage hands, actors, and theater workers on hand for the bewildering events in the theater that night, and what each of them witnessed in the chaos-streaked hours before John Wilkes Booth was discovered to be the culprit. In Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination, historian Thomas A. Bogar delves into previously unpublished sources to tell the story of Lincoln's assassination from behind the curtain, and the tale is shocking. Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination also tells the story of what happened to each of these witnesses to history, after the investigation was over--how each one lived their lives after seeing one of America's greatest presidents shot dead without warning.
Thomas A. Bogar has taught theatre for nearly forty years. Currently a professor at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, a judge for Washington, D.C.'s Helen Hayes Theatre Awards, and a consultant for the American Council on Education, he is also the author of "John E. Owens" (2002), "American Presidents Attend the Theatre" (2006), and numerous journal articles. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.
