The Conspirators to Assassinate President Lincoln
Come to our March 9th meeting, and hear our own Frank Mitchell tell us the fascinating stories of the people who conspired to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. Learn what happened to the conspirators, and why; and, follow John Wilkes Booth's escape route, after the dirty deed. Over the years, Frank has regaled our Round Table with interesting tales about many characters who were not found in our nation’s history books. I am certain you do not want to miss this meeting!

Mr. Frank Mitchell
Frank Mitchell is a local amateur historian, who has been studying US history since he was in junior high school. An honors graduate in history from Pepperdine University, Frank has a collection of more than 2,000 books on history--most of which are on the Civil War and the people involved. He has lectured on US history, from the American Revolution through the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, but most of his presentations have been on the Civil War. Frank has an extensive collection of memorabilia from the American Revolution on--including a British redcoat uniform, a uniform worn by the officer that guarded Mary Surratt, guns, field equipment, and much more. He also has an extensive collection of autographs, including all of Lincoln’s cabinet members, and almost all of Jeff Davis’ cabinet, as well as a lot of generals, including a letter from McClellan to his wife, in which he degrades Abraham Lincoln.
