WERE HUNG

Includes wood fragment that originated from the scaffold used to execute the four Lincoln conspirators; Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold and George Atzerodt, July 7, 1865. Beautifully presented in a scarlett suede mat with florentine gold trim. The wood relic is housed at the center of the display under a 3X magnifying cover. Above is an (Alexander Gardner) copy photograph of the four dead conspirators hanging from the gallows, with descriptive text below. This relic was secured as a souvenir by a soldier of the 1st U.S. Veteran Volunteers who served as a guard at the execution. Comes with certificate of authencity which incorporates a copy photo of the original note and piece of wood that this fragment originated from. Excellent.
