An eyewitness account of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln
Manuscripts
Phonograph record of Hazelton's reminiscence of Lincoln's assassination. The written version of this account first appeared in the February 1927 issue of Ladies Home Journal. The recording was made in 1933 at Freeman Lang's studios on Hollywood, Calif. There are some inaccuracies. Hazelton noted that the Lincolns' arrived to the theater during the second act, although the majority of the eyewitnesses place their arrival at 8:30, half hour into the performance. He also erroneously listed the Surgeon General Joseph K. Barnes among the guests in Lincoln's box. Hazelton added, as if it were a matter of fact, the fictitious story that John Wilkes Booth managed to escape to South America, later to return to the United States and commit suicide in 1903.
