Join us Wednesday, April 10 2024 at 7 PM Lincoln Assassination.

On the evening of April 14,1865, an entire theater audience was witness to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

Tim Good will present a program on the Lincoln assassination based on his book, We Saw Lincoln Shot: One Hundred Eye Witness Accounts. From diaries, letters, depositions, affidavits, and periodicals, the book is a collection of accounts from a variety of theatergoers who, by chance, saw one of the truly pivotal events in US history. These accounts provide firsthand details recorded over a span of ninety years from that night in the Ford’s Theatre.

Good has served at over a dozen assignments including: Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, Ford’s Theatre, the National Mall, Cuyahoga Valley, Dayton Aviation, Ulysses S. Grant, Agate Fossil Beds, Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, Pictured Rocks and Acadia.

Good received a Bachelor of Arts from Valparaiso University, Master of Arts from the University of Durham, England, and earned a diploma from the United States Naval War College.

He has authored six published books: The Allied Air Campaign Against Hitler's U-boats: Victory in the Battle of the Atlantic (2023), The American Eagle Squadrons of the Royal Air Force (2020), American Privateers in the War of 1812: The Vessels and Their Prizes as Recorded in Niles’ Weekly Register (2012), Lincoln for President: An Underdog’s Path to the 1860 Republican Nomination (2009), The Lincoln-Douglas Debates and the Making of a President (2007) and We Saw Lincoln Shot: One Hundred Eyewitness Accounts (1996).
