Ebook About The most enigmatic of the associates of Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, Confederate soldier Lewis Thornton Powell, using the alias Lewis Paine, was a key player in the postwar attempt to undermine the Federal government. On the night Lincoln was shot, 20-year-old Powell burst into the house of William Seward and attempted to assassinate the secretary of state. Captured shortly after the assassination, Powell stood trial for his crime and was hanged three months later. Powell and his role in the conspiracy has been the subject of debate for many years. Who was this man? This biography attempts to unveil his true character.Book Alias "Paine": Lewis Thornton Powell, the Mystery Man of the Lincoln Conspiracy, 2d ed. Review :
He does not get nearly as much attention obviously as John Wilkes Booth, who succeeded (at least in murder, but ended up solidifying Lincoln's martyrdom) in his abhorrent crime. Author Betty Ownsbey did an outstanding job with her thorough research. However, Lewis Thornton Powell (alias "Paine") is an enigma nonetheless. I wish we knew more about his four years of service as a soldier and his mysterious romantic relationships. What turned this compassionate, animal loving, Florida farm boy and Preacher's son into a would-be-assassin? Many speculate that four years of Civil War hardened him. Around 620,000 men died in this war, so it was likely he probably saw death and injury nearly every day as a soldier. But he obviously wasn't the only one deeply affected by this war, disappointed by the loss of the South and who hated Lincoln. Yet, he decided to be one of the few who set out to kill Lincoln and decapitate the government. I am curious to know what John Wilkes Booth said and how powerful was his conviction in those hours and hours of secret conversation with Powell and the others that finally led them to go to the extreme with the assassination.Powell immediately regretted his actions in his part of the plot and realized the foolishness of it. The plot was partly out of vanity, to obtain some sort of hero status to save the South. He is a tragedy. He had so much potential. Yes, we hear and read these types of platitudes about many who commit crimes. Perhaps knowledge of his idyllic boyhood and the sadness, anger and frustration revealed in his haunting last photos add to the tragedy of his life. The pictures of him on the gallows are especially sad when you think that his life should have gone in another direction. There should be pictures of him not with a noose around his neck but happy ones with a spouse and children and maybe in the Preacher role he once wanted to pursue. I think the look of resignation and regret are what we see most in that famous cover photo. "What have I done? There will be no glory for the South after all. We are hated for what we've done and I will be known as a murderer, not a hero." His efforts to save Mrs. Surratt's life to the very end was his last act of compassion (I am personally still on the fence about her complicity with the assassination, although I believe she had knowledge of the kidnapping plot).A great read, especially if you are a Lincoln assassination history buff. Just finished this most remarkable book, and could not recommend it more. I'd give it six stars if I could. I love reading history books, especially those about lesser known events or individuals. Lewis Powell was such a man, his crime of infamy overshadowed by Superstar of the day John Wilkes Booth. That's a shame. Powell was a soldier of the Confederacy, and as such, Lincoln and his Cabinet were absolutely legitimate military targets. The Civil War was, after all, not officially over on the night of the assassination, and would not be for some time to come, and Lincoln was the Commander-in-Chief of the Union armies. All involved, with the exception of John Surrat, paid the ultimate price for their activities, but cannot be considered criminals in any conventional sense of the word. Kudos to the author for a splendidly well-written book. Any such work that can send me to Wikepedia and Google Maps about ten times per chapter is noteworthy indeed. My highest praise, and a charge to go forth and write more. Whatever the historical subject this talented writer chooses to illuminate, I'll be first in line to buy a copy. Thanks again, Ms. Ownsbey.
