Joseph Hazelton's Lincoln Assassination

In 1933, almost 70 years after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Joseph Hazelton sat down in front of a microphone and told the story of watching it happen as a program boy at Ford's Theatre. That record disappeared from sight until the mid-2000s, when a record collector found the last copy in existence.
