stanton questioned them. a union army soldier who knew the kind of shorthand sat at this table with stanton and took the first testimony of witnesses who saw john wilkes booth murder the president. stanton spent most of the night here sending telegrams to army commanders in new york and throughout the northeast to organize the manhunt for john wilkes booth. throughout the night, he sent messengers to the telegraph office and from that office messages were brought back here. this room became the command post for the army of the united states under the secretary of war while lincoln was dying in the back bedroom. stanton was one of lincoln's favorites, he had an iron will. lincoln called him his mars, his god of war. even though they did not get along well before the election, stanton humiliated lincoln at a trial, lincoln knew that he was his right hand. he said stanton was the rocky shore up on which the waves of rebellion crashed and were broken. they were very close. stanton was devastated but threw himself

stanton questions. the union army soldier who knew shorthand sat at this table was stanton and took the first testimony of witnesses who saw john wilkes booth martyr of the president. -- murder the president. stanton spent the night here organizing the manhunt for john wilkes booth. he sent messengers to the telegraph office and from that office messages were brought back here. this room became the command post for the army of the united states under the secretary of war while lincoln was dying in the back room. stenson was one of lincoln's favorites, he had an iran will. lincoln called him his mars, his god of war. even though they did not get along well before the war, lincoln knew that he was his right hand. stanton was the rocky shore on which the rebellion broke. he was barking commands, sending orders to hunt for john wilkes booth on trains. orders went out everywhere. catch the assassin, find him. the manhunt which took 12 days began here before lincoln even died. once word got out that lincoln w

secretary of war stanton will launch the investigation into lincoln's murder.cretary of war stanton is one of the first to arrive at the peterson house along with the secretary of navy. he sets himself in an adjoining room and is essentially the acting president that night, and interviewed witnesses in the early morning hours. telegrams are sent out, anyone resembling booth to be taken in. al qaeda people are also -- all kinds of people are also taken in who have connections to the theater. the theater, as you can see, where literally placed under guard. union soldiers for weeks on end. you have the freight idea of what it looks like for the weeks following. once again stanton puts out the reward notice. a major manhunt, the largest in u.s. history, commences from the peterson house. stanton is actually in the room at 7:22t in the morning when lincoln passes. there was a pastor. i believe james tanner was also in the room. he was the one who said as he was ready very quickly, the tip of his pencil broke, so he was never able to ascertain when lincoln passed in

if there was any man lincoln was justified in carrying a dwruj against, it was stanton. he had a painful snubbing of lincoln when they were supposedly working as a team aiding cyrus mccormick regarding the reaper. while he did not hear him call him, quote, that damn long-armed ape, a phrase of what mcclellan called the president he was insulted. so how did he respond? when he made his first critical wartime appointment, sam ron cameron, he turned to stanton. whatever humiliation stanton had caused lincoln in 1855, lincoln was not one to hold grudges. if you could gain the aid of someone known as a gifted and honest administrator as stanton was, spielberg's film conveys the understanding that today's adversary may be tomorrow's friend who again may be next week's opponent when he worked with thaddeus stevens tommy lee jones. despite knowing the two could not agree on what to do with the confederate states once the war ended. indeed no president, indeed i would say american, ever conveyed this tendency to avoid permanent enemies more consistently than lincoln when after hi

also, you see stanton, who is the secretary of war, giving his official dispatches. and they are recounted in the paper as well. so stanton would go to the war telegraph office and dispense information officially coming from the government. and then the newspapers would report that as well. i can't purport to know precisely what people's reactions were, not being there, but certainly there are report and subsequent editions of frenzy and despair. this was a much beloved figure leader, in parts of this country. and so, there were certainly a bit of worry and mayhem. in addition to that, because of other reports that the secretary of state had been killed when he , was not killed -- he was severely injured. there was uncertainty as to whether this was an attack on this nation from an act of terrorism, a foreign attack, was it some greater plot that was going to result in murder of other individuals in the government? it was unclear, especially just coming off the civil war what exactly this all meant. so, certainly there was this hunger among the citizenry to get as mu

we hear the words of edwin stanton, standing at his bedside as he died.gs to the ages. " and we reflect on lincoln himself who was born in a log cabin in kentucky and rose not only to become president, but even more to become the symbol of america at its best courageous, compassionate, humble and wise. his assassination was one of the tragic and pivotal events in american history. we can only speculate what might have happened had he lived. yet lincoln does live to this day. he lives in what he would call "the better angels of our nature." the man who liberated 4 million enslaved people lives on in every sacrifice women and men of courage make for freedom and justice. the president who steadfastly lead our nation through its greatest crisis lives on in our journey to perfect our nation, a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. abraham lincoln belongs not only belongs to the ages, he belongs to us. thank you.

the official dispatches from stanton, secretary of war. as we keep moving to the day they look to other sources. they look to, i think there are reports from the evening "post" and the "daily chronicle" which are local d.c. papers. where we get reports of the crime scene which is some interesting information that comes out fo of "the chronicle." then we get the notes from the docotrtor at the bedside witch the herald gets from the "washington star." not in a malicious way. maybe not overly collaborative but certainly it was with permission. the report from the chronicle, "the star," so the information is getting out because that is seen as the most critical thing. in the final addition, we get reports of not just mourning, which we know is gooing on, but people celebrating. it was still -- the civil war was over and there were still divisiveness within the nation. and not just among the conspirators and booth. there were others who were apparently happy to see the end of lincoln. there were reports of arrests of people celebrating the deat

edward stanton the secretary of war in effect took over because the secretary of state seward had beenen watching, recognized booth and he and laura keene, the actress in a play recognized john wilkes-booth because booth was such a famous at your. as they say, a celebrity and you think of "people" magazine or whatever he was a really famous guy and even though booth was different looking because his eyes were glaring and he was super excited so he didn't look totally himself but still he was recognized by the actors. therefore by about 2:00 in the morning it was known that john wilkes-booth was the assassin. >> host: the book "lincoln's selected writings" david reynolds who is a professor at the university of new york is joining us from new york city. thank you for adding your perspective to the events from 150 years ago and we will continue to look at the scene outside of ford's state or on tenth street here in washington d.c.. as i said just a few blocks from the white house and their phone lines are open. we want to get your thoughts on this historic evening here on c-span3 american

in the rear parlor of the peterson house secretary of war stanton began his investigation into the eventscitizens from all over the city came to see for themselves if the horrible rumors that they had heard were in fact, true and the confusion and chaos of the nights events panic and fear of a southern conspiracy began to spread misinformation throughout the crowd. the vice president had also been killed. others said that general grant and met the same fate. one rumor came about that the general and confederate troops had taken possession of the city. a thousand and one exciting tales were started and i doubt. the atmosphere of shock and craze, crowds of people fill the frenzy and waiting to seize an opportunity for it it, they began to turn on each other. one man who was thought to have been heard uttering words of support for the assassin was mobbed by the gathering crowd and nearly hanged from a lamp a lamp post before he was rescued by policemen. as the moments as the moments dragged on on that wet and chilly night feelings of anger and fear became feelings of sadness and melancholy.
