anyone familiar with Rev Abram Gillette and the Lincoln Assassinations? Incredible Story!

[ljm14]

I haven't found anyone who has given a lecture but would love to listen if anyone has a link. Gillette was a Baptist minister during the Civil War, matchmaker and biographer of our beloved Adoniram Judson and his third wife Emily. He also was at the hanging of the Lincoln conspirators as counsel to Lewis Powell. It's a fascinating story! Enjoy and let me know if you are familiar.

Not a word about him. Captivating story. As a Baptist pastor and missionary, along with being a civil war reenactor it was especially interesting.

THANK YOU for sharing. I will search for other mention of this man of God.

Forwarded this to my sons (both Baptist pastors) and son-in-law (history professor at university) to see if anyone had ever heard of this fellow.

Received the quotation from Nikolaus Ludwig:

"Work for God. Die forgotten"
