Jordan, your commentary enabled us not only to understand how the assassination and the aftermath played out, it also brought those events vividly to life. By the time you reached the room where Lincoln died - it seemed as if it only happened yesterday. Amazing broadcast! Truly appreciated.
Jordan, what I love about your commentaries over the past couple years is your gift for making people think they've transcended time and are actually there, whether it's Hollywood or some other American site. Keep up the great work!
I took this tour 32 years ago. I had forgotten many of the details. Thank you for bringing this back to life for me. Very interesting coverage as usual, Jordan!
You are very welcome!
It's amazing how History can still be at your finger tips.. Bless you Jordan taking us along for the ride...
You've got a really cool gig going on,it's a life some dream of,to be able to travel and see things up close and personal...
Safe travels
I took a boat to the island/military prison (the dry torgugas) off the coast of key west where the doctor was sent for treating Booth after he broke his leg. Even though the doctor didn’t know how Booth had hurt his leg and was just doing his job, the doctor was still tried and convicted of treason. Crazy time in history!
If you’re referring to Dr. Samuel Mudd, he knew exactly who he was treating, he was familiar with John Wilkes Booth and supported his cause. The reality was, he should have also probably received a death sentence.
@tdecker2937 I read that he knew him, but didn't know he killed the President for a couple of days. That's when he made him leave.
Hi, I grew up right outside Washington dc and went here on a field trip in school and still go there every now and then. I still live here about 10 miles from Ford's Theater. We also took a walk through the house across the street where he was taken (house is still there) and it has items in it that are original/ still there through the years,,, hair brush mirrors some furniture etc,,,.
Thank you so much for this video of Lincoln in Washington D.C. I have admired all your videos! Great job!
Visited Fords theater years ago and glad to see many of the items are still there. The door to the presidents box fascinated me. You did a good job
I have been fortunate to visit the theatre many times. I’m so glad you are able to finally view the theater yourself. A very important event in our history and you presented this location with great knowledge. Thank you.
Haven't been there since 1987! While living on the east coast, my sister wanted to take us to Washington D.C. , I really didn't want to go! Government crap is what I saw in my mind. I WAS SO WRONG! Awsome place all about this great country n its awesome peeps! Hope to go bk someday. Great job Jordon!
I went to Ford’s Theater in 1999 and back then they let you walk up to see the balcony behind plexiglass or ropes (can’t quite remember). Essentially you were looking at their seats from behind giving you the perspective Booth would’ve had.
Also, the pillow was still at the Petersen house in a glass case on top of the bed where Lincoln died.
Same here (1995). I remember that too about the pillow and Booth's viewpoint.
I went on a 7th grade field trip back in 96 and yeah I remember that about Lincoln's balcony, you could see in it from the doorway and I'm pretty sure it was blocked off with velvet rope but I could be wrong, it has been 28 years lol
🙌 I’m so excited, I’m going to leave my tablet running while I go and watch this on the big screen. Being Australian I can’t go to these places in person, so thank you so much Jordan.
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. I love ❤️ Abe, and I have a lot of Abe memorabilia.
I think he was such an amazingly accomplished man for his time. ❤Jodie 🇦🇺
As an Australian Jordon, I appreciate the long history of your wonderful country.
Again, a great episode.
Kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks again for sharing Jordan and Jah, the history
Great work. I enjoyed this. Thank you. I will have to visit next time I visit the city. You have the best presentation voice on YT
Thanks Jordan. It’s amazing all the artifacts on display. Gives me chill bumps. Your narration is AAA+++.
That was really great!! Thanks so much for the tour! Awesome 🎩
Started watch his channel years ago when he did classic Hollywood. Sure miss those streams
After Booth jumped down to the stage after shooting Lincoln, he uttered "Sic Semper Tyrannus" the Virginia State motto. Thus always to Tyrants. Booth viewed Lincoln as a Tyrant. Booth thought killing Lincoln would rally the Confederate cause and lead the South to victory, but everyone turned on Booth afterwards. Even his southern friends.
Excellent video Jordan. I think people used to say "your name is mud" because of Dr. Mudd.
So fascinating!! I visited the Ford theater, years ago, for a play, Jesus Christ SuperStar!! Enjoyed the tour and detailed history! I would like to go back and visit again.
Thank you Jordan. I've always wanted to tour this but was never able too. Great history. I learned more than I knew.
This was awesome! Take care and safe travels ♥️miss your music intro!
Jordan have you saw the old 1950s game show episode of I've got a secret that had the old gentleman on it that was in the threatre the night it happened? It's on CZcams if you haven't saw it.
Another excellent commentary. I've never been to Ford's Theater.
However, your tour was the next best thing to being there. Thank you, Jordan
I was there many years ago, back when President Reagan was in office, and when we went there Fords theater was closed so President Reagan could be there, so we only got to go to the boarding house and tour it. Thanks Jordan for doing the theater tour so I could see it.
I'm reading a book about this right now called "Manhunt". Thanks, Jordan.
I was there on a 7th grade field trip back in April of 96! In the same order too! Lol the theater then the museum and then finally The boarding House and room where Lincoln died. It was like a weird flashback back to 96 and 13 y/o me lol but back then they had Lincoln's actual blood stained overcoat on display down there. That was crazy to see!!
I read a book about John wilkes booth and I also read a book about Abraham Lincoln I get books by mail from the napa county library beautiful ford's theater and nice museum I would love to see it good vlog jordan
Great video.. places most people can’t or won’t be able to visit and you are able to bring it to our devices to view.. thanks! Love watching your stuff bro
Great video, Jordan. An excellent book to read is Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly. It draws you into the story, almost like a play by play, you can picture it all in your mind. Lincolns theatre chair is on display at The Henry Ford Museum in Detroit. ( also a fantastic museum, they have presidents' cars)
Thank u Jordan, what a wonderful video. It was like personally taking the tour which I have always wanted to do.
@My Old Pal "Jordan The Lion"-@14:32-14:33...The very best part of every single one of your videos...watching you capture certain scenes, then hearing the absolute awe and quiet, breathless excitement in your voice, like a little kid in front of the tree on Christmas, when revealing to your viewers the most iconic parts of every videos...the "AH's", the "WOW's"...making us feel as if we're there too, following just behind you, eagerly anticipating the next event! I'm an elderly, lonely old grandma, all by myself now, but watching you and your videos really do makes me feel like I'm truly "one of your ol' pals", experiencing everything that you are, right in that moment. Thank you, Jordan, from the bottom of my heart, for each and every one of your videos, granting me the opportunity to still learn about, and to see all of the incredible things I'd never otherwise get a chance to see in this life before I die...you really are "the best"!!
That was amazing such rich history. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video !!
Interesting items as always great job Jordan must have been quite the experience touring
A woman in my town's early history was at the theater when Lincoln was shot. There's articles throughout the years of her retelling the story up until her death. It scarred her for life.
I went there in 2018 it still seems so surreal sitting in such a historical place it also felt surreal seeing the chair lincoln was shot in
Thanks I never know anything like this about him I just learned some history I enjoyed watching
Thank you Jordan for all you do!!!!
You did a very good job with this video, thank you Jordan 👍🏻😉
Amazing video!!!! Thanks Jordon!!!!!
Went to DC in 1999. Visitied Ford's Theater, but did not go up in the presidential box; in the picture my mom took, you can see the terrified look on my face.
Did not know they still use the theater as an operating business.
Also just learned this year rhat April 15, 1865 was Good Friday - why on earth was a joyful activity even an option on that particular night?!
Oh Honest Abe, this would be so Surreal to see all that and take it in. Truly loved seeing this Video. Tha ks for this one.
nice vid, thanks for sharing !
Ford's Theatre is an amazing place. Been there a few years back. Got chills just thinking of the history that was in that building. Glad to be able to see it again via your video. Thanks for sharing.
WOW...Thank you, Jordan. I really thought that I knew most of the details regarding Lincoln's assassination, but I learned many new datils from this vlog. Plus, getting to view all of those artifacts made it even more enjoyable.
My daughter and I were there a few weeks ago, on April 14, the anniversary of the assassination. Everything was so interesting to see.
Major Rathbone - Who attended the play with Lincoln with his fiance - Clara Harris - Killed her and spent the remainder of his life in an insane asylum - Dying in 1911 - 46 yrs after the assassination . . .
Very fascinating! Thanks Jordan!
Hi! GREAT video! I enjoy all of your stuff...
Thank You!
I loved the tour of Ford's theatre and the Peterson house across the street where he died. I remember his death bed being so small and Lincoln was a tall man. Back in the day you were allowed to go through the first door but not through the 2nd door, but you could look into the President's box where he was sitting.
Great video Jordan
Awesome video! At one time,if I’m not mistaken,the actual pillow and pillow case that Lincoln laid on was encased on the bed. From your video,it looks like it’s not that way anymore
I have taken that tour a couple times in my past, and it is amazing to see! It really brings history to life!!!
Thank you for this interesting video and commentary. The actual bed that Lincoln died in is at the Chicago History Museum.
This is so sad. I can just hear the chaos. People screaming, crying and the frenzy as they tried to get President Lincoln to safety. It was already too late. This was just words in the history books, but you really brought it to life. Thanks Jordan.
This was beautifully done Jordan. So emotional to see in such detail where he was shot & died. I love the statue of him reading. The story behind this event is fascinating. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into this very sad & complex day in our nation's history. Really makes you wonder what the country would of been like if he had lived. Thank you Jordan 🇺🇸
Very interesting, thank you very much !
Beautiful Job on this one Jordan. I use to live in Maryland between Washington, D.C. and Surratsville where the Bording house was. Where Booth hid out. So much Amazing History in that area. WELL DONE ! 😊
Thank you! Wow…. This was absolutely AMAZING to watch! How incredible to stand in history. I appreciate your work. ❤
Thank you!
Thanks Jordan!!! We are from Houston Texas
- Temporary in Morelia México ❤ love your videos ❤
Thank you Jordan for explaining the assassination to us. It feels so strange to think that we can go back that far in life and still learn from that history.
hey jordan..... thanks again for another great video....
Jordan. Great story of Lincoln’s Assassination. I love when you teach us history. Thank you
A great man cut down from behind. I visited the states a couple of weeks ago taking in Washington DC and viewed the theatre and Lincoln monument. Really interesting commentary, thanks Jordan.
Very interesting video. I didn't know the gun that killed Lincoln was on display anywhere. Busy tour. Thank for taking us on this tour. Take care.
There were groups of kids touring all day long.. pretty busy place the two hours I was there
Such energy everywhere
Thanks for the history lesson. I so enjoyed this. Fantastic job. I always love Lincoln History. I cried when i saw the pillow. Thank you so much
thank you Jordan always wanted to see this in person
This is one of the best videos you’ve ever posted Jordan nice work of art bro .
I saw a video about this last night from a park ranger giving a tour of the house who went into more detail and i didn't know but the bed is a replica of what the bed looked like back then.
I've been to his house a couple of times, his gravesite (HUGE), and the Presidential Library and Museum. This was quite fascinating and educational. He was one of the greats!
You always go to the great places and educate us/ Thank You
That is my hometown. You should also do the Surratt’s Tavern in Clinton, Maryland and Dr. Mudds Home in Waldorf, Md then go into Virginia to see where Booth was killed at.
Thanks. Be careful around WA D.C.. Just a few blocks away from the White House is the ghetto. Nearby Georgetown is safe.
Jordan, so the story I heard was that General Grant and his wife Julia were to be guests of the Lincoln’s. But Julia Grant was not fond of Mary Todd Lincoln so she and General Grant turned down the invitation. But they say if Grant had of attended he would have had his body guard with him and chances were slim that John Wilkes Booth would have been able to carry out the assassination. I guess moral of the story is people (MTL) should have been nice and easy to get along with and people wouldn’t try to avoid you. Anyway thanks for all your content, I truly enjoy watching your videos 😊
I was there once and it was an interesting place to learn history.
Thanks Jordan.
I am glad they kept all these items so we can still see them today❤
I have to admit this is very interesting.History to me never gets old.It's always something behind it all the time.And falls the Lincoln assassination.Plot and all is concerned you should check out.The movie called the Lincoln conspiracy star and Bradford dealman.That is one superb great movie and I recommend every history fan to watch that
I loved my trip to Ford's Theater as a senior in high school. This is my 40 year reunion, so it's been 40 years in June that I went. Where does the time go??? 😂😂😂
Thanks Jordan been long time seen I seen it
There is an excellent episode of The Twilight Zone called Back There where a time traveler encounters John Wilkes Booth on the day of the assassination.
Great Video!!! Do they just let people beg and hold signs outside the ford theater? What a world we live in...
Jordan i saw an appearance of the last surviving witness to the Lincoln Assasination he was 5 years old i will send it to you
I've been a dozen times, and it is always just as moving, like Dealy Plaza. History has a way of morphing from truth to legend. Mary Lincoln was very maligned as crazy and insane, but Spielberg's "Lincoln" portrayed her as accurately as possible as a woman who was tortured by personal loss. Mary Sarratt may have been railroaded as well, but I would suggest watching Robert Redford's "The Conspirator". Mary Sarratt's Boarding House is on H St. NW, 604 to be precise and it is now Chinese food called "Wok and Roll" More historic irony.
Still rewatching your Mt. Kisco Cemetery, Todd Fischer's camera collection and Harry Nilsson.
I visited Ford Theatre in 1995 with my parents and across the street where he died.
Baptist alley behind the theater is where Booth made his escape, not too many tourists find their way back there
I remember your vlog from years ago that showed Lincolns rocking chair.
I was just there yesterday. I was very bummed to learn that everything in the theater was built in the 1960’s. Recreated to appear as close to what it looked like then. The floor then was dirt and straw. The seats were wicker. After President Lincoln’s assassination they gutted the building and it was used as a 3 story office building to store documents. 22 people died when one of those floors collapsed. I still has the same outside walls. The picture of George Washington is original. If only it could talk.
It was gutted down to just the walls at one point.
Thank for the tour
the actual death bed and other artifacts are in the chicago history museum
Just lookit how far that jump down to the stage was! That by itself is proof that Booth was bat-poop crazy.
Hi Jordan! Are you still near Washington DC? It would be a dream come true to meet you!
Dr. Charles Leale - Who first attended Lincoln - Lived until the 1930's . . .
The original bed he died in is at the Chicago History Museum. They also have Mary Todd Lincoln's blood splattered dress on display. 😢
How long do people get to sit there? Is there a certain number of people in the tour? I enjoy being able to see this through your eyes. I’m not a traveler so your vlogs take me there. Thank you Jordan
The fact that General grant’s wife could not stand Mary Lincoln, is probably the reason why they were spared that horrendous night. They were invited to go with them, but Mrs. Grant detested Mary Lincoln--she was so overbearing and offensive. They made an excuse so they could decline the invite.
Jordan didn’t you do a video that had the actual seat Lincoln was sitting in when he was killed???? A few years ago I think.
It’s at the Ford museum in Detroit. Bout 20 mins from here I live. It’s on full 360 display
