Hanged

Sarah Miller

This account centers on Mary Surratt, who was convicted by a military tribunal of conspiring to kill Abraham Lincoln. Public opinion also held her responsible, while the question of her innocence remains part of the story. Surratt was executed by the United States government on July 7, 1865, making her the first woman it executed. Archival photographs and back matter accompany the examination of her case and its aftermath.
