If need to write emotional stuff, then I put on something that pulls the heart strings.(less)

The Terrible Lewis Powell

Lewis Thornton Powell was 21 years of age when he was hanged as one of the Lincoln Assassination Conspirators. Even by today's standards he was extremely good looking and mug shot photos of that time are remarkably contemporary.

Lewis seemed to have had a happy childhood that was carefree and enabled him to do all the things a young boy would do, fishing, studying, reading and caring for the sick Read more of this blog post »
