Re: 150 Years Ago Today...the Breech-Loading Princ

I found another article that was more detailed. It most probably was a hoax; the story about him living after the hanging. Somebody was trying to sell a product that revived dead bodies, like Frankenstein. His hanging was the bigest hanging until after the Civil War. Thousands came to watch it. His story was so morbid and horrible that everyone wanted to see him die.
