Hello and welcome to Stingray Tom's Florida.
This is a video about Florida's connections to the people who are known as the Lincoln Assassination Conspirators - the people who know John Wilkes Booth and were involved in his killing of Abraham Lincoln. It might be surprising that Florida has any connection, but It does and they're associated with three distinct areas of the state. Enjoy!
Stingray Tom's Florida is a history channel with a focus on Florida's tourism history. I cover many aspects of the stories of Florida's attractions, both old and new and how they impacted the Sunshine State, tourists, the US and even the world!

If Powell were alive today at 21, he would be a model and/or actor. For such a tough, exceptionally big (for his time) dude, he was pretty good-looking, with the age also a poignant consideration to the photographer. Remember, the photog WAS an artist, and he knew exceptional beauty when he saw it - not the typically ruddy faces of that sepia-toned past.

So - I would think it'd all depend where he grew up - if he went to high school in Jasper or Live Oak area, I doubt that modeling would be an option. More likely stick to ranching or end up working in the phosphate industry that's not too far away.

@@StingrayTomsFlorida you nailed it! Those were pretty much the only options for a 21 year old back in the 1860's in North Florida. Mr. Powell was definitely a man way before his time.
