Otto Eisenschiml (June 16, 1880 – December 7, 1963) was an Austrian-born chemist and executive in the oil industry, and author. He may be best known for his provocative 1937 book on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in which he proposed that a member of Lincoln's Cabinet orchestrated the plot to kill the president. Eisenschiml was well published within the chemical and oil industries, authoring several articles in trade journals and magazines on technical aspects of the business. He became a student of American history, with a particular fascination for the Abraham Lincoln assassination. He began researching the murder in 1928, but was not satisfied with the prevailing account that John Wilkes Booth was the mastermind of the plot. In 1937, his signature work, Why was Lincoln Murdered?, was published. More

Sherman, TX: John Wright, 1994. Limited Edition, Number 47, Signed by John P. Wright III. Hardcover (in leather or leather-like material). 96 pages. This compilation was supported by the Sherman Democrat which gave the citizens of Grayson County the opportunity to preserve old photographs and share their stories with their neighbors. Contains approximately 250 photographs. Grayson County is a county in the U.S. state of Texas. The county seat is Sherman. The county was founded in 1846 and is named after Peter Wagener Grayson, an attorney general of the Republic of Texas. John Wright III worked for 45 years in the newspaper industry with more than 41 combined years in the Texoma market. Wright began his career in the newsroom of the Denison Herald in 1970. He worked his way up in the company, eventually becoming general manger of the Las Vegas Review-Journal before returning to Texoma in 1993. He retired from the Herald Democrat (formerly the Sherman Democrat) in 2016. In 1996, Wright led the merger of the Denison Herald and Sherman Democrat and was named publisher of the newly formed Herald Democrat. The move to merge the two community newspapers improved the efficiency of the papers, and the Herald Democrat continues to serve its two primary markets as well as Grayson County and the surrounding areas of Fannin and Cooke counties and Bryan County in Oklahoma. The merger wasn't the only change Wright saw through his nearly half-century career. There were technology changes, from a presses that used hot lead to create the plates that carried ink to paper to computer pagination used in today's newsrooms. He said it was the ever-changing world of media that drew him to the business. More
