''Our American Cousin'' is a three-act play written by Tom Taylor in 1869. The play is a comedy that tells the story of an American man named Asa Trenchard, who travels to England to claim an inheritance. Along the way, he meets his English relatives and gets caught up in their romantic entanglements and social dramas. The play is best known for its association with the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, who was watching a performance of the play at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. when he was shot by John Wilkes Booth. Despite its tragic history, ''Our American Cousin'' remains a popular play and is often performed in theaters around the world. The play is known for its witty dialogue, colorful characters, and lighthearted tone. It is a classic example of Victorian-era theater and offers a glimpse into the social norms and customs of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
