Presented here is true villain from mustache history, John Wilkes Booth, murderer of the 16th President if these United States, Abraham Lincoln.
This heretofore unknown image of the assassin was uncovered by the keen eye of Josh Hager while working at Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library at Duke University. Read his entire adventure at the RBMSCL blog, The Devil's Tale.
Brought to my attention by the ever faithful Amy McDonald.

Where has this blog been my whole life? I am glad!
It is fitting that it would be Duke connected to this latest villainous discovery.....shaking fist of Wildcat fury!
The moustache that killed the hat. Not being from America one has a different perspective: No man could stand in the way of a Moustache as magnificent as this, not even a president. I think many other moustaches would have been required to catch and kill this one. Moustache gone wild!
Come, come. This fellow is much older than that twenty-six year-old murderous thespian.
He looks no more like Wilkes Booth than I.
I made some brilliant town halls at roblox
I love your blog! Keep up the great work!!

Congratulations on being a blog of note!! Excellent. If you have a few minutes, please stop by my blogs: Levonne's Pretty Pics and A Camp Host Housewife's Meanderings. Thanks.
This blog is what I love most, great pieces of insanity.
Congratulations on being Blog of Note. My name's Christopher Bassoo and I have been looking into social media, web applications, franchise sales, Google analytic, prevention of fraud and fraudulent emails, etc. Anyway, in my search I came across your blog, and it was a much needed laugh. Also, I quite enjoy your layout -- it goes perfectly with the atmosphere of 19th century mustaches. Very impressive blog, I'll most definitely return to see who the next mustache star is. :D
Again, congrats on being blog of note. Warm regards.
well, it was a joy reading your blog and comments regarding mustaches, its fitting to know how personality become to mustaches and look fiery or nice
you have made me laugh. This is something you should be proud of and probably put on your CV.
I myself am not a fan o facial hair but everyone should experiment at least once. I hate adding my blog to comments but I feel this post of mine may tickle yoour sides.

To me these mustaches are like the ball caps the guys wear today--some sports team, a tractor dealership, NASCAR, and other symbols that celebrate mediocrity--but the mustache had a lot more class!
Cheers! Bruce
i wish i could grow a mustache like that
Definitely sharing this blog with others, also trying to coax my brother into choosing a mustache to grow that looks like one on your page.
Is General Custer soon to come in the Annals of Mustach Villainy?
Will definitely share this blog with other facial hair fans! Trying to convince my brother to try out a style pictured on your blog.

Have you ever noticed how the size of the mustache is inversely correlated to the evilness of the person under it?
Here is the scientific proof:
Hitler = small mustache = very evil
Groucho Marx = big mustache = not so evil
Conclusion: evil stunts mustache growth.
Dear Mustaches of the Nineteenth Century,
WOW! Really interesting. I wish everyone had mustaches this FANTASTIC! I have to admit the 19th century was full of these masculine mustaches. Keep writing GREAT stories, because, your a GREAT writer. Check out my blog at www.sierraschirp.blogspot.com! I write about reviews [I may write about your blog!] recipes, personal thoughts, and more!
PS: You're HILARIOUS with the mustache jokes! :)
Love & Rockets,
Sierra
Hm. I had a mustache similair to that one... I decided to grow it out and braid it.

Just found your blog and I love it! I'm following you. I'm from Paris, France and "La Moustache" is something we love here as well! ;) Just launched a fun blog called "Mandatory Laugh", if you have some time to drop by.
Thank you!
A fine and well-documented sampling indeed! I do have one question: where are your portraits of the femme mustache? Rather like the femmullet I stumbled upon this blog hoping also to view the fantastic facial hair artistry of the gentler sex.

I like it. It's very Mark Twain. Go Booth!
this is not solely about moustaches of the 19th century, but i thought you might find this history interesting:

I never realized how many different styles of mustaches there are. You need to make a post about the porn mustache.

This is a badass idea for a blog!! Nicely done
bahahaha this is a beautiful blog, I'm glad I am following it now!
I don't mean to offend, but was never too fond of facial hair. That is, of course, until I stumbled upon this little slice of heaven. I especially enjoy your witty, eloquently worded commentary on each one!
More Mustaches!
I love it, great blog! This guy is the spitting image of my friend Stephane de Billy, a true schnauzer!
