Detail of an 1855 engraving of New York City's business district. This area was the target of the 1864 rebel arson plot. One of the city's foremost tourist attractions, Barnum's American Museum, wasn't part of the plan but became a target of opportunity for Robert Cobb Kennedy. "I know that I am to be hung for setting fire to Barnum's Museum, but the fact is that that affair was simply a reckless joke," Kennedy said. "There was no fiendishness about it. The Museum was set on fire by merest accident, after I had been drinking, and just for the fun of the scare." LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
