Ferguson was a young actor at Ford's Theater on the night of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination on April 14, 1865. At just 18 years old, Ferguson was working as a call boy and understudy at the theater. He witnessed John Wilkes Booth shoot President Lincoln during a performance of Our American Cousin. Ferguson later provided a detailed account of the assassination, describing the chaos that ensued in the theater and Booth's dramatic escape.
