His tragic death the next morning was a stunning blow to a country that had just begun to emerge from the dark shadow of a Civil War that had lasted four long years. Instantly and appropriately, Lincoln became an American saint. He gave his last, full measure for his country and was struck down just after completing his goal. Abraham Lincolnâs actions and resolve have earned him the title of our countryâs greatest president.</p> 424<p>But, there is another part of this story. It is the story of a young, misguided actor driven to extremes. It is the story of a group of conspirators who were determined to strike back against a government that was finally taking active steps to uphold the creed that âall men are created equal.â While the actions taken by the Lincoln conspirators were abhorrent, they represent an important part of Abraham Lincolnâs legacy. This blog aims to teach about and discuss those involved in the death of Abraham Lincoln, not because I agree with their actions but because sometimes the darker parts of history can shed the most light on the past.</p> 425<p>Studying the end of Lincolnâs life does not mean one sympathizes with the assassin. John Wilkes Booth was, and will always be, one of the greatest villains in our history. He was a racist, white supremacist coward who shot an unarmed man in the back of the head. Booth is not a man to admire, look up to, or venerate in any way. Yet, he is still a crucial part of Lincolnâs story. By studying, analyzing, and interpreting the actions of John Wilkes Booth and the other conspirators, we can better understand the impact that Lincoln had on the world around him. We cannot truly honor and appreciate Abraham Lincoln without understanding the complexity of his death.</p> 426<p>On this website, you will learn about John Wilkes Booth, Lewis Powell, David Herold, George Atzerodt, Mary Surratt, Dr. Samuel Mudd, Samuel Arnold, Michael OâLaughlen, Edman Spangler, John Surratt, and the countless other people who were involved, in some way, in the story of Abraham Lincolnâs assassination. This website provides image galleries, maps, videos, projects, posts, and pages, demonstrating how the assassination of Lincoln has impacted our world. I hope that this site will be a worthwhile educational resource about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. It is a fascinating chapter of Lincolnâs legacy that deserves to be explored and studied.</p> 427<p><span style="color: #ff0000">Note: This site was formerly called BoothieBarn, and many of the links prior to 2020 still contain that name and watermark.

For many years, I have been fascinated by the events of April 1865. As a child growing up in Illinois, I never understood how anyone could kill Abraham Lincoln, our country’s greatest President. I started doing more serious reading and research on the matter in high school when I was introduced to the Stephen Sondheim musical <a href="http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000136"><em>Assassins</em></a>. Ever since then, I have found that the rabbit hole that is the Lincoln assassination is infinitely deep. There are countless branches to the story, which all provide fascinating insights into the minds of those involved.</p> 432<p>In 2012, I moved from Illinois to the state of Maryland. Being so close to the nation’s capital and the escape route of the assassin gave me the chance to explore my favorite period of history in person. Sharing my visits to the many historical places around me through this blog became one of my favorite activities.</p> 433<p>In 2015, I became one of the guides for the John Wilkes Booth Escape Route Bus Tour organized by the Surratt Society. They provided a narrated 12-hour tour of John Wilkes Booth’s escape from Ford’s Theatre all the way to the site of his death near Port Royal, Virginia. Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic put an end to those tours. In 2025, however, I launched my own business, <a href="https://lincolnassassinationtours.com/">Lincoln Assassination Tours</a>, to resurrect them. I now offer several tours each year, allowing a new generation to experience the manhunt for John Wilkes Booth.</p> 434<p>In 2021, I moved from Maryland to Austin, Texas, where I live with my wife, Jen, and two stepsons. That same year, I earned a Master’s degree in American History from Pace University. While I’m a bit farther from the sites connected to the Lincoln assassination, my interest has not waned. I continue to return to the Maryland region to conduct my scheduled Lincoln Assassination Tours and private individual tours for those who are willing to pay for my travel expenses from Texas to the D.C. area.</p> 435<p>I enjoy giving speeches and presentations about different aspects of the Lincoln assassination story. I have been fortunate enough to present for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, the Lincoln Group of New York, the Surratt House Museum, the Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House Museum, the Booth family home of Tudor Hall, and on live television about the death of Lincoln. I’ve been honored to be acknowledged and have my work cited in numerous books written about the subject over the past decade.

775Thanks for commenting, Dave. I’ve only been to the ALPL&M once but I was very impressed with how family friendly and interactively the museum was able to portray Lincoln and his life. I did get a strange look from one of the docents when I asked if he would mind taking my picture with Booth. He asked, “You sure you want a picture with the bad guy?” which made me chuckle. </p> 776<p>Thanks for reading!</p> 777<p>Dave Taylor</p> 778 779 <div class="reply clearfix"> 780 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=508#respond" data-commentid="508" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-508" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to BoothieBarn" aria-label="Reply to BoothieBarn">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 781 782 </div> 783 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 784 785 <ul class="children"> 786 <li id="li-comment-143283" class="comment byuser comment-author-msmuffler1000 odd alt depth-3"> 787 <div id="comment-143283"> 788 <div class="comment-meta"> 789 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='msmuffler1000's avatar' src='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=32&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=32&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=48&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=64&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=96&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=128&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-32' height='32' width='32' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 790 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-143283" title="Permanent Link">June 11, 2024</a></div> 791 792 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 793 794 </div> 795 796 <div class="comment-body"> 797 <div class="comment-author">msmuffler1000</div> 798 <p class="wp-block-paragraph">i was a Boothie when it def wasnt cool (mid 70s) .

He DID do it for selfish reasons (fame , i must have fame ! ) And that disgusts me . The devious means he used to entrap Atzerodt , and many of his other moves , repel me . I really didnt turn on JWB until maybe American Brutus. He does have a dark and evil fascination though .

844Thanks for commenting Tom and congrats on your ancestor’s run in with history. </p> 845<p>While I find the mummy story fascinating and entertaining, there really is no factual basis behind it being John Wilkes Booth. There are countless pieces of evidence that prove John Wilkes Booth was killed at Garrett’s farm. At his autopsy they went through a detailed identification process noting the same details we use to identify John Does today. They used dental records (Booth’s gold plug) and distinguishing markings (his JWB tattoo) which alone would be enough today to identify a body. Not to mention the number of people, from the soldiers at Garrett’s to those present at his burial, who identified the deceased as Booth. There is no doubt in my mind, Booth died on April 26th, 1865.</p> 846 847 <div class="reply clearfix"> 848 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=850#respond" data-commentid="850" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-850" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to BoothieBarn" aria-label="Reply to BoothieBarn">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 849 850 </div> 851 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 852 853 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 854</ul><!-- .children --> 855</li><!-- #comment-## --> 856 <li id="li-comment-900" class="comment byuser comment-author-cmitchell3571 even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> 857 <div id="comment-900"> 858 <div class="comment-meta"> 859 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='Carolyn Mitchell's avatar' src='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c6fd68ab9b4b141e6d915f6a09c57b9b7171e56b8ab3ed3e2648093f971fb2e8?s=64&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c6fd68ab9b4b141e6d915f6a09c57b9b7171e56b8ab3ed3e2648093f971fb2e8?s=64&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c6fd68ab9b4b141e6d915f6a09c57b9b7171e56b8ab3ed3e2648093f971fb2e8?s=96&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c6fd68ab9b4b141e6d915f6a09c57b9b7171e56b8ab3ed3e2648093f971fb2e8?s=128&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c6fd68ab9b4b141e6d915f6a09c57b9b7171e56b8ab3ed3e2648093f971fb2e8?s=192&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c6fd68ab9b4b141e6d915f6a09c57b9b7171e56b8ab3ed3e2648093f971fb2e8?s=256&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-64' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 860 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-900" title="Permanent Link">November 14, 2012</a></div> 861 862 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 863 864 </div> 865 866 <div class="comment-body"> 867 <div class="comment-author"><a href="http://en.gravatar.com/cmitchell3571" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">cmitchell3571</a></div> 868 <p>The 2015 Lincoln Funeral Coalition: <a href="http://lincolnfuneraltrain.org/2015_event.php" rel="nofollow ugc">http://lincolnfuneraltrain.org/2015_event.php</a></p> 869 870 <div class="reply clearfix"> 871 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=900#respond" data-commentid="900" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-900" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to cmitchell3571" aria-label="Reply to cmitchell3571">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 872 873 </div> 874 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 875 876 <ul class="children"> 877 <li id="li-comment-903" class="comment byuser comment-author-lincolnconspirators bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> 878 <div id="comment-903"> 879 <div class="comment-meta"> 880 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='Dave Taylor's avatar' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=32&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=32&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=48&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=64&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=96&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=128&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-32' height='32' width='32' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 881 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-903" title="Permanent Link">November 15, 2012</a></div> 882 883 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 884 885 </div> 886 887 <div class="comment-body"> 888 <div class="comment-author"><a href="http://boothiebarn.com" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">BoothieBarn</a></div> 889 <p>While I’m not very well versed on the Lincoln funeral train as many others in the community (Roger) are, I’
889m going to recount what could be a factoid that I can’t seem to find a source for. I don’t know where I read it and I’m not sure it’s even true, but it’s something that I find fascinating if it is. I recall reading some source that stated that, before the advent of the television, more people witnessed the passing of Lincoln’s funeral train than any other event in American history. That’s to say that the sight of Lincoln’s funeral train as it passed through and by town and cities, was the most observed object and event in our history. It would not be until images began being transmitted on the television that more people saw one identical thing. To me, this fact, if true, is amazing. It perfectly shows how vital Lincoln was to our country. </p> 890 891 <div class="reply clearfix"> 892 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=903#respond" data-commentid="903" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-903" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to BoothieBarn" aria-label="Reply to BoothieBarn">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 893 894 </div> 895 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 896 897 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 898</ul><!-- .children --> 899</li><!-- #comment-## --> 900 <li id="li-comment-1117" class="comment even thread-even depth-1"> 901 <div id="comment-1117"> 902 <div class="comment-meta"> 903 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='Tim Gilmartin's avatar' src='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/fa4e0a139a8edabe7915ab611301ab6f1d578e8d4108e0be1f5f2808bbf02b09?s=64&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/fa4e0a139a8edabe7915ab611301ab6f1d578e8d4108e0be1f5f2808bbf02b09?s=64&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/fa4e0a139a8edabe7915ab611301ab6f1d578e8d4108e0be1f5f2808bbf02b09?s=96&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/fa4e0a139a8edabe7915ab611301ab6f1d578e8d4108e0be1f5f2808bbf02b09?s=128&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/fa4e0a139a8edabe7915ab611301ab6f1d578e8d4108e0be1f5f2808bbf02b09?s=192&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/fa4e0a139a8edabe7915ab611301ab6f1d578e8d4108e0be1f5f2808bbf02b09?s=256&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-64' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 904 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-1117" title="Permanent Link">December 28, 2012</a></div> 905 906 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 907 908 </div> 909 910 <div class="comment-body"> 911 <div class="comment-author">Tim Gilmartin</div> 912 <p>I’m interested in the USS Montauk connection.

John M. Lloyd actually purchased the cemetery plot in December of 1865. At first, I began to wonder, if he was worried how long he might live after the trial. Unfortunately though, during that time he and his wife lost a small child that died in Piscatawy (sp.?). Since they were at the Surratt House/Tavern up till that point it seems…do you think that after the child’s loss, they finally decided to go back to Washington DC? If my memory is correct, John is buried with two of his small children in the plot…I know for sure at least one….and I am almost positive about the second child, too. Funny thing, from family records, John was a large man, well liked by everyone. I do think THIS is VERY interesting, NO ONE that I have read of contemporary writers have ever really commented on him, other than to say he might have been an alcoholic. Has anyone else ever read much about him? Thanks.

You possibly have a copy of it. I would like to announce that I have re-issued the map and it is now available on Amazon, as well as some historic sites such as Ford’s Theatre and the Surratt House Museum.<br /> 1055The map is thoroughly reworked, more detailed with new information learned in the ten years since the first printing. It was great fun to create but a lot of work.<br /> 1056I would like to mail you a free copy. Can you give me an address to send it to?<br /> 1057Kieran</p> 1058 1059 <div class="reply clearfix"> 1060 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=2778#respond" data-commentid="2778" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-2778" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Kieran McAuliffe" aria-label="Reply to Kieran McAuliffe">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 1061 1062 </div> 1063 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 1064 1065 <ul class="children"> 1066 <li id="li-comment-2779" class="comment byuser comment-author-lincolnconspirators bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> 1067 <div id="comment-2779"> 1068 <div class="comment-meta"> 1069 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='Dave Taylor's avatar' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=32&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=32&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=48&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=64&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=96&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a5255e48c334ff9b4af576709c4d9db4d307a809c4a7b93c9ef5884574c6536b?s=128&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-32' height='32' width='32' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 1070 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-2779" title="Permanent Link">May 20, 2013</a></div> 1071 1072 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 1073 1074 </div> 1075 1076 <div class="comment-body"> 1077 <div class="comment-author"><a href="http://boothiebarn.com" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">BoothieBarn</a></div> 1078 <p>Kieran,</p> 1079<p>I know your name quite well and I do indeed have one of your wonderfully done escape route maps.

I LOVE your blog!! Do you live in Southern Maryland…or in Illinois? You have really spent some great quality time there…for yourself….BUT especially for us who can’t be there to walk the trails! I was pretty young when my grandmother’s funeral service was at St. Ignatius, and so the first time I got to see how exquisite Chapel Point is was this passed weekend. I was also wondering how the Jesuits acquired the Huckleberry property? When we saw it this weekend, we noticed quite a few Hayden names on the mailboxes around there. My grandmother was a Hayden.</p> 1223 1224 <div class="reply clearfix"> 1225 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=5176#respond" data-commentid="5176" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-5176" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to scldrgnfly" aria-label="Reply to scldrgnfly">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 1226 1227 </div> 1228 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 1229 1230 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 1231 <li id="li-comment-5496" class="comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> 1232 <div id="comment-5496"> 1233 <div class="comment-meta"> 1234 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='Katie Rapp's avatar' src='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ea3c23735367b7d8f5677654e228e8138ca7c1b31ce3d309a664ab462707fed8?s=64&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ea3c23735367b7d8f5677654e228e8138ca7c1b31ce3d309a664ab462707fed8?s=64&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ea3c23735367b7d8f5677654e228e8138ca7c1b31ce3d309a664ab462707fed8?s=96&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ea3c23735367b7d8f5677654e228e8138ca7c1b31ce3d309a664ab462707fed8?s=128&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ea3c23735367b7d8f5677654e228e8138ca7c1b31ce3d309a664ab462707fed8?s=192&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/ea3c23735367b7d8f5677654e228e8138ca7c1b31ce3d309a664ab462707fed8?s=256&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-64' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 1235 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-5496" title="Permanent Link">November 13, 2013</a></div> 1236 1237 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 1238 1239 </div> 1240 1241 <div class="comment-body"> 1242 <div class="comment-author">Katie Rapp</div> 1243 <p>Hi Dave, Thanks for your great blog.

I am the Great, Great Grandson of William and Anna Petersen, owners of the house, now the historic site, where Lincoln died. Regretfully, I have not been involved in this site and its development. My parents, Ferdinand Petersen and Julia Rust Thomas did contribute by donation, the pillow cases that Lincoln bled and died on. I was too young at the time to appreciate the significance of these pillow cases and the documentation that was with them. Just as a humorous aside, I once carried these priceless items in my school lunch box for discussion in an elementary school show-and-tell session. They now are properly shown at the house and I am told they have given credit to my family for the donation. I am afraid I cannot contribute to the history in your blog, as I doubt that the stories that were handed down about the Petersens (without authentication,) hold much creditability other than family folklore.<br /> 1488Good luck and much success with your site.</p> 1489<p>James (Jim) Petersen Thomas</p> 1490 1491 <div class="reply clearfix"> 1492 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=10913#respond" data-commentid="10913" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-10913" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to James Petersen Thomas (Jim)" aria-label="Reply to James Petersen Thomas (Jim)">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 1493 1494 </div> 1495 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 1496 1497 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 1498 <li id="li-comment-11230" class="comment even thread-even depth-1"> 1499 <div id="comment-11230"> 1500 <div class="comment-meta"> 1501 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='Kees van den Berg's avatar' src='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/876d45df3d44f1415b6e52572a48d957e98c0c1b739f8

It’s amazing (lots of kudos) what you present to us. I’m not an American, but a Dutchman, living near the Dutch town Rotterdam. Since my youth (I’m 70 now) I have a longstanding interest in the lifes and legacies of your presidents. I got hooked at age12 when my primary school teacher told the story of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Afterwards I began reading juvenile books about Lincoln and at length progressed to adult versions. Now with the world wide web it’s stunning what info you are able to amass. I want to thank you for all the good work you did and do. Thank you for writing and sharing. Please accept my deep appreciation!

1558ot buy into all of the conspiracy theories, I am interested in its history and journeys. I am from Oklahoma and lived for a short time in Enid and had that pleasure of viewing the room where David E. George died. I hope to someday see the mummy firsthand. I currently have copies of the George will and an old article by Penniman. I would be very interested in learning more about the research conducted on the mummy for Life magazine as well as find copies of the original x-rays.

On a future trip, I would love to make an appointment to return to the Chicago History Museum in order to conduct research. As you mention, your institution has a great collection of Lincoln artifacts, particularly from the Charles Gunther collection. </p> 1669<p>Thank you for your kind words about my website.

Miller</div> 1694 <p>Hi Dave,<br /> 1695I happened on your site by coincidence last night as I was looking for the Booth Bay Theatre auction catalog. I have been looking for one to purchase for years tough to find, except in large auction catalog lots!! Wish I had the opportunity to bid on some of the collection when it came up in 1990!! I was pleasantly surprised to find BOOTHIEBARN though and thrilled, I collect all aspects of the Civil war(I’m assuming your the same Dave Taylor who has a website with constant top notch auction items) , it is nice to know their are others like me that can’t absorb enough of the Lincoln assassination especially an interest in the Booth family!!! It’s a wonderful Blog site, that if you are interested in I may have items that I could take photos of and share with other enthusiasts all items have exemplary provenance as I won’t deal with anyone of suspect relics. have a signed cabinet card photo of Harry clay Ford from the Lattimer collection that I am 100% positive was the person that told Booth of Lincolns attendance that night. I also from the Lattimer collection have a rare cdv of Helen Western in male costume and make up,R from the Horse soldier I have a rare cdv of the Aquidneck house in Newport Rhode Island from the time when John Wilkes and Lucy Hale were staying when he found out Richmond fell and hurriedly left Newport. Also I believe I have a one of a kind item from Johnathan Mann and the Bicenntenial Railcup Splitter auction a Bellick cup and saucer from the original service of china that Edwin ordered for the opening of the players club, in pink and gold with Edwins portrait facing Shakespeare in mint condition never seen another piece from the service. I also just got a lot Hopefully ithe Donald Dow collection that includes portrait vignette and full pose cdvs of John Sleeper Clarke and 1/2 portrait cdvs of Jjunius Brutus Jr and Agnes Booth both with autograph signatures that I am going to have acid free matted and framed. Please let me know if you are interested in me jpeging any items to post on site. I’d be happy to do so. Quick question how rare are Junius and Agnes Cdvs and signatures? I havenot come across them anywhere before. I have also searched for Asia’s and Joseph’s cdvs and signatures and have not come across any before. Appreciate your taking time to red and answer my email and especially to have such a wonderful Blog site!!! Hopefully if your interested I can be of help to you as well by adding photos to the site.<br /> 1696Sincerely yours,<br /> 1697Brian</p> 1698 1699 <div class="reply clearfix"> 1700 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=23377#respond" data-commentid="23377" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-23377" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Brian r.

I wish I could own a few of them when the exhibit is over. </p> 1793<p>The Newseum is a tremendous place and I, of course, love that they point out that it was built on the site of the National Hotel where John Wilkes Booth stayed in D.C. Almost as a prelude to the current exhibit, a few years ago the Newseum had a wonderful exhibit on James Swanson’s book, Manhunt: <a href="http://boothiebarn.com/2012/03/07/manhunt-the-exhibit/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://boothiebarn.com/2012/03/07/manhunt-the-exhibit/</a></p> 1794<p>I definitely recommend a visit to the Newseum, especially with the current exhibit of newspapers covering the Lincoln Assassination. </p> 1795<p>

Kudos to you and your staff for the great work you do day in and day out. As I stated before, the New York Herald exhibit is
1841wonderfully done. I even asked in the giftshop if you all were selling an exhibit book about it, but was told you were not.</p> 1842<p>I very much enjoyed your appearance on the Newseum Podcast (<a href="http://www.newseum.org/exhibits/current/president-lincoln-is-dead/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.newseum.org/exhibits/current/president-lincoln-is-dead/</a>) and was happy to hear that the editions of the New York Herald are some of your favorite items in the museum. I also like your copies of the National Police Gazette which feature illustrations regarding Lincoln’s assassination.</p> 1843<p>You’ve definitely motivated me to get to work on my post about the exhibit!</p> 1844<p>Dave</p> 1845 1846 <div class="reply clearfix"> 1847 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=25806#respond" data-commentid="25806" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-25806" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to BoothieBarn" aria-label="Reply to BoothieBarn">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 1848 1849 </div> 1850 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 1851 1852 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 1853</ul><!-- .children --> 1854</li><!-- #comment-## --> 1855 <li id="li-comment-25807" class="comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> 1856 <div id="comment-25807"> 1857 <div class="comment-meta"> 1858 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='Kat Wilmot's avatar' src='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/38c0c5483d57dc83289cb1f062fce1b666ccb332f28dd5e8737cac478045023d?s=64&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/38c0c5483d57dc83289cb1f062fce1b666ccb332f28dd5e8737cac478045023d?s=64&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/38c0c5483d57dc83289cb1f062fce1b666ccb332f28dd5e8737cac478045023d?s=96&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/38c0c5483d57dc83289cb1f062fce1b666ccb332f28dd5e8737cac478045023d?s=128&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/38c0c5483d57dc83289cb1f062fce1b666ccb332f28dd5e8737cac478045023d?s=192&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/38c0c5483d57dc83289cb1f062fce1b666ccb332f28dd5e8737cac478045023d?s=256&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-64' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 1859 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-25807" title="Permanent Link">May 21, 2015</a></div> 1860 1861 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 1862 1863 </div> 1864 1865 <div class="comment-body"> 1866 <div class="comment-author">Kat Wilmot</div> 1867 <p>Please do not feel silly!

Iam fifty seven years old and have studied and meditated on Lincoln’s killing more than I care to remember. Started researching this in 1972, age fourteen. Before computers. The book, Stanley kimmel’s Mad Booths of Maryland. In 2009 I helped work in a play called Lincoln’
1911s Last Hours. I was given permission to direct our Booth, a fellow I chose myself, who’s name was Don Davidson. What can I say? It was a blast! I finally was able to utilise my much study, and Don was good. Someone in the group, a real Lincoln nut, allowed me to view his personel Lincoln collection, which included strands of Abe’s and Mary Todd’s hair. I must admit, Iam rather exhausted from my study now. But this is a fine website. When I was fourteen, after reading Mad Booths, I fell in love with Ned. Yeah, Edwin Booth. My favorite of them all. I will return here from time to time. Thanks for a good site.

According to the account I read, these items were presented in evidence at the trial of the conspirators.</p> 2248<p>Most re-enactments of the assassination and escape I have seen: movies, etc., including your own, have JWB wearing a hat.</p> 2249<p>Was he wearing a hat before, during and after the assassination and during the escape?

Knowing Fords theater as well as he did , He had to know it was a 12 foot drop from Lincolns box to the stage , Why would he shoot the president and go forward to jump to the Stage? Why not got back down the stairway ? He could have been out the front door on his horse and easily gone . Was it his plan to make his exit after shouting his famous words to the audience ? According to eye witnesses there was a minute or so of no reaction ,

To fire an shot, then pass through the narrow hallway and back behind the dress circle seats would probably be impossible without his being apprehended. Being as athletic as he was and choosing a moment when only one actor was on stage, Booth would have a much shorter exit route with far fewer people to encounter. Even so, he came quite close to being apprehended.</p> 2524 2525 <div class="reply clearfix"> 2526 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=33409#respond" data-commentid="33409" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-33409" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Dennis D.

It was a poem we were taught for use in Remotivation classes, “The Beautiful Snow.” I googled it, as I wanted to read it again, and a link came up to your blog and your posting about said poem in 2012. I was fascinated with what your wrote, as we were told the myth about the poem being found on the body of a dead woman on (of) the streets. For obvious reasons, we only ever used the first three verses with our residents. Anyway, I was especially fascinated with the connection of the poem with John Wilkes Booth and I have shared that with my husband, who is a Lincoln enthusiast. (He is a life member of the Surratt Society). Thank you for that bit of info about “The Beautiful Snow” and JWB. I look forward to reading more of your blog. In the meantime I want to google another poem from my past “The Children’s Hour” by Longfellow. If I find a connection between that and JWB, I think I’ll fall off my chair!</p> 2568 2569 <div class="reply clearfix"> 2570 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=38175#respond" data-commentid="38175" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-38175" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Richard Miller" aria-label="Reply to Richard Miller">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 2571 2572 </div> 2573 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 2574 2575 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 2576 <li id="li-comment-38602" class="comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> 2577 <div id="comment-38602"> 2578 <div class="comment-meta"> 2579 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='Lee Reno's avatar' src='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/68e06812849253ca27da701c85fd3f0358c69935b9948d5cddd208f9ff1268e3?s=64&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/68e06812849253ca27da701c85fd3f0358c69935b9948d5cddd208f9ff1268e3?s=64&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/68e06812849253ca27da701c85fd3f0358c69935b9948d5cddd208f9ff1268e3?s=96&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/68e06812849253ca27da701c85fd3f0358c69935b9948d5cddd208f9ff1268e3?s=128&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/68e06812849253ca27da701c85fd3f0358c69935b9948d5cddd208f9ff1268e3?s=192&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/68e06812849253ca27da701c85fd3f0358c69935b9948d5cddd208f9ff1268e3?s=256&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-64' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 2580 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-38602" title="Permanent Link">May 1, 2018</a></div> 2581 2582 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 2583 2584 </div> 2585 2586 <div class="comment-body"> 2587 <div class="comment-author">Lee Reno</div> 2588 <p>Dave: My wife and I recently became aware that John Buckingham lived in the house we own circa 1894.

His sister, Asia, stated that, “John Wilkes was not quick at acquiring knowledge, he had to plod, progress slowly step by step, but that which he once attained he never lost…He had great power of concentration, and he never let go a subject once broached until he had mastered it or proved its barrenness.” When it came to studying the works of Shakespeare, it’s important to remember that Booth had three years of what could be termed an apprenticeship in the theater. From 1857 – 1860, Booth was a member of two different stock companies. He played small roles and spent his time learning the plays and all of the parts. This in-person training was extremely effective. After his first year as a touring star, Booth hit the books again, spending most of the summer of 1861 locked away at a hotel in Bel Air where he pored over plays. It may have taken Booth longer to learn the works of Shakespeare than other actors, but with perseverance he was still able to memorize them and become a star.<br /> 2633If you want to learn more about Booth’s career, I recommend the book John Wilkes Booth: Day by Day by Arthur Loux.<br />

Incredible stuff! Thank you for all your hard work and determination. I have a question Iâm hoping you can answer. I read thru some of the trial transcripts a few years back. I remember reading testimony from someone who was outside fords theater around 9:30pm to 10pm who said they saw booth outside and talking with two other men. He kept asking them what time it was.</p> 2726<p>I have been unable to find the testimony again. Do you know about this and can you tell me where I can find it to read again.

2798Personally, I have a hard time believing Dye’s testimony as it doesn’t fit with what we know and changed pretty often. Dye was called to testify at the trial of John Surratt two years later and placed Surratt among the group. Yet, the evidence that Surratt was in New York on the night of the assassination is pretty ironclad. I agree with assassination author Ed Steers who wrote, “Was Dye lying or simply mistaken about what he saw?

Tanner and his presence at the time of Lincoln’s death. I have a vague memory from a few years ago in which I tired to do the same thing as you – confirm Tanner’s attendance at Lincoln’s death in sources outside of Tanner himself. My memory is that I couldn’t. This isn’t to say that he wasn’t there, only that I haven’t been able to find proof he was there other than his own words. As you note, Tanner was a nobody compared to the other distinguished collection of gentlemen present when Lincoln died and so it could be reasonably argued that no one else made note of him later on. The letter Tanner wrote to his friend Hadley Walch is the earliest evidence (that I know) that places Tanner at Lincoln’s death. But, again, we have to take Tanner at his word. Here is the letter: <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/1836527?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.jstor.org/stable/1836527?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents</a><br /> 2952While it would be nice to have evidence outside of Tanner’s own words, I’m willing to trust Tanner on this.

from the trial transcripts, do you know of any books or substantial articles analyzing the trials, defense strategies, etc.?âI know that Maryâs lawyers got a writ of habeas corpus from the Federal District Court just before her execution (too late), and that there were objections made to the jurisdiction of the military tribunal at the beginning, but I am puzzled why the jurisdictional questions were not brought to the District Court up front for a decision.âThen that decision could have been appealed to the US Supreme Court for a final determination.âCertainly, Reverdy Johnson, being a former US Attorney General, must have thought of this but did not act on it.âThanks for any thoughts you have on this.âFrank Helminski, Paoli, PA</p> 3071 3072 <div class="reply clearfix">

There is no dispute on this. Conflicting information shows he jumped or let himself down over the railing, catching his spur on the Treasury Guards flag and ripping it. This flag, with its tear, is on display at Ford’s Theatre. Booth entered the box through the open Box 8 door at the end of the hallway, The door to Box 7, to the left in the hallway, was closed and immediately behind Lincoln’s rocker making that entry unfeasible. Both doors opened into the hallway. Best information is that Booth passed between Lincoln and Mary, was accosted by Rathbone, then went over the railing. Hope this answers your questions sufficiently.</p> 3141<p>Dennis D.

3162no dispute” on this, Dennis? To be honest, I’ve never been able to definitely prove which portal Booth jumped out of. The eyewitness testimonies aren’t that exact or reliable. My own feeling is that there was not enough space between the slumped over President and Mrs. Lincoln to facilitate an easy escape through the portal of Box 7. It makes more sense to me that Booth jumped out of the portal to Box 8 since only Clara Harris was seated there while Rathbone’s couch was pushed back. I’m happy to be proven wrong, but I don’t think we have a conclusive answer to Rena’s question.</p> 3163 3164 <div class="reply clearfix"> 3165 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=143252#respond" data-commentid="143252" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-143252" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Dave Taylor" aria-label="Reply to Dave Taylor">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 3166 3167 </div> 3168 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 3169 3170 <ul class="children"> 3171 <li id="li-comment-143254" class="comment byuser comment-author-msmuffler1000 odd alt depth-4"> 3172 <div id="comment-143254"> 3173 <div class="comment-meta"> 3174 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='msmuffler1000's avatar' src='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=32&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=32&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=48&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=64&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=96&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=128&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-32' height='32' width='32' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 3175 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-143254" title="Permanent Link">May 15, 2024</a></div> 3176 3177 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 3178 3179 </div> 3180 3181 <div class="comment-body"> 3182 <div class="comment-author">msmuffler1000</div> 3183 <p class="wp-block-paragraph">love this .

3204no dispute” wording I have not been familiar with other questioning of over which box balustrade Booth exited. I’ll grant that my wording may have been premature and hasty. However, I’ve never seen anything in print disputing Box 7 as the exit point. Dave makes an excellent point for which there may be no solution. Along this vein, attached to Dave’s analysis of the path of the bullet through Lincoln’s brain was a link to the medical forensic analysis article. In that article, Figure 2 was an overhead drawing of boxes and the position of people and furniture within them.* I wish the drawing was to scale.* Sadly, it was not. This would have greatly helped in understanding the area in which Booth moved and if a Box 7 exit was feasible. Perhaps some entity can do such a drawing in the future.</p> 3205<p>Rena, I also read the 1955 Jim Bishop book, The Day Lincoln Was Shot, as an elementary school student living in the MD suburbs of DC. This also created in me a lifelong curiosity about the events and personages of this incredible event.</p> 3206<p>Dennis Urban</p> 3207 3208 <div class="reply clearfix"> 3209 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=143255#respond" data-commentid="143255" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-143255" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to chiefden34gmailcom" aria-label="Reply to chiefden34gmailcom">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 3210 3211 </div> 3212 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 3213 3214 <ul class="children"> 3215 <li id="li-comment-143256" class="comment byuser comment-author-msmuffler1000 odd alt depth-6"> 3216 <div id="comment-143256"> 3217 <div class="comment-meta"> 3218 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='msmuffler1000's avatar' src='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=32&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=32&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=48&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=64&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=96&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=128&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-32' height='32' width='32' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 3219 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-143256" title="Permanent Link">May 16, 2024</a></div> 3220 3221 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 3222 3223 </div> 3224 3225 <div class="comment-body"> 3226 <div class="comment-author">msmuffler1000</div> 3227 <p class="wp-block-paragraph">i hear that !! Deeper analysis of what forensic data is available . Plot the angles/trajectories to try and figure his position/movements. I would eat up a deep dive like that. Till then , i have to settle for “doing it in my mind ” . Which pretty much means educated guesses and inferences. To wit : How would it go if “I” were the assassin in that box ? The moment I’d dispatched Lincoln , I would immediately wheel right to counter the threat of Rathbone ; tussle ensues and (i think) at the same time , I’d be frantically straining toward that balustrade and freedom . With this activity in mind , and my DISINCLINATION to wedge through the Lincoln couple (just no room , not an inviting option) I can easily imagine going right for the opening in box 8 (portal 2) . In any event , if i had every detail on the Treasury flag , (where is rip ? Just how was it hanging ? ) that would sure give a big clue about his precise path , imo. Yeah , i’ll zip it now.

I hadnt seen G.A. Townsends take on this question till the other day when i read his Booth book . He gives the same answer : JWB veered right (between Mrs Lincoln and clara harris) and went through the 2nd opening in the box , down to the stage . In putting out a few feelers , looking for this info , I had also emailed Fords theater itself . Got a very nice answer (think the mans name is White ?) ; he discussed the question with a group there and the answer was again , the same. So until someone can prove differently , I will now believe that Booth jumped from the 2nd “portal” in the box . Im so pleased and grateful to get so much great help on this !!

3315I just cannot buy Booth exiting through Box 8. Just does not fit with other accounts and I’ve never read an account suggesting Box 8. I do think Booth went between Mary and Clara but still exited the closest route over Box 7. The rent in the Treasury flag and the heel print and tear in the baize carpet are below Box 7 & are depicted in the photo taken after the fact. I could be incorrect but this is what I believe.</p> 3316 3317 <div class="reply clearfix"> 3318 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=143280#respond" data-commentid="143280" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-143280" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to chiefden34gmailcom" aria-label="Reply to chiefden34gmailcom">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 3319 3320 </div> 3321 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 3322 3323 <ul class="children"> 3324 <li id="li-comment-143282" class="comment byuser comment-author-msmuffler1000 even depth-6"> 3325 <div id="comment-143282"> 3326 <div class="comment-meta"> 3327 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='msmuffler1000's avatar' src='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=32&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=32&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=48&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=64&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=96&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c5fbd57f326adbe49e45e6426579ad69010a61dd5c424be80eb1a5e83cfba48e?s=128&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-32' height='32' width='32' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 3328 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-143282" title="Permanent Link">June 11, 2024</a></div> 3329 3330 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 3331 3332 </div> 3333 3334 <div class="comment-body"> 3335 <div class="comment-author">msmuffler1000</div> 3336 <p class="wp-block-paragraph">I can buy that too.

3359I just cannot buy Booth exiting through Box 8. While I respect others opinions, I still look at the tear in the carpet and heel print below Box 7 as shown in the after the fact photo as definitive. I believe JWB went between Mary & Clara when he encountered Major Rathbone. Based on where he engaged Rathbone, the longer route may have been to the Box 8 railing.

Accounts differ as to whether he vaulted over the railing or let himself down. In any event, he caught his spur on the Treasury Guards flag and somewhat fell to the stage. Best information is that he passed to the right of the rocker and between Lincoln and Mary. Booth entered through the open door to Box 8 at the end of the short hallway. Door to Box 7 (left of hallway) was closed and directly behind Lincoln making entry difficult through that door. </p> 3411<p>Dennis Urban</p> 3412 3413 <div class="reply clearfix"> 3414 <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/about/?replytocom=143250#respond" data-commentid="143250" data-postid="2" data-belowelement="comment-143250" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to chiefden34gmailcom" aria-label="Reply to chiefden34gmailcom">Reply</a> </div><!-- .reply --> 3415 3416 </div> 3417 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 3418 3419 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 3420 <li class="post pingback"> 3421 <p>Pingback: <a href="https://lincolnconspirators.com/2024/12/18/welcome-to-lincolnconspirators-com/" class="url" rel="ugc">Welcome to LincolnConspirators.com | LincolnConspirators.com</a></p> 3422 </li><!-- #comment-## --> 3423 <li id="li-comment-143796" class="comment even thread-even depth-1"> 3424 <div id="comment-143796"> 3425 <div class="comment-meta"> 3426 <img referrerpolicy="no-referrer" alt='Keith Bringe's avatar' src='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/2f83ba8878ea47ba472db027261f265b174872978935ccf3374e7f45abafed7d?s=64&d=retro&r=G' srcset='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/2f83ba8878ea47ba472db027261f265b174872978935ccf3374e7f45abafed7d?s=64&d=retro&r=G 1x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/2f83ba8878ea47ba472db027261f265b174872978935ccf3374e7f45abafed7d?s=96&d=retro&r=G 1.5x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/2f83ba8878ea47ba472db027261f265b174872978935ccf3374e7f45abafed7d?s=128&d=retro&r=G 2x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/2f83ba8878ea47ba472db027261f265b174872978935ccf3374e7f45abafed7d?s=192&d=retro&r=G 3x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/2f83ba8878ea47ba472db027261f265b174872978935ccf3374e7f45abafed7d?s=256&d=retro&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-64' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> 3427 <div class="comment-date"><a href="#comment-143796" title="Permanent Link">May 2, 2026</a></div> 3428 3429 </div><!-- .comment-author .vcard --> 3430 3431 </div> 3432 3433 <div class="comment-body"> 3434 <div class="comment-author">Keith Bringe</div> 3435 <p>Hi: I think you contacted me about the large format illustration of the assassination (?)<br /> 3436Wanted to make certain you knew I am auctioning the whole collection on Ebay and will post the illustration tomorrow. – Keith</p> 3437<p>The John T Ford â Gresham Collection to Ebay</p> 3438<p>Rare Nest Gallery presents a highly important archive of American and theatrical history spanning 1840-1970.
