Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln: John Wilkes Booth Memorial and Home; Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources Many times I have wondered how an article came to be written. For anyone who is interested. This is the way this story came into being. Milo Parker was enrolled in one of our advanced classes in Jacksonville, Fla., in the winter of 1949. One evening he paid a tribute to Abraham Lincoln which fairly made my spine tingle. I have often wished that I had requested him to write it out. After the class was over, Milo came up to me and told me that he was the grandson of 'pink Parker who had erected the monument to Booth. Of course, I had heard of it but knew so little about the matter that I began with the help of Milo and his brother Haylow to dig into the whole thing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth: Or the First True Account of Lincoln's Assassination, Containing a Complete Confession by Booth, Many Years After the Crime In the preparation of this book I have neither spared time or money, since I became satisfied that John Wilkes Booth was not killed, as has been sup posed, at the Garrett home in Virginia, on the 26th day of April, 1865, and present this volume of col lated facts, which I submit for the correction of his tory, respecting the assassination of President Abra ham Lincoln, and the death or escape of John Wilkes Booth. Personally, I know nothing of President Lincoln, and knew nothing of John Wilkes Booth until my meeting with John St. Helen, at my home in Texas, in the year 1872. The picture which John St. Helen left with me for the future identification of himself in his true name and personality, was first identified by Gen. D. D. Dana, of Lubec, Maine, as John Wilkes Booth, January 17, 1898. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book American Brutus written by Michael W. Kauffman and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a tale as familiar as our history primers: A deranged actor, John Wilkes Booth, killed Abraham Lincoln in Ford’s Theatre, escaped on foot, and eluded capture for twelve days until he met his fiery end in a Virginia tobacco barn. In the national hysteria that followed, eight others were arrested and tried; four of those were executed, four imprisoned. Therein lie all the classic elements of a great thriller. But the untold tale is even more fascinating. Now, in American Brutus, Michael W. Kauffman, one of the foremost Lincoln assassination authorities, takes familiar history to a deeper level, offering an unprecedented, authoritative account of the Lincoln murder conspiracy. Working from a staggering array of archival sources and new research, Kauffman sheds new light on the background and motives of John Wilkes Booth, the mechanics of his plot to topple the Union government, and the trials and fates of the conspirators. Piece by piece, Kauffman explains and corrects common misperceptions and analyzes the political motivation behind Booth’s plan to unseat Lincoln, in whom the assassin saw a treacherous autocrat, “an American Caesar.” In preparing his study, Kauffman spared no effort getting at the truth: He even lived in Booth’s house, and re-created key parts of Booth’s escape. Thanks to Kauffman’s discoveries, readers will have a new understanding of this defining event in our nation’s history, and they will come to see how public sentiment about Booth at the time of the assassination and ever since has made an accurate account of his actions and motives next to impossible–until now. In nearly 140 years there has been an overwhelming body of literature on the Lincoln assassination, much of it incomplete and oftentimes contradictory. In American Brutus, Kauffman finally makes sense of an incident whose causes and effects reverberate to this day. Provocative, absorbing, utterly cogent, at times controversial, this will become the definitive text on a watershed event in American history.

This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Recollections and Accounts of Eyewitnesses: John Wilkes Booth The following is from the Toronto Leader of April 18 - Lengthy though the reports connected with the assas sination of Mr Lincoln have been, there has not been a word stated, either by way of suggestion or as a matter of fact, as 'to the motive which could have impelled John Wilkes Booth to brace himself to the fearful work of striking down, in the height of his exultation over the victories of the past few months, the President of the United States. Surely something must have been known of the man by the authorities at Washington, where he had spent so much of his life. Was there no' acto'f the Government whose effect could be traced in any way to Booth? The reports hint not a word; but the deficiency is supplied by the Buffalo Courier of yesterday. It says - 'the motives which impelled the assassin to his in fernal work seem to lie chie y on the surface. 'w'e are assured by a gentleman who claims to have positive knowledge on the subj'ett, that Booth is' an own ecusin of the 'rebel Captain Beall, who was executed a few weeks since on Governor's Island.' And it adds Most clearly, we think, the inspiration of the murder came not from the conquered and; prostrate South, but was wrought up in the secret chambers of a mind partially prepared for the evil work by its recklessness, desperate nature, and its bitter hatreds, and finally impelled to the act by the mad promptings of personal revenge.' If this should prove to be true, 'it will be a singular instance of the remarkable agreement of popular apprehension with established fact. Hardly had the news of the'assassina tion'becom'e [known here 'than those' who endeavour to find a cause for the horrible deed had their minds directed to, t'he execution of Captain Beall. This brave man, be fore heldied, declared that his death Would be avenged, and Booth is reported to have uttered the words, 'sic semper tyrannis, ' to have also said, I am avenged, ' or, as some accounts have it, the South is avenged.'

Download or read book My Thoughts Be Bloody written by Nora Titone and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historian Nora Titone takes a fresh look at the strange and startling history of the Booth brothers, answering the question of why one became the nineteenth-century’s brightest, most beloved star, and the other became the most notorious assassin in American history. The scene of John Wilkes Booth shooting Abraham Lincoln in Ford’s Theatre is among the most vivid and indelible images in American history. The literal story of what happened on April 14, 1865, is familiar: Lincoln was killed by John Wilkes Booth, a lunatic enraged by the Union victory and the prospect of black citizenship. Yet who Booth really was—besides a killer—is less well known. The magnitude of his crime has obscured for generations a startling personal story that was integral to his motivation. My Thoughts Be Bloody, a sweeping family saga, revives an extraordinary figure whose name has been missing, until now, from the story of President Lincoln’s death. Edwin Booth, John Wilkes’s older brother by four years, was in his day the biggest star of the American stage. Without an account of Edwin Booth, author Nora Titone argues, the real story of Lincoln’s assassin has never been told. Using an array of private letters, diaries, and reminiscences of the Booth family, Titone has uncovered a hidden history that reveals the reasons why John Wilkes Booth became this country’s most notorious assassin. The details of the conspiracy to kill Lincoln have been well documented elsewhere. My Thoughts Be Bloody tells a new story, one that explains for the first time why Lincoln’s assassin decided to conspire against the president in the first place, and sets that decision in the context of a bitterly divided family—and nation. By the end of this riveting journey, readers will see Abraham Lincoln’s death less as the result of the war between the North and South and more as the climax of a dark struggle between two brothers who never wore the uniform of soldiers, except on stage.

Wilkes Booth, the Assassinator of President Lincoln Still maintaining a taciturn demeanor and strict, unbroken silence, the new member, without replying, intimated that the efforts of those who held him in custody were entirely in vain, and that he would not betray anything that he had learned since he had been in the place, no matter what course of procedure might be adopted with regard to him.
