The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book is a compelling and controversial account of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The author, through years of investigation, seeks to overturn the widely accepted narrative of John Wilkes Booth's death. He claims that Booth, under the assumed name of John St. Helen, lived for years after the assassination, confessing his crime to the author in the 1870s. The narrative weaves together a personal account of the author's relationship with St. Helen, along with historical details of Booth's life and the political climate of the time. The author delves into the motivations behind the assassination, scrutinizing Booth's political allegiances and exploring the controversial role of Andrew Johnson. This book challenges conventional historical understanding and presents a fascinating and thought-provoking alternative perspective on one of America's most significant historical events.
