Booth's Finances
Has anyone done a detailed analysis of John Wilkes Booth's finances, i.e., what he earned, what he spent, his bank accounts, etc.? I have seen passing references in Come Retribution and other books, but not a full analysis, including what he may have paid for his co-conspirators living expenses, etc., in late 1864 and early 1865. Art Loux's book will likely shed some light on this area by virtue of accounting for Booth's activities. In the meantime, I am curious as to whether anyone has crunched the numbers to account for the total cost of the conspiracy and compared it to the Booth's financial resources.
