RE: "The Death of Booth"
Corbett disappeared in 1888 after escaping from the asylum in Topeka. He jumped on a pony and headed for Neodesha Kansas where he met up with an old soldier friend of his named Richard Thatcher. He then disappeared into history and nobody has yet determined how he met his fate. I have searched for the last few years but have come up with nothing conclusive. There is a possibility that he died in the devastating Hinckley Minnesota fire of 1894, but this is speculation.
Corbett did live in a dugout in Cloud County Kansas. There is a monument there erected by the Boy Scouts back in the 1950s. I drove out there a couple of years ago and took some pictures. |
