RE: John Wilkes Booth in York: County's connections to Lincoln's death
This fine rendering of the shooting of Booth imparts aspects of the incident I had been unaware of and opens vistas for new research.
For example, I never realized Boston Corbett was an admiral and shot Booth with a flintlock pistol. I hadn't known that many in the Union cavalry wore derbies, and I hadn't known Booth was preparing to shave with a straight-razor just before Corbett lit him up. Awesome! All kidding aside, it is a wonderful illustration with great charm and even innocence, even it was of a gruesome subject. --Jim Please visit my blog: http://jimsworldandwelcometoit.com/ |
