New books

[Laurie Verge]

I am holding my breath on receiving this one! A friend just tipped me off that there is a new book entitled John Wilkes Booth: Beyond the Grave. The author, W.C. Jameson, is said to be a descendant of the Booth family and relates family stories of Booth's escape, his continuing his acting career, marrying, and having children. Supposedly there are previously unseen papers and diaries to support this.
