The Legend Of John Wilkes Booth

[maharba]

Some interesting information and claims in that piece. The statement a man may as well die for such and such. Then, that the body resembled 'a negro'. JWBooth had supposedly made considerable in furnishing various medications and painkillers to Southern forces. I think if I were John, I would have furnished myself with some morphine and strong opiate painkillers, just in case I or my allies had been injured and needed. Better that he had gone on 'feeling no pain' and complete an easier escape AND his leg amputated later,
than to be slowed down by the injured leg.
