The Life and Times of John Wilkes Booth

[L Verge]

Well, I have to finish Susan's The First Lady and the Rebel tonight because Bill Edwards's book just arrived at my doorstep. BTW: Susan's book is great! I told her that the only thing that disappointed me was finding out what Emily Todd Helms's husband really looked like. He is quite the Southern gentleman, soldier, leader, and the love of her life, so I had a romantic image of what he looked like. Then I made the mistake of googling his photo. Not as handsome as I expected. However, he was killed at Chickamaugua and Emily never remarried and lived to be 93. Mr. Lincoln would say that "Love is Eternal."
