The Legend Of John Wilkes Booth

[maharba]

John St. Helen knew personal details of actors of the day, appeared to have worked the theater houses, a deep knowledge of stagecraft, could recite Shakespeare better than Lincoln could parrot his Bible verses. A Southerner and very likely served in the Confederacy. If the legend is true then he is John Wilkes Booth. If not, then John St.Helen had some obscure motives and another name entirely. What could such motives have been, and who else could he have been? He should be found in the 1860 and 1870 censuses. Have you ever seen any of the 'mummy traveling exhibit' articles address any of these questions.
