The Life and Times of John Wilkes Booth

[L Verge]

Switching back to the new book by William Edwards on The Life and Times of John Wilkes Booth: I was a bit surprised when I opened it last night and found that it is not a "text" in the pure sense. He has chosen a chronological timeline of every possible movement and activity of JWB from the time of conception (lol)! To me, it is a less appealing version of Art Loux's exhaustive study John Wilkes Booth Day by Day. I may feel differently once I actually "digest" it. Bill does promise new insights, etc., so we'll see...
