Did John Wilkes Booth ever perform in Detroit?

[LincolnMan]

Using the book that I referenced in one of the earlier posts of this thread (Lust For Life), I see JWB with no engagements in Detroit in 1864. I don't also find where he played in the performance mentioned in the article at all in 1861 or 1864. He did play at New York's Wintergarden for one night in 1864-the night of the terrorist attack, I believe. So, who knows? It's a very interesting article for more on what people thought of him and his acting ability. And it does clain that JWB got really ill while in Detroit-not New York.
