The Day John Wilkes Booth Was Killed
On this day in 1865 the man who murdered President Abraham Lincoln was cornered by the Union Cavalry and shot to death.
John Wilkes Booth had eluded the long arm of the law for 12 days, but on April 26th he was found in a barn (shed) on the Garrett Farm in Virginia.
The historical marke near the site reads: "On this road two miles south is the Garrett Place. There John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's assassin, was found by Union Cavalry and killed while resisting arrest April 26, 1865."
They tried to run him out with a fire, and in the confusion Booth was shot by Sgt. Thomas "Boston" Corbett. The illustration from Harper's Weekly (thanks toThe Civil War) makes Corbett look pretty thuggish:
Booth died shortly after being shot, and that was that. Just like when Jack Ruby shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald after John F. Kennedy was killed. Everyone's left to wonder just what the hell went on.
The wonderful site Eyewitness To History has an account of the death of John Wilkes Booth, for those who want more details.

Every Last Photo Ever Taken Of Good Old Abe Lincoln
Every known photo of Abraham Lincoln from 1846 until his death in 1865. He was about 37 years old in that first shot, 56 when he died.
My faves are at 0:07, 1:20, and 6:11. Especially the wild hair at 0:07 -- a real frontier boy, there. I like it far better than, say, the combover at 0:19. How did a guy with those looks ever get to be president? We were more broad-minded in those days.
