There is this great difference, however,

hunted murderer shot by the precipitate
action of one of his pursuers. Thousands
had risked their lives with Monmouth and

inspired is found the origin OF the myth
that some Englishman died to save Mon

Booth had no such followers before he
made his leap into infamy; very few had
knowledge of his guilty intentions, and his
sole associate in his flight deserted him
when they were brought to bay.
Still such is the popular love of the

of the future may be compelled to demon

animation of dates and documents, that it
really was Wilkes Booth who was shot in
