John Wilkes Booth, had escaped Washington DC, after murdering President Lincoln. He was at large for 12 days before he and his co-conspirator, David Herold, were found sleeping in a Tobacco Barn, near Port Royal, VA, about 60 miles from Ford's theater. On April 26, 1865, at about 2am, the Union Calvary found the two in the barn, and surrounded it. Herold, immediately surrendered, and the barn was set on fire. Booth was shot, and dragged from the burning barn, unable to walk. He was paralyzed, and was moved to the front porch of the house belonging to the owner of the tobacco barn. He died at about 7am, the same morning he was shot.
