John Wilkes Booth shot and killed President Abraham Lincoln while Lincoln was attending a play at Ford's Theater, in Washington, D.C.

Booth then fled on horseback across the Navy Yard bridge, into Maryland (Charles County) where he had a broken leg set by Dr. Samuel Mudd.

Booth later was cornered in a barn on a Virginia farm owned by a man named Garrett and when the barn was set on fire, Booth was shot by Union soldier Boston Corbett, who later went insane. Eight other co-conspirators of Booth's were later hanged/imprisoned.
