John Wilkes Booth was among the finest actors of his day. He was a vain, self-assured person. He had a magnetic personality and a gift for words. He performed his plays in front of Union solders and Southern solders. He was well connected and was even a guest at Lincoln's second inauguration. Unknown to most Americans, he was a secret agent for the Confederacy. He was the original 007. General Stonewall Jackson said Booth was a weapon deadly as cannon fire.

Answer There is much controversy whether David E George was actually John Wilkes Booth. Autopsy proved that John Booth has a pin in his leg (broken earlier in his life) and also dental records (there are no indications as to where John Wilkes Booth is buried. On the other side of the coin there were just too many similarities and too much David E George knew and many of them believed he was John Wilkes Booth. David E George's body was used in circus' for spectators and the myth would have it that any circus owner that owned the mummified corpse lost everything they owned and those that transported the body had bad luck or even death.
