John Wilkes Booth

Yes, although he was raised as an Episcopalian.

They spent five days hiding in the Zekiah Swamp and then crossed the Potomac and made their way to Garretts farm south of Port Royal, Virginia.

"Useless, Useless"

John Wilkes Booth shot the President, in the State Box, jumped over the opening ledge of the state box, and was aimed to land upon the stage, below. As he was jumping out of the box and onto the stage, Booth caught the spur of his boot on the bunting below the box, which were hung underneath the opening of the box. When the spur of his boot was snagged, this caused him to miss his landing, and his jump, resulted into a fall onto the stage. He then proceeded to flee from the theater, where he had already arranged for a rented horse from the local stable, (a stagehand by the name of Edmund Spangler who Booth had befriended, had been waiting with a horse at around 9:30, at the back of the theater.)

Booth then rode out of Washington DC and met up with fellow conspirator David Herald, in Maryland. They stopped at Lloyd's tavern that was leased from Mary Surratt in Surrattsville, had a drink and headed to Dr. Samuel Mudd's home. Booth needed medical attention for his leg, and the two arrived at Dr. Mudd's home at around 4am.

Dr. Mudd determined that Booth's leg had been broken and made a splint for it, as well as, a pair of crutches for Booth. The two at Dr. Mudd's home for about a day, and then Booth hired a man to lead the two to Samuel Cox's house. Colonel Samuel Cox had harbored sympathies for the confederate cause. Cox led the two to a man named Thomas Jones who led Booth and Herald through the Zekiah Swamp, and eventually across the Potomac River, over approximately a 5-6 day period.

Herald and Booth were in Virginia, and made their way into Port Royal, Virginia. On April 26, 1865, the Union Calvary had followed leads that two men fitting Booth and Herald's description were seen near the Rappahannock River, in Port Royal, Virginia. At approximately 2am, the Calvary eventually made their way to a tobacco farm owned by a Richard Garrett. Herald and Booth were sleeping in the farmer's barn. A Lieutenant detective from the Calvary yelled out to the two to surrender. After a few moments, Booth said he'd never surrender, then a few minutes later, Booth yelled out "Oh, Captain, there's a man in here who wants to surrender awful bad.", and Herald's voice then could be heard saying that he wanted to surrender. Herald came out slowly, and was slammed to the ground by the Calvary, and subsequently tied to a tree.

Still Booth would not come out. Using straw and brush, the cavalry set the barn on fire. Booth was visible to the soldiers because the barn was full of cracks and knotholes.

Sergeant Boston Corbett fired at Booth, hitting him in the neck. Booth was not dead but had been paralyzed. He was then dragged from the burning barn, and the Calvary moved Booth a couple of times, finally placing him on the porch of the farmer's house. Booth died at about 7am, on the same morning, April 26, 1865.

Assuming that, as of 2011, John Wilkes Booth has been dead for 146 years, and assuming it still exists, John Wilkes Booth's dead body is 146 years old - notwithstanding the 26 years he lived.

They weren't. The Garretts believed in the southern cause. Two of their sons had just returned home from the war still wearing their confederate uniforms.

Booth arrived at the Garrrett farm on the afternoon of April 24, 1865. He was invited in and spent the night inside the Garrett home. On the 25th he left and continued on his way.

On the night of April 25, two of Booth's associates came looking for him at the Garrett farm. They were told that Booth left that afternoon. It was late, they were tired and asked to spend the night. They were showed the way to the barn where they could sleep. At about 2 a.m. the next morning, soldiers surrounded the barn. One of Booth's associates was shot. He resembled Booth and he was declared to be Booth. His name was James William Boyd.

John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater, in Washington DC

A couple hundred thousand. If you're bargining with someone who really wants to buy it, the sky's the limit.

Both was born into a family of actors and became an actor himself. His biographies mention no specific formal schooling.

Yes President Lincoln was at the ford theater watching a film when John Wilkes Booth shot him in the back of the head.

John Wilkes Booth was glad to see John Brown hang, but he admired Brown's bravery in facing death stoically

The London flower girl Mary Ann Holmes ran off with Junius Brutus Booth, Sr., in 1821 and with him raised a theatrical family in the United States. Their sons included Edwin, Junius Brutus Jr., and John Wilkes (who assassinated Abraham Lincoln). Whether Junius Brutus, Sr., was Mary Ann's suitor or merely her lover, is unclear.

John Wilkes Booth was an up-and-coming actor in a world where theater was one of the few means of entertainment. He was fairly popular and was considered promising, although he was not considered to be of the same caliber as his brother, Edwin Booth.

Samuel Arnold, Michael O'Laughlin, Lewis Thornton Powell (called Paine), David E. Herold, George Atzerodt, John Surrat, Mary Surrat

John Wilkes Booth had no children, therefore no grandchildren, great grandchildren or other direct descendants.

Booth was shot dead in a firefight with Union cavalry troops in a barn in the Virginia countryside on 26th April 1865, after having been on the run for 10 days. The troops had been specially dispatched to hunt down Abe Lincoln's assassin and bring him to justice, but Booth refused to surrender and preferred to die in a gunfight than be taken alive.

The shot that ended his life was from Seargent Boston Corbett of the United States Cavalry.

None. The Booth family owned slaves while Booth was growing up, but he never own any personally.

He carried out the act itself alone, but was involved with a larger plot to assassinate other high-ranking government officials.

Booth had many suits and it is impossible to tell the colors from black and white photos. However, the suit he was wearing when he assassinated President Lincoln was black.

Because he was cocky and a braggart, and thought he was awesome, also, he was driven crazy with anger. So there's your answer, Brennan. ;-}

I couldn't find the exact answer to this particular question, but I would imagine something related to the food made in Maryland, where he was born. Something like oysters, biscuits, steamed chicken, crab cakes, or peach pot pie.

Booth had hoped he would give the south a reason to restart the civil war. He wrote this in his diary and also felt he would be a hero. None of that happened. In fact, the southern farms/homes he tried to get help from wouldn't help him. He didn't count on them being upset over the death of Lincoln. The entire country was upset over his death and thousands stood for hours to see the train taking his body to Springfield, Ill from Washington DC.

Bel Air Maryland

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. His last act as a secret agent was the killing of Abraham Lincoln. Booth then escaped to Mexico and at a later date move back into the US.

I have been asked to make changes to this answer because it is not accepted history. I have checked each line and there are no corrections needed. It is factual as I know it. The history books are wrong and full of misinformation. You will not find truth in accepted history.
