John Wilkes Booth lived in Baltimore at 4, 5, and 6 East Fayette Street, which was a boarding house managed by his brother, Edwin Booth. This location served as a residence for Booth during his early acting career. The house was situated near the center of the city, providing Booth easy access to theaters and social circles in Baltimore.

John Wilkes Booth (May 10, 1838 - April 26, 1865) passed away at the age of twenty-six .
He lived upstairs of the Garfield furniture store in Enid, Oklahoma.
As an actor, he spent most of his time on the road in major American cities, but could most often be found in Baltimore, Maryland or Washington, DC during the off season.
John Wikes Booth assassinated President Lincoln in hopes of disrupting Union military tactics, as well as eliminating the possibility of the "Lincoln dynasty" in the words of Booth. He was concerned (as were many others) that Lincoln's tight association with the military and his tendency to act without or against the consent of congress may lead to a tyrannical takeover.
He was assassinated in 1865, by John Wilkes Booth, who shot him in the back of the head, with a .44 caliber Derringer, in Ford Theater, during the play Our American Cousin. After that, Booth jumps from the box the President was sitting in and cried the state motto of Virgina, Sic Semper Tyrannis (Thus ever to tyrants). Crawl out from under your rock son, this was yesterday's history 146 years ago.
My substitute teachers, last name is Wilkes. She said she isn't proud that her last name is Wilkes. But, it's who she is. Except that she takes away the e so she spells her name, Wilks.

He did! I believe he got away with the crime and went on to live a long life (a minority opinion). The plot to kidnap Lincoln on the 14th fell apart that afternoon. At about 5pm, Booth was talked into killing Lincoln. Booth did not die at the Garrett farm and Booth's life long friend, John Stevenson, tells what happened. People were ready and in place to help with the kidnapping of Lincoln. Booth had planned that Captain Scott and his ship would take Lincoln away. Now, Booth intended to use that ship for his escape. After killing Lincoln and crossing the Navy Yard Bridge, he galloped toward the ship. His horse tripped and fell in the darkness of night. Booth's horse rolled over on its side with Booth in the saddle. He broke his leg and hurt his back. His plans changed. Booth decided to get treatment for his leg and back. He headed to Dr. Mudd's farm. Dr. Mudd was part of the 'doctors line' helping escaped, hurt, and wounded Confederate soldiers get back to the south. After leaving Dr. Mudd's farm, Booth headed for his farm that was about fifty miles away in the Shenandoah Valley. There Booth's wife would care for him. This was not his plan at the beginning because it could be putting Izola in jeopardy as a co-conspirator in Lincoln's assassination.
This summer, I will visit my cousins who live in Baltimore.
