Did He Go To Hell Or Texas?

[Kevin_Kennedy]

According to most historical accounts, John Wilkes Booth, Abraham Lincoln’s assassin, perished shortly after being shot inside a burning barn in Virginia nearly 150 years ago. But tales of a man resembling Booth pop up in Glen Rose, Texas, and later in Granbury, starting five years after the April 14, 1865, assassination of the president.

Stories of Booth’s alleged miraculous escape are exhumed every few years to play again in the media. Booth, a Shakespearean actor, probably would have loved the attention.

I don't soubt that many men "resembling" JWB existed then or now.

But the evidence suggests that JWB was killed in that barn in 1865.
