Description
Excerpt from The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth, or the First True Account of Lincoln''s Assassination: Containing a Complete Confession by Booth Many Years After the Crime; Giving in Full Detail the Plans, Plot and Intrigue of the Conspirators, and the Treachery of Andrew Johnson, Then Vice-President of the United States
In the preparation of this book I have neither spared time or money, since I became satisfied that John Wilkes Booth was not killed, as has been sup posed, at the Garrett home in Virginia, on the 26th day of April, 1865, and present this volume of col lated facts, which I submit for the correction of his tory, respecting the assassination of President Abra ham Lincoln, and the death or escape of John Wilkes Booth.
Personally, I know nothing of President Lincoln, and knew nothing of John Wilkes Booth until my meeting with John St. Helen, at my home in Texas, in the year 1872.
The picture which John St. Helen left with me for the future identification of himself in his true name and personality, was first identified by Gen. D. D. Dana, of Lubec, Maine, as John Wilkes Booth, January 17, 1898.
