Edwin Booth (1833-1893) (963 words)
BOOTH, EDWIN [THOMAS] (1833-1893), American actor, was the second son of Junius Brutus Booth, and was born in Belair, Maryland, on the 13th of November 1833.
The three Booth brothers, Junius Brutus (1821-1883), Edwin and John Wilkes (1839-1865), had played together in Julius Caesar in the autumn of the previous year--the performance being memorable both for its own excellence, and for the tragic situation into which two of the principal performers were subsequently hurled by the crime of the third.
Edwin Booth did not reappear on the stage until the 3rd of January 1866, when he played Hamlet at the Winter Garden theatre, the audience showing by unstinted applause their conviction that the glory of the one brother would never be imperilled by the infamy of the other.
Biography and Images of John Wilkes Booth, Assassin of Abraham Lincoln (1137 words)
John Wilkes Booth was the ninth of ten children born to the famous, eccentric, and hard-drinking actor, Junius Booth.
Booth's plans were foiled, however, when the President changed his plans and decided instead to speak to the 140th Indiana Regiment and present a captured flag.
Booth then turned to plan to kidnap the President at a future performance at Ford's Theatre, where the actor had several friends, but the plan failed to win the support of some of his co-conspirators, who dismissed it as infeasible.
