Excerpt from J. Wilkes Booth: An Account of His Sojourn in Southern Maryland After the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, His Passage Across the Potomac, and His Death in VirginiaIn writing this little book, it is my intention to tell the reader of the part I performed in the great war between the States, and my connection with the flight of the criminal whose deed closed the bloodiest chapter in our country's history.No act ever committed has called forth such universal execration as the murder of that great and good man, Abraham Lincoln.To-day I speak of the murdered President as "great and good;" thirty years ago I regarded him only as the enemy of my country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
