Right or Wrong, God Judge Me: The Writings of John Wilkes Booth Paperback - 2000

by John Wilkes Booth; John Rhodehamel (Editor); Louise Taper (Editor)


From the publisher

Superbly edited and annotated, this collection of the writings of John Wilkes Booth constitutes a major new primary source that contributes to scholarship on Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, and nineteenth-century theater history. The nearly seventy documents--more than half published here for the first time--include love letters written during the summer of 1864, when Booth was conspiring against Lincoln, explicit statements of Booth's political convictions, and the diary he kept during his futile twelve-day flight after the assassination.

First line

The earliest surviving letters of John Wilkes Booth are the eight he wrote to his friend T. William O'Laughlen (1838-1915) in 1854 and 1855.
