[QUOTE="perfor8, post: 3314570, member: 10088"] There are plenty of books that present Booth as a hero, but of course that perspective doesn't suit the purposes of public schools, so you won't find them there. You can read Booth's own writings, including his personal journal he kept after shooting Lincoln. He had his reasons. In 1865 J.W. Booth was the equivalent of, say, Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio, in terms of fame (not political views). He knew he was giving up everything - his life, fortune, and sacred honor. A quick eye-opening read is the book "Mr. Booth Went to Washington" (I think that's the title, my copy is out of state at the moment). [/QUOTE]
