Have you ever wondered what happened to John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865? Well, wonder no more. On May 15, 2022, my photographer, Bob Moldenhauer, and I spent the entire day following in the footsteps of the actor-turned-assassin. Our entire self-guided tour lasted 12 hours and we covered the entire 90-mile journey Booth and accomplice David Herold made during their 12-day attempted escape – from Ford’s Theater to the Garrett Farm site near Port Royal, Virginia.
In the latest episode of our show ‘Hail to the Chief’ at Blue Water Healthy Living, the largest manhunt in American history comes to life. That particular show wasn’t to glorify or honor an assassin – Booth was a murderer. Instead, it was the final chapter in the life and death of Abraham Lincoln, the greatest President this country has ever had.
