John Wilkes Booth




The Booth family name in the nineteenth century was strongly identified with the American theater scene; there was no greater name among American actors at this time. Junius Brutus Booth, Sr. came to the United States from England in 1821 and established the Booth name upon the American stage. He left his legacy to be carried on by his sons Edwin, John Wilkes, and Junius Brutus, Jr.
