The first book on Booths ten tumultuous years on the stage, with a
wealth of rare period illustrations reproduced with special
techniques yielding results of better quality than the originals.
The book evaluates his performances through newspaper reviews and
the recorded opinions of his contemporaries; it also separates
Booth the actor from Booth the assassin. Previously unpublished
letters are included, some in facsimile. John Wilkes famous brother
Edwin was not necessarily the leading actor of his era: this book
indicates why John Wilkes Booth might claim that distinction. One
of the appendices is an exhaustive chronology of all his
performances, and all fellow cast members.
