The Insane Killer of John Wilkes Booth

We explore the closing days of the Civil War, when the victorious president Abraham Lincoln was struck down by the famous actor John Wilkes Booth. We trace the failed conspiracy that did in the president, the desperate manhunt to find the killer, and the insane man who eventually killed him - Boston Corbett.
