April 14 - 26, 1865 - Chasing Lincoln's Assasin and Accomplices
April 14 - 26, 1865 Chasing Lincoln's Assassin and Accomplices Washington, D.C. > Southern Maryland > Virginia * No obscure skirmish here! Most will have heard this story, read the book, or seen the movie/miniseries, so the ~15 stops of this glorious driving tour are presented with minimal commentary to speak for themselves. Oh, how I wish all my daytrips could be represented by timelines grafted onto maps. This was a fun day, from top to bottom (Feb. 2025)! Only that cottage defied detection. First, witness the still-preserved Presidential box at Ford's Theatre, where I happened to catch a great performance of Scott Bakula as Lincoln (Winter 2024)! Outside Ford's Theatre And the house directly across the street, where Lincoln actually died. After he shot Lincoln, jumped onto the stage (breaking his leg), and ran, the chase was on...Booth's first stop was just outside D.C., in Maryland. https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=154461 Surr...
