Bel Air: Privately Printed, 1925. First printing, Full cloth, Duodecimo, 59
pages, Black & White photographs. Near Fine.
      In 1878 the author's husband purchased Tudor Hall from Mary Ann
Booth--matriarch of the family, wife of Junius Brutus Booth. Mrs. Mahoney
grew up in the area, and indeed her father and John Wilkes    Booth were
boyhood companions. There are brief sketches of Junius Brutus Booth and
Edwin Booth, and interesting information about the house and its history.
Much of the book concerns John Wilkes Booth and events surrounding the
Lincoln assassination. Includes such chapters as "The Identification of John
Wilkes Booth" (after he was killed in Virginia)," "The Enid Myth" (in which
Booth escapes, committing suicide in 1903 in Oklahoma), and "The search for
Booth at Tudor Hall after the Assassination of Lincoln." MONAGHAN #2796.
Bound in dark green cloth over boards with gilt stamped lettering to upper
board. Mild extremity rubs, slight foxing to endpapers. Hinges sound, no
prior ownership marks.    $150.00
