[Rarebooks] fs: Mad Booths of Maryland

[Back Creek Books]

Greetings All,

For your consideration:
~
(No. 7658 )  Kimmel, Stanley. THE MAD BOOTHS OF MARYLAND.
New York: Dover Publications, Inc., (1969). Second Edition, Wrappers,
Octavo, [iv], 418 pages, black & white photographs, facsimiles. Very good.
      Well researched account of America's foremost dramatic family in the
19th century. Contains a complete biography of Edwin Booth, lots of
information on the other children and Junius Brutus Sr. and Mary Booth, the
family's home at Tudor Hall in Bel Air, Maryland and much more. However the
detail on John Wilkes Booth as an actor, conspirator, and fugitive is what
makes it an essential and oft-cited Lincoln assassination reference to this
day. Originally published in 1940, this edition was updated by Kimmel in
1969 and includes a new foreword and six supplementary articles not in the
original edition. Also added in this edition are 73 more illustrations,
including photographs Kimmel took as he retraced Booth's escape route. The
index has also been revised. Bound in glossy pictorial paper covers with
minor edge wear and a touch of fading to spine.    $75.00
