A bizarre conspiracy theory claimed John Wilkes Booth escaped justice that nearly led to his exhumation over a century later.
Francis J. Gorman, the Green Mount cemetery’s attorney, exposes the myth’s roots in fake history and defends the truth with expert evidence and historical insight.
Copies of Confronting Bad History: How a Lost Cause and a Fraudulent Book Sparked the John Wilkes Booth Exhumation Trial are available for purchase after the program (cash only).
