Description

Abraham Lincoln's assassination is one of the most well known events in American history. But what about the man who actually shot the gun? Evan runs us through some of the conspiracies surrounding John Wilkes Booth and whether he was actually killed shortly after the assassination or whether he escaped, leaving another man to cover for him while he absconded to a (probably not so) quiet end to his life. Get your tinfoil hats out folks, it's a fun one!
