Frank Gorman: Confronting Bad History: How a Lost Cause and Fraudulent Book Caused the John Wilkes Booth Exhumation Trial

Was Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth really killed at Garrett Farm or did he escape and get away with murder? When proponents of the escape theory requested the exhumation of John Wilkes Booth’s remains, attorney Frank Gorman represented Green Mount Cemetery at trial. Frank describes the four-day trial, the witnesses, the evidence, the tactics, and the history surrounding the entire conspiracy rumor. It’s an interesting story.
