Thank you Jerry... and I hope you have a fantastic Father's Day Sir!!

Brilliantly done! I felt like i was moving through these places and could envision the atmosphere.

Great job Jerry ❤❤❤

This story certainly took a lot of unexpected turns.

Jerry. You are my favorite!!!❤

The historic marker where John Wilkes Booth was killed is in the median on Route 301 in Port Royal Virginia. There is an unauthorized makeshift pullover where you can park,...and walk about 30 yards to see the marker. There is also a sign saying any digging is against the law. Not much to see,..but,..still worthwhile.

I learned a lot on this one, Jerry. Perfectly done and thanks for your time.

Jerry's videos are Top Notch Documentaries. Excellent!

This is the most detail I have ever heard surrounding the story of the final days of John Wilkes Booth. Many questions in my mind were answered. Thank you for going to the trouble to produce this video.

That was really riverting Jerry , love they mystery as always thanks for sharing stories of people we don't hear or read about, one of the reasons I love your documentaries

Dang!!! There is a lot more to Lincoln’s assignation than what I was taught in school

Thanks Jerry, for yet another great documentary, with your brilliant narration and excellent investigation into this very interesting story. It is a shame that the exhumation wasn't allowed as it would have proven finally where he was interred. Take care my friend and all the best. Stevie

Thank you for the work it takes to present this ( all of your) videos. This was so interesting !

Excellent work, Mr. Skinner

thanks for the phantastic informational video, sir. greetings from cologne, germany arthur brehm

I love ❤️ your work Jerry, thank you 🇬🇧

Great video Jerry! The pictures are real good as well! I love American History, thanks very much!

Exhume! Thanks Jerry

Simply the best!

Jerry, once again you have exceeded yourself!!! A fabulous history lesson that I don't think any of us subscribers knew about! That cemetery blocking a family from exhuming and a judge fully preventing them from determining exactly who is buried in their family-owned plot is outrageous, particularly as it involves the history surrounding a very important historical event. Frankly, I believe the family's account. Why would they make that up? They were even told to keep it secret! The family should make another attempt so that history can be properly amended, if necessary. A riveting ride over hill and dale with your wonderful voiceover, Jerry! I hope another episode is coming soon! Cheers, ~Dany

Fabulous! Extremely interesting!

Jerry I love your Commentaries!

Wow! Thanks for sharing this informative video, gives Charley and I a whole new prospective on the town of Guntown, MS We always felt like the whole truth concerning Booth was hidden. You did a fantastic job on this one Jerry. Hope you have a happy and Blessed Father's Day tomorrow! From your hometown friends Charley and Deb.😊👍💜

Good story Jerry. You would think a family has the right to exhume and test without a judge intervening.👍👍👍👍👍

Great documentary. Thanks for sharing.

EXCELLENT video! Job well done, as usual !!!!

Another great documentary Jerry. The mystery goes on and on. We probably will never know the true story. Thank you for all your hard investigative work that you put into these documentary’s. We ALL look forward to them. Your excellent at what you do, please keep em coming. Augie and Jill Blase. Winter Springs, Florida🤠

Fascinating.....I'v always been a bit of a Lincoln history buff. This was all new to me. Great summation of Booth's activity after this heinous deed that altered the very lives we lead today.

Thanks again Jerry for sharing the history

Thank you. I hope you had a wonderful Fathers day.

Thank you sir. Very informative! Peace and roses, Deb the TN Scary Lady

Thanks Jerry I like to here about American history always find it interesting I’m from UK thanks again for taking time to do these interesting story’s.

It's a shame that the family could never put this to rest and settle it once and for all. Thanks Jerry 😊

Another great documentary,i wish someone would make a movie about this

Wow! Never knew 5his! The authorities should approach the family again. Cool story! Thank you... 👍👏

Excellent work , as usual. Thank you.

Dang man, I figured one of us must have died because it's been so long since I've seen a video from you. Glad to see we're still alive!

JERRY SKINNER LIVES...!!!!

Excellent video!!

Great video well done

What a deal.....l am like you Jerry i have read a lot about Booth but who knows....Thanks Jerry for more details about this story..... Shoe🇺🇸

This is just an interesting bit of trivia..., but here goes. Lewis Powell was injured at Gettysburg and served as an orderly at Gettysburg College. Two years later he was one of the conspirators.

Thank you for all your videos, they are very informative.

Amazing! Thank you!

Excellent presentation.

thanks jerr...spot on as usual...i live a mile from greenmount cemetary...never been there but worth looking at all the famous people there...including (evil allen dulles)

I wonder what prompted Mr Skinner to explore this patch of history. Fascinating subject.

Excellent documentary.

Thank you again.

Thank you Jerry👍🏽

I am currently reading Dr Samuel A Mudd and the Lincoln Assassination by John E Hale, Jr who used to be our county’s police chief a long time ago. I live in Upper Marlboro which you can see on your map is very close to Booth’s escape route. I have been to Mudd’s house many times. My husband has distant relatives that married into the Mudd family. I never heard the end of the story after Booth was killed…so that was very interesting.

Thanks Jerry, liked and subbed ,facinating stuff! Max ,Liverpool England

Thank you Mr Booth, you tried to tell them

Well done!

Very interesting documentary. 👍

Hey Jerry! Long time no see! I'm back...and loving it Great video as always. Hope you are doing well.🙂

It’s my opinion that Abraham Lincoln is one of the most interesting and intelligent men in history and my hero (I can recite the Gettysburg Address from memory and I’m Canadian). If I were offered the chance to have a conversation with anyone in history, absolutely, I would choose Lincoln. I have heard/read so many rumors regarding who was actually shot in that tobacco barn, witnesses to the Booth autopsy on the Montauk that claim the body wasn’t Booth’s that I wish they would just do the DNA test. Thank you for another fascinating video Mr. Skinner. I have watched every video you have posted and always anxiously await each new post. I realize that may seem trivial but as an ER physician I have very little free time but alway manage to watch your videos as soon as I can. If you keep making videos I’ll keep watching! Sincerely, JB Henderson MD PS., it’s my opinion that Lincoln saved the vision of your founding fathers, the United States and democracy. Without Lincoln the entire world would be very different today and many countries such as Canada, Great Britain, France….(the list goes on ) would not enjoy the freedom and liberty that so many people ignorantly take for granted. Take care and God bless.

I love watching your videos!! Happy Father's Day to ya!!

Thank you Jerry

A couple of corrections: 1. Ned Spangler was not part of the assassination conspiracy and was not hung. He was convicted of aiding Booth's escape and sentenced to six years. 2. When Booth fled Ford's theater he first proceeded to the Surratt Tavern in what is now Clinton MD, about 9 miles south of DC.

The grave marker showen several timer is not his headstone. It is the footstone for another family member. I believe his sister if I remember correctly. Her name is on the side of her stone facing the walkway next to the family plot.

Thanks Jerry :)

Good video

A little mixed up about the tavern at 5:00. The pictures are of the DC house. They stopped at a tavern much out of town that looks much different.

Very likely Booth was in early with the top Southern Defenders who likely protected him by providing anonymity for events of the decade ahead.. an example evidenced by his pre war attendance at the 1859 hanging of John Brown-a few miles from Harper’s Ferry in a field outside of Charles Town West Virginia - amongst the attendees was VMI math professor & the soon to be legend Stonewall Jackson and “others”. What I did not know - which Jerry surprised us with in the end.. the final cover offered Booth as “ Unc” ( uncle ) courtesy of none other than Nathan Bedford Forrest! Wow. Jerry- I know you know, thank you immensely for following the trail & bringing us the rest of the story! I hope all do their homework & realize someday- the hero’s who tried to save the Founders intent of a United States when a regional Republican Party came out of no where ..threw our Constitution out the window & federalized the government. Bless You Sir! I’d love it if you could bring your audience the true story of President Jefferson Davis’ final days of freedom following the collapse of Richmond ❤..it’s a story barely known

Jerry, thanks for sharing this history. There's a possibility that I am related to JWB, although I have not been able to confirm or disprove. Any family that would know or have any info have passed away. The timeline does lend itself to the possibility?

Next one should be David Bowie please

Had no idea the length or duration of JWB's journey after the assassination. I recall reading Booth's last words after requesting someone lift his hands to see them and uttering "Useless! Useless".

John wilkes booth for president!

Jerry always does such a good job! I've watched nearly all of your videos! Keep up the good work!

Get out there 2 o'clock in the morning with a big old drill. It's not as far down as you think. 6 feet from the bottom of the coffin to the top of the dirt. So that means you only gotta go down 4 feet. Do you want me to do it?

Booth family should appeal that judge's decision. They have the right to know if their family member is buried there or not. It's their plot.

at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

A female friend of mine is a descendant of John Wilkes Booth.

It was such a tragedy!

Maybe the family should try again. The court might uphold the exhumation now. O my this is something that I would sure like to know. Maybe they could try to exhume the one buried in Mississippi? That would at least answer if he was there. Or not there. Thank you Mr. Skinner for this amazing mystery. Do keep us posted. Just in case.

Wasn't that Front Royal Va?

Happy Father's Day all y'all dads out there. God Bless John Wilkes Booth!

It was reported in Harper's Weekly that as the body of J.W. Booth passed under the bridge on a barge, the crowd looking down from the bridge shouted "that's not him!" (At the time, John Wilkes Booth was as popular as Elvis Presley) Would a mustache make that much difference?

❤👍👍

Yes yes yes

Great video but you were mistaken about Ned Spangler. He wasn't hanged. He was sent to prison and later pardoned. He died of tuberculosis in Virginia in 1875.

Excellent video as usual. Which is your official personnal e-mail to contact?

JW BOYD in Booths grave? I have a crazy theory as to why.

I wonder why the cemetery and the judge refused the exhumation

Maybe

Beverly MA

Is the actor Powers Boothe related to JWB? Powers has already passed away. Hes been in sooooo many movies, big and small. Really was a great actor. I find it revealing that they both obviously share the same lst name and pretty much anyone named "BOOTHE" is an actor. And Boothe is not a common last name. Just curious if anyone knew because ive done a little research but cant find anything.

I wish someone had taken care of Lincoln a lot sooner. He was an evil tyrant.

That's freaking wild the judge wouldn't let the family exhume JWB, I mean, why not? Unless the "official" story isn't the right one, hmmm...

The Baltimore Courts and Green Mount Cemetery opposition to the confirmation of the identity of the buried person, as J W Booth, is simply wrong -- period.

The broken leg must have been proof of who it was right?

The us gvmt is and has always been thorough. They killed booth just like the story goes. If not they never would have stopped looking

It's a bit like billy the kid as it's thought Garret never shot billy but someone else and billy was bushy bill Roberts

It's my belief he made it to France and died there at the age 69

Well died in the barn or elsewhere, he's somewhere. They should have allowed exhumation and a DNA test.

Excellent video. Have a Happy Father's day Sir.

You ole hound dog

Klaus Kinski

I don't care where JWB is buried. What I care is where Daniel Boone is really buried. Kentucky or Ohio. I'm hoping Kentucky
