The Hunt for John Wilkes Booth

Met with outrage instead of support after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln in 1865, John Wilkes Booth fled across the Maryland countryside. With co-conspirator David Herold at his side, Booth eluded capture for nearly two weeks until a detachment of Union soldiers cornered him inside a Virginia tobacco barn. This exciting History Channel documentary provides the details of that historic manhunt. 94 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
