Far East Cynic

Road trip

Three cities, three days. Evenings spent traversing between them.

On the way to one of them today, went past the spot where John Wilkes Booth died. The Garrett farm house is now gone-and its location in the middle of a median. There was room enough to stop though-so I did and walked the trail back to the spot. Where I found a small stone marker, that said:

Share you peace with the soul of John Wilkes Booth. The twenty first confederate legion.

And who are they exactly?

BTW, the History Channel has an excellent documentary about the assasination of Lincoln and Booths two weeks on the run in Northern Virgina. If you get to see it-its worth the time.

Wish I had remembered to bring my camera.
