    The End of John Wilkes Booth at the Garrett Farm
    May 13 2024

    🎙️

    In this episode of Talk With History, hosts Scott and Jen dive into the compelling story of John Wilkes Booth's final days, highlighting the Garrett family's significant but often overlooked role.

    The narrative begins with a recount of the day Booth was seen at Ford's Theatre and tracks his movements up to his arrival at the Garrett farm, where he ultimately meets his fate. The podcast sheds light on the sequence of events leading to Booth's capture and death, emphasizing the Garrett family's unintentional involvement and the subsequent impact on their lives.

    The hosts also discuss historical inaccuracies in portrayals of these events, notably in the miniseries Manhunt, and explore broader themes of historical memory and public perception. The episode is enriched by a detailed account of the hosts' visit to Richard B. Garrett's grave, providing a personal and reflective angle on Booth's manhunt and the aftermath for those inadvertently caught in the historical narrative.
