Well prepared and presented. This guy is the most thorough and thoughtfully presented chain of events regarding Lincolns assassination I've ever seen or heard.
Being a big Civil War fan I enjoy people that author new books on this subject I have all kinds of Civll War books I a map of the battles of Civil War that was in my Grandfather’s van that is a copy of the original copyrighted 1861 this is 1961 done on parchment 📜 paper so it looks old I have it framed in a room in my house I really encourage young Men or young Women that write books on this particular thing I love this presentation keep up the great work
Had a long drive alone, and enjoyed this thoroughly. One of the big challenges is getting to overcome the efforts by Dr. Mudd's descendants who have successfully influenced the narrative that he was railroaded, and innocent. Nary a mention of his meetings with the conspirators and his Confederate alliance. No doubt Mr. Taylor has learned to give a little and let his future spouse (at the time of the video) have her incorrect opinion on the guilt of Mrs. Surat, for the sake of harmony.
34:09 I don't believe that is Powell and his mother. He was born in 1844 so this picture would have been from around 1846 but photography was very new in America at that time. People didn't begin visiting their local photographer until about 20 years later.
A question for Mr. Taylor. Circa 2013 or 2014 I took the bus tour from the Surratt Tavern to Ford's theater and all points south ending at the Garrett farm in the medium of Virginia route 301 near A.P. Hill. I do recall the posted sign, at that location, being updated via Mr. Taylor's efforts. As the bus exited the Dr. Mudd residence there was a short comment about a one-eyed horse that linked Dr. Mudd to Booth. Could you refresh the memory about that linkage? TIA
"Blood On the Moon; The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln" by Edward Steers mentions this detail. I'm about 1/3 of the way through this book. It's very detailed with many references.
Ok. Why did a 43rd Cavalry Partisan Ranger from Mosby's unit, vociferous proponent of pistols over Sabres, carry a .38 Whitney that wouldn't fire? All the caps were bad that he used his hand held canon like a war hammer? I don't believe it.
I used ti live near the Richter Farm and Atzerodt walked past my home when he went there after the assassination. People said a suspicious man had walked up Clopper Road and the Yankee Cavalry caught him.
You keep saying D.C. - but Washington City you must mean. When exactly did Booth use his diamond stick pin to etch a clandestine message on the window of his room, something about poisoning Lincoln, trying to enlist a hotel maid? That wasn't 1863, was it?
I wonder why so many dummies out there insist that John Wilkes Booth escaped and lived as John St. Helens in Oklahoma or somewhere. When comparing the photos of Booth and St. Helens you can see that the noses are different, the eyes and the way the ears of each man uniquely sat on the head. The only similarities was the way they styled their hair and mustache. If the man in the barn was not Booth why did he not come out and identify himself as not being Mr. Booth?
@Michael Cote Why would they lie in this case? Explain the upside. Weirdos with conspiritaorial ideas like this, or 9/11 being an inside job, or how the earth is flat can never explain the purpose of the lie, how it's beneficial. Maybe you can in this case. I doubt it though.
Because there was a $50k bounty, Conger got back to Washington quickly on a gunboat. That much 1865 money, there was bound to be competing claims and counterclaims, but from a $20k a year hearththrob actor, to just surviving, then to knocking furniture together incognito in Enid Oklahoma. Oh please!
According to the book The Lincoln Conspiracy by David Balsiger published in 1977 Booth escaped Washington DC with a smuggler friend named Ed Henson and NOT David Herold. The book also says that Lewis Thornton Powell and Lewis Payne were 2 different people and although Lewis Powell carried out the attack on Steward Lewis Payne was found guilty. The book says confession statements by O'Laughlin and Atzerodt state that Payne and Powell were separate individuals. Evidence indicates that Payne was arrested and framed for his cousin, Powell's evil deed. Is any of this true? These facts in The Lincoln Conspiracy book differ from what I have read in all the other Lincoln Assassination books. The Lincoln Conspiracy book also says a man named James William Boyd was killed in Garrett's barn ant NOT Booth. Is that true?
Balsiger knows how to write controversy which will bring him money….but it hasn’t a shard of Truth. Do you imagine that his co-conspirator who had a meal with Booth would then have returned to the barn not noticing the person with whom he’d just spent the hours with was not the same person? Doh.
ohhh my goodness - what a shit salad of a soup sandwich!!! - ill say 2 things - 1st powell's involvement and eventual hanging is in my mind a great tragedy = powell was known as doc as a youngster, the nick name given to him because of his love of animals - he used to always bring home stray and or injured/wounded animals, and nurse them back to health' this was a very underrated good soul - yes caught up in an a escalating misguided mission led by a mean spirited truly nasty s.o.b - booth, i believe powell's quick entrance into this nightmare of a conflict (civil war) and his age 21 - made him an easy target to follow for manipulation for such a dead end of a path - that only caused more hurt, for it was lincoln who said to 1 of his generals - ''let them up easy'' referring to the treatment of the south after the war!!! so this alone makes booths actions nothing short of the work of the devil. Imagine how bad the treatment of the south was' against what it would have been had lincoln not been killed??? so when booth looked at his hands and said useless = he could not have been more right about anything... and 2nd what kind of worthless unnecessary war was this!! the north forced it for sure, i won't get into it, but this is a fact - as well as the fact that another famous political man other than lincoln also died at the age of 56 - his name was HITLER...
Excellent lecture. As I'm not American I don't have a romantic connection to Lincoln. Whilst of immense importance to American history whether he lived or died had no consequence to the outside world. With that said I have a certain sympathy for Booth et al. History is written by the victors. If I were a Confederate I would have considered Lincoln as a legitimate target so the tag of 'one of the worst crimes in American history is hyperbolic. Over 600,000 Americans were killed in the Civil War. What's one more? Again, excellent and informative video
I don't see how Dave Taylor can possibly call himself a "Boothie" when he does not condone the act of the assassin. To me anyone calling himself a "Boothie" should be a person who supports the Confederacy and hates Lincoln and believes what Booth did was right. Dave Taylor certainly is no "Boothie" to me. Sure I know this title Boothie can refer to someone researching Booth without condoning what he did but this is admittedly a narrow specialists definition understood by a few historians and researchers. To anyone in the majority of the general public the term Boothie connotes a person who supports the actions of Booth. I asked a few of my friends who are not specialists on Booth or the Lincoln Assassination and only have a general knowledge of it from what they learned in school and every one of them believed a Boothie to be a supporter of the Old South and a believer in what Booth did was right. To me a Boothie is someone who supports the actions of Booth and Dave Taylor does not.
Really? You get worked up about terminology? It's still a free country and people can refer to themselves however they want. Are you a member of the "thought Police?" I bet Mr. Taylor doesn't care what you think.
The term 'Boothie' must just mean different things to different people.....I see it as a broad term used for those of us interested in Booth and family, the conspiracy/conspirators, the assassination, manhunt and trial. Those of us more interested in Booths side of things as opposed to Lincolns, not from any political or social standpoint but merely from a historical and research perspective. Boothiebarn is a great website 👍
Very interesting. But i find your use of humor is not only unprofessional but a distraction. In addition, most of your talk is delivered with you looking at your lectern and reading. Content A. Delivery C.
So interesting, I have viewed both lectures and all of the Piney Thicket. BoothieBarn also! And now I am visiting all the sites! An intriguing time of history. Thank you for your enthusiasm and obvious love of your subject!
Very good presentation. However, the main presenter needs to correct his pronunciation of "Surratt." He pronounces the family name as if it were "Sir Rat," when in reality it is correctly pronounced as "Sir Rot." It would be better to make that pronunciation correction.
Well prepared and presented. This guy is the most thorough and thoughtfully presented chain of events regarding Lincolns assassination I've ever seen or heard.
Yes he can hold a audiences attention.
Except that he mispronounced the name "Surratt" as "Sir Rat," when it is actually pronounced as "Sir Rot."
Outstanding. Incredibly well presented. Great detail and tremendously educational. Bravo.
Absolutely 👏

Amazing info provided…especially enjoy period records, signatures and photos. Great research done by speaker.
Daaaaaaave Taaaaaaaaylor in the houuuuuuse! Another great presentation. Thanks Dave!
The most interesting presentation on the assassination that I've heard.
I enjoyed this discussion very much. Very informative. I learned a lot!

Whatever happens to Dave Taylor? His youtube site just dried up it seems ? Loved listening to his lectures and such.

Great lecture. Well done
I really like this discussion about presidents about politics I really miss Abraham Lincoln he's my favorite President of all
Excellent
That was very entertaining. Thank you.
Excellent, informative presentation!
Dave would you do a reenactment of the conspirators in jail before trial like you did with Booth in the woods? That would be really interesting.
Fantastic presentation.
Great information

9:57 - Speaking about David Herold, the speaker says "He studied pharmacology from 1855 to 1853." ???? So he traveled backwards in time?
😆😆
I have learned a lot on the assassination on Lincoln
Ok. Why did a 43rd Cavalry Partisan Ranger from Mosby's unit, vociferous proponent of pistols over Sabres, carry a .38 Whitney that wouldn't fire? All the caps were bad that he used his hand held canon like a war hammer? I don't believe it.
A great engaging lecture.
Superb .... Interesting and fascinating 🤔
The photo at 39:43 is John Singleton Mosby, Confederate ranger. Not John Scott Payne.
I like how they hanged the whole bunch at once. We need to get back to that.

Dave is so corny, but i fucking love that dude. You gotta love a young kid that pays attention to history.
I love learning but seeing someone oddly love everything they say is awesome . Wholesome history
Oh, How eloquent is your vocabulary…. must mirror your IQ.
Outstanding Keep the South Alive 🤠
The fact is booth was a no good little coward to shoot a man from behind, the lowest form of humans what a coward he is and may he burn in h***.
Booth did nothing wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I agree with you - shooting a man in the back is cowardly

Two of the worst things that ever happened to the black man is John Wilkes Booth and crack cocaine
One might argue that those were two of the best things.

I remember the moment as though it happened yesterday evening. The entire dorm I was living in went absolutely WILD when Booth made this announcement.

Damn.
@grassysands8857 they hung that old cougar!
Do you have Mr. Taylor"s email address? Would like to ask him a question. Thanks
Did you get the email? Who is his wife Kate? I think I went w school with her!
You keep saying D.C. - but Washington City you must mean. When exactly did Booth use his diamond stick pin to etch a clandestine message on the window of his room, something about poisoning Lincoln, trying to enlist a hotel maid? That wasn't 1863, was it?
I yike it, I yike it a lot.
Dave, do you thing booth died at Garret’s or escaped?
Dave would agree with me: He died in the Garrett barn. If he had escaped, he was a very recognizable individual; he would've been caught eventually.
John Wilkes Booth died on April 26, 1865 on the porch of the Garrett farmhouse.
I wonder why so many dummies out there insist that John Wilkes Booth escaped and lived as John St. Helens in Oklahoma or somewhere. When comparing the photos of Booth and St. Helens you can see that the noses are different, the eyes and the way the ears of each man uniquely sat on the head.
