That money wasn't left because people were honoring Booth or anything. Lincoln is on the penny and 5 dollar bill. It's to show him that Lincoln is being honored to this very day.
Apparently others were buried on top of John, including a little girl. This complicated things when a petion to dig up John to perform a DNA test to prove he didn't escape was presented.
This is true. It was common to have a foot stone and not all of them were marked. It’s comical that people think that is John Wilkes grave. Someone should take the money on top of it and give to a homeless person.
The reason Edwin's name isn't on that plot's obelisk (I guess it's called), is because he's not there in the family plot. Buried instead at Mt Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Mass. He, Edwin, didn't disassociate himself from the rest of the family. While he refused to speak of his late brother John Wilkes after the assassination, it was he who arrange after years of effort to have Wilkes's body removed from it's unmarked grave in that prison courtyard in DC, and reinterred there with the rest of the family. He, Edwin, also kept a photo of him in his bedroom to the end of his life. So there must have been some remaining remnant of brotherly love there. Those coins on J W's stone by the way are most like Lincoln pennies placed there by tourists to mock the late assassin rather than to honor him. Very, very interesting and fun tour. Thanks much for it.
So much information you give. DR Mudd was imprisoned but pardoned by president Johnson and his family tried for years to get his name expunged but they were not successful r
Small correction: Booth's spur was caught in the Treasury Flag that was also draping the box. In earlier days this flag was displayed in the basement museum. You could see the rip in the flag where booth's spur was caught. Enjoy your videos very much, Jordon.
Thank you so much. I found this video so interesting i love Abraham Lincoln thank you so much for letting us go with you to the museum i enjoyed it so much.
You took the words right out of my mouth! As you were passing that pink tree I said “wow this is beautiful he doesn’t deserve something this nice after what he did”
John Wilkes Booth had a sister who loved him dearly and was heartbroken at his death. I’ve read that his exact burial location is not known but is generally believed that he is buried in the family plot.
I looked up everything john wilkes booth and Dave Taylor takes you along johns escape route with a broken leg, he suffered while on the run but its very interesting.
Very interesting vlog! I’ve been to Fords theatre before and have seen some of the artifacts from that day. Kind of surreal to see it. When I was there the place where Lincoln died was not open, I need to go back and see that.
Another extremely interesting vlog on the death of President Lincoln. If you ever find yourself back in Chicago with some extra time, you might want to visit the Chicago History Museum at the southwest tip of Lincoln Park (1601 North Clark Street). Thanks to Robert Todd Lincoln, the president's son who lived in Chicago, and a local collector and donor, they have Lincoln's deathbed and other furniture from the Petersen House as well as other Lincolniana, Chicago Fire, and numerous other Chicago-related exhibits.
I agree with you, an extremely sad day in American history. All because some privileged guy wanted to be a hero. It makes me sick that people put money on his grave. Why? You did a great job on those video, well done!
Apple TV released a pretty good miniseries about the Lincoln assassination, its conspirators and the hunt to find John Wilkes Booth. The series titled "Manhunt" even covers aspects of the assassination that much of the American public is unaware. Was the Confederate government or George Sanders somehow involved in the Lincoln assassination?
I’m related to Lincoln ❤ anything Lincoln I watched. I didn’t find out until I was a child. I was always obsessed with him. I had written a documentary on him for my grade school and won an award. This is when I learned about our DNA history. We have a couple personal items in the family.
Booth got into an argument with a guy at the bar, right before he shot Lincoln. It started when a bar patron said, ‘You’ll never be as good of actor as your father!’ (Brutus Booth).
And isn't it ironic that John Wilkes Booth's brother saved Robert Lincoln from an accident. He was pushed in front of a train and 6 months later boost brother killed. Robert Lincoln's father
What Booth said that night is still up for debate. Many claimed he said "Sic Semper Tryannis" 'Thus Always To Tyrants', the motto of Virginia. Some said he said "The South Is Avenged.".
I get books by mail from the napa county library i read a book about john wilkes booth i sure wouldnt leave five dollars and pennies on his unmarked grave good vlog jordan
I love the history vlogs. Also a Lincoln fan here. And I didn’t even know Booth was in a family plot. I always thought he was still in the ground in Virginia or Maryland or wherever they brought him back to after they got him.
The police guard, Officer Parker, had a spotty record at best. He was the worst possible choice and proved it that night by leaving his post and the president unguarded.This unspeakable dereliction of duty cost the president his life. No one stopped Booth. He just walked in as if he’d been invited.
Very interesting subject matter and vintage American history. I was really looking forward to the Apple Tv mini series "Manhunt" that focused on the assassination of Lincoln and the hunt and capture of Booth - the show was amateur hour. Terrible acting, show writers taking liberties with the facts and the worst Lincoln actor I've ever seen lol. Listening to Jordan recall the events in a simple manner is much better. Thank you.
Excellent vlog. Anytime I come across this story, I can't help but think of the irony of Edwin Booth having potentially saved Robert Todd Lincoln's life after he fell from a train platform. The money on JWB's stone is probably meant to chastise him, as they bear Lincoln's likeness.
Edwin Booth saved Robert Lincoln from being struck by an oncoming Train when Robert tumbled off of a Train platform - Edwin grabbed ahold of Lincoln and pulled him out of harms way . . .
14:05 I recall from the movie "The Conspirator" that Mary Surratt's son John got away scot-free, while his mother was hanged. I double-checked and did a search on him, and found that there was some question as to whether or not he knew about the change in the plan from kidnapping to assassination. But the same can be said about his mother. Hmm...maybe the Surratt family could make good content for one of Jordan's vlogs?
There was a train car where I lived in Idaho when I was little and they had a plaque that said it took Booths body across country in like showing him and that they had the guy that killed Lincoln. I don't know how true it is but they did have a photo of him and the train.
OK, my question has always been. Which side were they sitting at if you’re looking at the balcony from the stage was it on the left of Washington’s portrait or was it on the right portrait? I always wondered that I wonder if anybody knows.
I've always understood it to be to the right of the Washington portrait. I wasn't there, but they eluded to that during the presentation in Ford's Theater I saw, where they lit that side with a light after he is shot in memorium..
Not a way to go about things...he knew it was wrong otherwise he wouldn't have ran. I mean, if he thought what he did was right he wouldn't have cared if he was caught. Anyway, this was a really interesting video!
thats not booths headstone t hats unmarked like u said thats a foot stone rich people had a head stone and a foot stone called that cause at coffins foot
Im not here to say Booth was a good guy, but for the record Lincoln would have newspaper reporters put in jail who wrote negatively about him, which is pretty lame too.
Edwin Booth is burried in Cambridge, Massachusetts I believe. And John Wilkes is burried, unmarked in the family plot. The footstone where people leave the coins 🪙 is actually for one of their Sister's. Thanks Jordan 😃
Even tho I do not condone Booths actions after studying the case and ways of thinking for years now...and I would not leave a coin to either mock or honor...people have a false sense of Lincoln due to the northern victory of the Civil war...booth wasn't the only person to feel that way about Lincoln in both the north or south...of you were to look up how tyrannical Lincoln was on Google you'd be shocked at how it differs from the perception of Lincoln in the present...he was made a martyr in death but was no savior of the union nor a savior for abolishing slavery...I know I shall be criticized for this but the truth is the truth...while I do not condone Booths actions I can understand in his time period the direction he felt the US was going and wanted to stop it while also being the hero of the story...in short both booth and Lincoln (along with his goonsquad) were villains...but history is always written by the winners
Next to his father Junius - Brother Edwin was actually the much better actor than John - John was only more noted for excelling in the swashbuckling type of roles - Edwin much better actor by far . . .
That money wasn't left because people were honoring Booth or anything. Lincoln is on the penny and 5 dollar bill. It's to show him that Lincoln is being honored to this very day.
That’s not even John Wilkes grave or even a headstone. It’s desecration of a grave which is a felony.
That little stone with the pennies on it is actually his sister’s foot stone. John Wilkes is in an unmarked grave behind the family monument.
Apparently others were buried on top of John, including a little girl. This complicated things when a petion to dig up John to perform a DNA test to prove he didn't escape was presented.
This is true. It was common to have a foot stone and not all of them were marked. It’s comical that people think that is John Wilkes grave. Someone should take the money on top of it and give to a homeless person.

Very, very interesting and fun tour.
Thanks much for it.
Thanks for that information
Good info, but that stone isn't J.W's. It's a foot stone for someone else in the family. John Wilkes grave is not marked.
@@NoelG702 Yeah, I know. But it's the one representative of it, so lacking anywhere else to place them, why the coins and five dollar bill are on it.
@@hiramnoone its a taunt 2 booth cause lincoln is on 5 dollar and penny
to mock booth,,,,, i hope you are correct ,thank you for the info...
ALWAYS a pleasure and a great time hanging with Jordan the Lion.
So much information you give. DR Mudd was imprisoned but pardoned by president Johnson and his family tried for years to get his name expunged but they were not successful

Thank you so much. I found this video so interesting i love Abraham Lincoln thank you so much for letting us go with you to the museum i enjoyed it so much.
I really love when you cover American history, dude. Great job and thanks!
You took the words right out of my mouth! As you were passing that pink tree I said “wow this is beautiful he doesn’t deserve something this nice after what he did”
Again Jordan another great historical vlog
Excellent vlog Jordan!
Thank you! 💪❤💗
I love Lincoln and these videos are amazing and so informative! Thanks!
John Wilkes Booth had a sister who loved him dearly and was heartbroken at his death. I’ve read that his exact burial location is not known but is generally believed that he is buried in the family plot.
Well I believe he is since it’s the only unmarked grave on the family plot and not a empty grave
I looked up everything john wilkes booth and Dave Taylor takes you along johns escape route with a broken leg, he suffered while on the run but its very interesting.
He actually escaped. My friend has a picture of the grave site in Mississippi where he is really buried.
It is off the beaten path. My friend’s family goes back before the Civil War from Mississippi and Louisiana.
Most killers have family members who loved them “dearly” and heartbroken over their deaths
I'm from Maryland. John Wilkes Booth used to frequently visit Historic Ellicott City
John Wilkes Booth shouted on stage to the crowd “Sic semper tyrannis” meaning “thus always to tyrants”
It is the motto of the state of Virginia.
Always good to hear a story or see a vlog from you, Jordon. Thanks for sharing history with us.
This was great. I really enjoyed how informative you are! But yes such a sad day in history.
Very interesting vlog! I’ve been to Fords theatre before and have seen some of the artifacts from that day. Kind of surreal to see it. When I was there the place where Lincoln died was not open, I need to go back and see that.
I have loved your history videos the past few weeks. Really interesting!! Keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing the history, Jordan and Jah
Best way to say it Jordan....tacky someone putting a $5.00 & pennies. Very interesting.
Another great broadcast. Thank you Jordan.

Very interesting and very tragic!!
Thanks, Jordan!!
💙
Another Great Video, I Love anything to do with Honest Abe.
Keep in mind Lincoln is on the penny and $5 bill. Visitors place those with Lincoln’s face down as an affront to Booth.
What Booth said that night is still up for debate. Many claimed he said "Sic Semper Tryannis" 'Thus Always To Tyrants', the motto of Virginia. Some said he said "The South Is Avenged.".
I get books by mail from the napa county library i read a book about john wilkes booth i sure wouldnt leave five dollars and pennies on his unmarked grave good vlog jordan
Tudor hall would be a great place to learn more history relating to the subject
The two speeches engraved either side of the Lincoln Monument in Washington D C tell you what a great man he was.
I love the history vlogs. Also a Lincoln fan here. And I didn’t even know Booth was in a family plot. I always thought he was still in the ground in Virginia or Maryland or wherever they brought him back to after they got him.
What Booth supposedly said after landing on the stage was "Sic Semper Tyrannis", or "Thus always to Tyrants".
The guard who was supposed to be outside of the box was a seasoned police officer. He was at a bar when Mr. Booth entered the box.
at the bar should have been with president lincoln,NOT JUICEN IT UP AT THE BAR.SEASONED POLICE OFFICER,LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL 🤔 🤔 HUM
The police guard, Officer Parker, had a spotty record at best. He was the worst possible choice and proved it that night by leaving his post and the president unguarded.This unspeakable dereliction of duty cost the president his life. No one stopped Booth. He just walked in as if he’d been invited.
When you said that people have left coins and rocks, I was thinking the exact same thing that you did… I wouldn’t
They weren't left because people were honoring Booth or anything. Lincoln is on the penny and 5 dollar bill.

The book "Manhunt" was excellent. Too bad about the mini-series.
Thanks Jordan for sharing this it was very interesting, keep up the awesome work my friend.
That money placed is to remind booth and his family of lincoln . TACKY is some person taking that money !
Excellent vlog. Anytime I come across this story, I can't help but think of the irony of Edwin Booth having potentially saved Robert Todd Lincoln's life after he fell from a train platform. The money on JWB's stone is probably meant to chastise him, as they bear Lincoln's likeness.

GOOD JOB MY FRIEND
That John Wilkes Booth was real stinker!
Jordan the lion is one cool dude!
There was a train car where I lived in Idaho when I was little and they had a plaque that said it took Booths body across country in like showing him and that they had the guy that killed Lincoln. I don't know how true it is but they did have a photo of him and the train.
OK, my question has always been. Which side were they sitting at if you’re looking at the balcony from the stage was it on the left of Washington’s portrait or was it on the right portrait? I always wondered that I wonder if anybody knows.
I've always understood it to be to the right of the Washington portrait. I wasn't there, but they eluded to that during the presentation in Ford's Theater I saw, where they lit that side with a light after he is shot in memorium..
@@DazewithJordantheLion Oopsie, alluded. Forgive me, it's an English major thing.
@@DazewithJordantheLion thx! I thought so too… but different paintings show different sides. Enjoy your videos since the start
I ❤ Abe and I loathe John Wilkes Booth. Thanks Jordan. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
I saw the grave of Robert E Lees grave 🍒🍔🍟🍕🍧🍨🍩🍪🎂🍰🧁🥧🍫🍬🍭☕🍹🧋🧃
A direct descendant of actor Tony Booth from til death us do part sitcom fame who was brought up about 2 miles from where I live
The pennies are left there to mock him
Booth shouted "Sic semper tyrannis" (thus always to tyrants) in Latin after shooting Lincoln.
Not a way to go about things...he knew it was wrong otherwise he wouldn't have ran. I mean, if he thought what he did was right he wouldn't have cared if he was caught. Anyway, this was a really interesting video!
thats not booths headstone t hats unmarked like u said thats a foot stone rich people had a head stone and a foot stone called that cause at coffins foot
Im not here to say Booth was a good guy, but for the record Lincoln would have newspaper reporters put in jail who wrote negatively about him, which is pretty lame too.
Edwin Booth is burried in Cambridge, Massachusetts I believe. And John Wilkes is burried, unmarked in the family plot. The footstone where people leave the coins 🪙 is actually for one of their Sister's.
Thanks Jordan 😃
He had secret service they went for a beer with someone and that left a chance for booth
16:00
Hopefully people are leaving the penny and the five both having Lincoln on the money we use today on the gravestones to troll booth.
Oh, wow, to put pennies and a $5 bill is so distasteful.
He became famous that was all that he got out of all this he became known as the most hated man in US history
they said lincoln was a champion wrestler and if he saw booth coming lincoln could have taken him
The bullet fell out of Lincoln's brain
Elijah Bond is buried in that cemetery to he made the Ouija board..
And Lincoln's guest rathbun killed his wife
Not enough time is spent on Booth's siblings who were in Philadelphia.
Video wasn't about them.. did they kill president lincoln?
hi jordan! i am GREAT!
I think they leave the pennies because Lincoln is on the penny.
I know, but generally money is left for well wishes in the afterlife..
Even tho I do not condone Booths actions after studying the case and ways of thinking for years now...and I would not leave a coin to either mock or honor...people have a false sense of Lincoln due to the northern victory of the Civil war...booth wasn't the only person to feel that way about Lincoln in both the north or south...of you were to look up how tyrannical Lincoln was on Google you'd be shocked at how it differs from the perception of Lincoln in the present...he was made a martyr in death but was no savior of the union nor a savior for abolishing slavery...I know I shall be criticized for this but the truth is the truth...while I do not condone Booths actions I can understand in his time period the direction he felt the US was going and wanted to stop it while also being the hero of the story...in short both booth and Lincoln (along with his goonsquad) were villains...but history is always written by the winners
Those lefty theater acting types greatly resemble those Lefty acting types of today. Notice the parallels.
There’s zero resemblance. Booth was a radical conservative, not at all a “lefty.”
Next to his father Junius - Brother Edwin was actually the much better actor than John - John was only more noted for excelling in the swashbuckling type of roles - Edwin much better actor by far . . .
I'm from Maryland. John Wilkes Booth used to frequently visit Historic Ellicott City
Great video
