Edwin Booth voted for Lincoln and was an avid supporter of the Union, while his brother John was a self-proclaimed spy for the Confederacy who committed what was considered one of the most tragically criminal acts of the 19th century. Join Dr. Pete Lubrecht as he traces the family lineage, including the famous father of the clan, Junius Brutus Booth, and follows John Wilkes Booth on his trail to fame and dishonor.
