John Wilkes Booth, the Jesuit assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, did not die in 1865, as stated in revisionist history books and other accounts.    Living under assumed names, Booth traveled in the western United States and in Mexico, then settled in the Oklahoma Territories, where he lived until 1903.    Researcher, author and attorney Finis L. Bates reveals the mystery behind Booth’s alleged “death” in 1865, and shares personal discussions he had with Booth, who openly confessed to the assassination and the parts played by the many conspirators who aided him.     Bates also includes detailed accounts from many other parties who were intimately familiar with the conspiracy and with Booth personally.    Meticulously researched and presented, The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth sheds light on the grand conspiracy to murder President Abraham Lincoln and to conceal the escape and later whereabouts of his assassin.    Originally published in 1907, this current version has been edited for clarity, while preserving the author’s original content and style.

"In the preparation of this book I have neither spared time or money, since I became satisfied that John Wilkes Booth was not killed, as has been supposed, at the Garrett home in Virginia, on the 26th day of April, 1865, and present this volume of collated facts, which I submit for the correction of history, respecting the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and the death or escape of John Wilkes Booth." --Finis L. Bates, Preface (1907) In his book The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth--The First True Account of Lincoln's Assassination Containing a Complete Confession by Booth Many Years After the Crime (1907), Tennessee lawyer and author Finis L. Bates (1848-1923), who became acquainted with John St. Helen, claimed that John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of US President Abraham Lincoln, was not killed by Union Army Soldiers on April 26, 1865, but successfully escaped and lived for many years thereafter under the assumed names of John St. Helen and David E. George, and finally committed suicide in 1903. One of the other telling revelations in this books was that the leader of the conspiracy to assassinate Lincoln was Vice President Andrew Johnson. The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth offers fascinating information for historians, students of the Civil War, and those interested in conspiracy theories.
