KILLING THE GUYS WHO KILLED THE GUY WHO KILLED LINCOLN A Nutty Story About Edwin Booth and Boston Corbett

by | Read by Jesse Joyce

History • 2 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2023

Writer/comedian Jesse Joyce briskly narrates his version of the aftermath of President Lincoln's assassination, filling his account with humorous observations. Joyce adopts a casual, irreverent tone as he tells listeners that Thomas Boston Corbett, who killed presidential assassin John Wilkes Booth, was a hat maker who had been exposed to mercury. Joyce's history also covers the later life of Edwin Booth, whose renowned acting career suffered after his brother's murderous action. Listeners might find themselves laughing in spite of themselves at a few jokes, but they will also find a wearying amount of profanity and tastelessness, as when Joyce gives Lincoln's murderer a profane nickname.
