Came across this posting today and wanted to let you know that the picture you posted of what you think to be John Wilkes Booth's tombstone is actually the footstone of his sister, Asia. Most of the graves in the Booth Family plot have a headstone and a footstone. You are not alone in your assumption. JWB is actually buried in a completely unmarked grave behind the obelisk with no marker.Dop Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238255447512242559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296287100970811608.post-65033461987184455962013-06-01T15:17:32.040-04:002013-06-01T15:17:32.040-04:00Thank you for posting a photograph of my four time...Thank you for posting a photograph of my four times great uncle General Henry Carey Bankhead as a young man as I had not seen that before; the photograph we have is of him right after the war.

Incidentally, he was also captured earlier in the war during First Bull Run --- by one of his sergeants from a few months before in the 2nd Dragoons.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great insight and photos.<BR/><BR/>DonDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981364424576706674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296287100970811608.post-41570772593597368122009-03-01T21:41:00.000-05:002009-03-01T21:41:00.000-05:00Such a deep subject! ;-)Very interesting stuff!Such a deep subject! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Very interesting stuff!Jared Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338961190412502120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296287100970811608.post-84144154133855413062009-03-01T18:39:00.000-05:002009-03-01T18:39:00.000-05:00KimI wish I would have known that before; now I mo...Kim<BR/>I wish I would have known that before; now I most certainly need to go back, when I have a whole day! <BR/>Also, perhaps I can arrange for a tour of the Old St. Paul's Cemetery off MLK in downtown Baltimore, where Armistead and his Uncle George are buried.John David Hoptakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10521690201528852944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296287100970811608.post-43516051783121580372009-03-01T18:28:00.000-05:002009-03-01T18:28:00.000-05:00John, This post really expounds on the personaliti...John, This post really expounds on the personalities of the notable burials in Green Mount--ACW should link to this! I am a cemetery buff too. Another great interest of mine is the Titanic, and what initially drew me to Green Mount years ago was finding out that Walter Lord, the historian who wrote the classic Titanic account called "A Night to REmember," is buried at GM. When I went to see his grave, that's when I was astounded to discover all the Civil War history there.Kim O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276403813495495783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296287100970811608.post-48332430111632163482009-03-01T11:33:00.000-05:002009-03-01T11:33:00.000-05:00Thanks for the reply,As an interested observer of ...Thanks for the reply,<BR/><BR/>As an interested observer of Civil War Era cemeteries I've always wanted to visit the Civil War section of Magnolia cemetery located in Mobile, Alabama. It has many Confederate notables buried in it and even some Union soldiers. It includes the graves of General Adley Gladden who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Shiloh. The cemetery also contains ,I believe, a memorial to the men of the Hunley. Plus, the cemetery has a grave that all Civil War buffs should visit to pay their respects to: the 'infamous' Braxton Bragg.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/>ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296287100970811608.post-61180190178232315722009-03-01T10:49:00.000-05:002009-03-01T10:49:00.000-05:00ChrisThanks.

Green Mount is an incredible place and a must for any student of Civil War history or anyone as fascinated by cemeteries as I am. <BR/>When I go back, and have more time, I'll post more photos. <BR/><BR/>JohnJohn David Hoptakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10521690201528852944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296287100970811608.post-40311067680992124952009-03-01T10:39:00.000-05:002009-03-01T10:39:00.000-05:00Wow, very impressive cemetery!

As a bit of trivia, Junius Booth is depicted in the novel by Richard Slotkin called 'Abe' that came out around 2000. It is a novel about the young Abraham Lincoln. Old cemeteries I find quite fascinating. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great post,<BR/>ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
