Good Brother, Bad Brother: The Story of Edwin Booth and John Wilkes Booth

235 pp. | Clarion | May, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-618-09642-6 $22.00
(2) 4-6 It's convenient to think of Edwin Booth as "good," and his brother, President Lincoln's assassin, as "bad," but this dual biography shows that such labels are simplistic. Giblin raises his biographical curtain on both brothers in the theater, letting the mid-1800s' arts and the brothers' careers share center stage. Period photos put faces to the history. Source notes. Bib., ind.
