Actor and the Assassin: Edwin and John Wilkes Booth - Join us at the library In-Person
We have all heard how the U.S. Civil War pitted brother against brother—and the observation was never more apt than in the dramatic clash between the renowned actor Edwin Booth and his fanatical brother John Wilkes Booth, neither of whom actually served in the war. Please join historian Cathy Polovina from the Kenosha Public Library to learn the story of how familial pride and sibling rivalry brought stage triumph to one and historical infamy to the other.
