Originally posted by @dj2beckerOff the top of my head, assuming John Wilkes Booth, is who is being asked about -
Does anyone know what happened to him? Where did he disappear to? I'm thinking maybe FMF could help us out with that one?
He was on the run for some days. I think he was wounded and assisted by a doctor, whose name was Mud ? And for that assistance the phrase "Your name will be mud" arose, allegedly. The doctor's alibi was that he was just doing his professional duty.
He alluded capture.
He was very disappointed that he did not get more assistance from the Southerners hostile to the Union.
Kind of like John Brown being disappointed that more slaves didn't rise up and join his insurrection at Harper's Ferry.
Anyway, disappointed with their lack of loyalty to the Confederate cause, I think he ended up surrounded in a barn. Wasn't there a shoot out, and John Wilkes Booth was shot dead ?
Apologies for any misstatements of history. This was off the cuff.
What seems always memorable to me is John Wilkes Booth, seemingly (to me) fanatical hatred of Abraham Lincoln. I mean it seems that he hated Lincoln the way Captain Ahab insanely hated Moby Dick the white whale in Melville's novel.
Lincoln must have touched a nerve in John Wilkes Booth that Booth insanely could not endure.

But you seem unusually interested in deeming that you and two or so like-minded posters, disgusted with a poster, means [b]universal derision.[/b]
Originally posted by @dj2beckerNothing to find. You have never given your reasons for deliberately misleading people. (So you can hardly complain when we have to speculate).
Alternatively you can go look for it yourself.
