16747BOOTH John Wilkes. Assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. Civil War-dated printed broadside playbill 4.5" x 13" inches advertising a performance of Brian Boroihme at the Boston Museum where Booth was a regular performer for May 2 1862 exactly three years before the Lincoln assassination. Before becoming famous as a political radical and a murderer Booth was an erratic and popular performer from the well-known Booth family of Shakespearean actors. A supporter of slavery and the South he participated in the arrest and execution of abolitionist John Brown in 1859. In the fall of 1864 he hatched a plan to kidnap President Abraham Lincoln but the scheme failed. He then concocted the plot to assassinate Lincoln which he did in Ford's Theatre on April 14 1865 before jumping to the stage and allegedly crying out "Sic semper tyrannis! The South is avenged!" Booth was located and killed twelve days later. At the time of the playbill Both was performing in at least twelve pieces; including lead roles in Invisible Prince on May 9 and 12 1862 Peg Woffington on May 9 1862 Richard III on May 12 14 and 21 1862 and The Robbers on May 21 1862. It is very likely Booth contributed to and attended the live performance of Brian Boroihme advertised in the present playbill. In near fine condition. unknown books

19042550New York: King Memorial Committee of The Century Association by G.P. Putnam's Sons 1904. First Edition. Leather bound. Near fine. Letter from Secretary of State John Hay to General James Grant Wilson regarding a lock of President Lincoln's hair. Octavo. vii 429pp. Three quarter green morocco title in gilt on spine decorative compartments. Frontispiece portrait with issue cover. Marbled endpapers. Bookplate affixed to front endpaper. Top edge gilt. Letter affixed to front endpaper from Secretary of State John Hay to Gen. James Wilson Grant dated November 8 1902 in response to an inquiry over whether he still possessed a lock of Lincoln's deathbed hair. Includes envelope. Letter notes that he "greatly regrets that I am not the possessor of a lock of Lincoln's hair. I had a little of it for a year or two after his death but in some unaccountable way it was lost." John Hay's search for locks of Lincoln's hair would be a lifelong passion for the friend of the slain president. In 1893 Hay wrote to Doctor Charles Sabin Taft a bystander physician who attended to President Lincoln after being shot at Ford's Theater asking if the doctor had any strands of hair in his possession. Doctor Taft declined to barter for his memento but in 1905 his son found the original letter and contacted Hay. In a hurry the hair was purchased by Hay and promptly encased in a yellow ring. This yellow ring was sent to President Theodore Roosevelt on the occasion of his inauguration. He wore the ring to his inauguration and it remains in the Theodore Roosevelt collection at Sagamore Hill. Mearns 1959. King Memorial Committee of The Century Association by G.P.
