Podcasts about Boston Corbett

This week, we must stop pretending Jimmy Carter is a vibrant man who can't wait to do things. Also, the O, the Q, and the Q with a dot; the B-52s; George W., Bill, and Joe; boiled peanuts; excerpts from a joke book published in 1884; “It Isn't Gonna Suck Itself”; an Arizona man was arrested for crawling under SUVs and watching women's feet; how many times a day does a young guy have to jerk off just to keep his life on the level?; being a hot girl must be impossible; a priest died after fucking another priest; a man took mushrooms and cut his cock into little pieces; Boston Corbett (here's a link to Corbett's hospital report); and finally, John Wilkes Booth.

John discusses Speaker Mike Johnson's dilemma in trying to work with Democrats to pass a foreign aid bill to help Ukraine while keeping peace with hard line MAGA sycophants like MTG who are threatening to oust him if he does bring the bill for a vote. He also points out the foreign aid will be primarily spent on weapons built here in the US thereby helping the economy. Then, he interviews Emmy-nominated and Writers Guild Award-winning comedy writer Jesse Joyce on his new book “Killing the Guys Who Killed the Guy Who Killed Lincoln: A Nutty Story About Edwin Booth and Boston Corbett”. And rounding it out - John brings back Julie Francella and Simon Moya-Smith for their Native Voices segments. They chat about indigenous culture and they also play another round of "Did You Know?" to wrap up.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Everyone knows about John Wilkes Booth and his dastardly plan to weaken the government and breathe new life into the Confederacy. It didn't work and Booth was killed days later. But who killed him? Thomas "Boston" Corbett, that's who. Boston Corbett was an interesting character who lived a hard life but leaned on God to get him through everything. In some people's eyes, he was a hero, but his actions almost got him in a lot of trouble, and he lived in fear of Booth's ghost for the rest of his days. Learn more in episode 60! Support the show

Boston Corbett fue un sargento del Ejército de la Unión durante la Guerra Civil estadounidense. Fue el responsable de matar al asesino del presidente Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth. Su acción fue considerada como un acto heroico por algunos y como un acto discutible de justicia por otros.

John Wilkes Booth was on the run for twelve days before being tracked down to a tobacco barn at Garrett's Farm in Port Royal, Virginia, and shot in the neck. He died of his injuries on 26th April, 1865 - after several agonising hours bleeding out.  Despite numerous witnesses to his death, it continued to be disputed by conspiracists for decades afterwards - one of whom took a mummified corpse he believed was the ‘real' Booth on a tour of sideshows and carnivals. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Booth's fame preceded him long before he fired a shot at President Lincoln; consider why the site where Booth breathed his last is still relatively obscured by the authorities; and explore how Boston Corbett, the man who killed Booth, was a rather curious chap himself… Further Reading: • ‘John Wilkes Booth's Death And The Manhunt That Preceded It' (All Thats Interesting, 2022): https://allthatsinteresting.com/john-wilkes-booth-death • ‘John Wilkes Booth killed Lincoln… but who killed John Wilkes Booth?'

In this episode I tell you about the lives of two men, John Wilkes Booth, the man who shot Abraham Lincoln, and Boston Corbett, the man who shot Booth. Or did he? Stories persist over the years that the man Boston Corbett shot was not really John Wilkes Booth, and that Booth lived on for decades after.  Notes: https://www.history.com/news/the-john-wilkes-booth-mummy-that-toured-america https://www.annmarieackermann.com/mysterious-fate-boston-corbett/ https://theamericanscholar.org/the-man-who-shot-the-man-who-shot-lincoln/ did john wilkes booth survive Music: Dexter Britain, The Tea Party http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dexter_Britain/ Chris Zabriskie, Undercover Vampire Policeman http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Chris_Zabriskie/ Kevin MacLeod, Impromptu I-III http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/ Coldnoise, Fragments, Chance to Noice http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Coldnoise/ Alex Mason & The Minor Emotion, Silent Park Inside Your Soul, Only http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Alex_Mason__The_Minor_Emotion/

On April 14th, 1865, John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in Ford's theatre, escaping shortly thereafter and going on the run. The Federal troops in pursuit of the assassin had orders to bring Booth and any of his conspirators back alive. For most of the soldiers, this wasn't a problem. However, Boston Corbett felt he answered to a higher power -- and this higher power told him that Booth deserved to die. Tune in as we explore the (bizarre) life and times of Boston Corbett.

Thomas "Boston" Corbett was a Union Army soldier who shot and killed President Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth. A colorful character,  Corbett served as a POW in Andersonville, was court martialed twice (once sentenced to be shot), castrated himself and escaped an insane asylum only to die in the Great Hinkley Fire.

President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a southern sympathizer and a self-proclaimed modern-day Brutus, on April 14th, 1865 (five days after the end of the Civil War). Booth snuck into Lincoln's viewing Booth at the Ford's Theater while Lincoln was watching "Our American Cousin" and shot him in the back of the head. Booth then jumped down onto the stage and ran out the back door. The ensuing manhunt eventually caught up with him in the swamps of the Potomac River. He was shot, and his co-conspirators were hanged.The event has many interesting stories associated with it:Lincoln had a dream in which he walked into the East Room of the White House and saw a casket. He asked the soldiers why there was a casket and the soldiers told him that the President had been assassinated. He had the dream three days before being assassinated.Robert Todd Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's son, stood by his father's body as he passed away. Strangely, Robert Todd Lincoln would also stand by the sides of Presidents Garfield and McKinley (both shot by assassins) as they lay dying.Robert Todd Lincoln once fell onto the train tracks but was saved by Edwin Booth, John's brother.Boston Corbett, the soldier who fatally wounded Booth, shot him in the exact same spot that Booth shot Lincoln. There are also several conspiracy theories about the Lincoln Assassination:Vice President Johnson indirectly communicated with Booth on the day of the assassination. He stood to gain the most from the death of Lincoln.Confederate Secretary of State Judah Benjamin might have ordered the assassination of the opposing head of state for tactical reasons. Benjamin destroyed all of his records after the surrender, and then fled to England and never returned.Secretary of War Edwin Stanton disliked Lincoln for his moderate stance on many issues. Stanton prevented Ulysses Grant (and his military escort) from attending "Our American Cousin" with Lincoln (and potentially saving his life). He also lowered security on the bridge that Booth used to flee into Maryland. He also destroyed a few pages of Booth's diary before it was used as evidence in court.
