Man who shot Lincoln’s killer ends in Kansas tale
The account follows Boston Corbett, the Civil War sergeant who killed John Wilkes Booth, his later life in Cloud County Kansas, a brief political setback as a Kansas House door keeper, a stint in the hat trade linked to mercury poisoning, and a note in The Kansas Guidebook about a Corbett dug site near Concordia. The piece traces a fragmented life from preacher to reluctant assassin, ending with uncertain fate.
