The Booth family were all accomplished actors and it was John's brother Edwin who in fact saved President Lincoln's son Robert Lincoln's life in Passaic New Jersey by pulling him to safety by an incoming train after Robert tripped over his bag and fell into a railway pit. After the assassination of Lincoln Edwin quit acting out of shame his brother brought upon him. Many years later he made a comeback.

Too bad that the commentator was WRONG about quite a few things!

2:25 "Cemeteries just don't look like this anymore, because you don't have artisans who do this kind of work anymore." Lack of skilled stone cutters is not really the the reason. Artistic and dramatic grave stones came into fashion during the Victorian era, when cemeteries were visited as recreation and, in the post Civil War era, American cemeteries reflected the public's fascination with death--they were the original goths, as it were. As that interest faded in the mid 20th century, demand for fancy stones waned. Cemeteries have been redesigned for ease of maintenance. It is far easier to mow large lawns when the markers are set flush on the ground.

All the more impressive that much of the carving then was done by hand.

Often confused to be a marker for John Wilkes, this white stone in the Booth family plot is the foot stone for his sister, Asia Booth Clarke. John Wilkes is buried without any stone.

Dan, Green Mount Cemetery is a classic example of the Rural Cemetery Movement that occurred between the 1830s-1890s. These cemeteries were inspired by the creation of Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. The first "rural cemetery" in America was Mount Auburn near Cambridge, MA. Others quickly followed, Laurel Hill in Philadelphia, Green-Wood in Brooklyn, and Woodlawn in the Bronx. Look up info on "Rural Cemetery Movement;" I think you will find quite interesting information.

Always respectfully done. Thank u

"A coin left on a headstone or at the grave site is meant as a message to the deceased soldier's family that someone else has visited the grave to pay respect. Leaving a penny at the grave means simply that you visited. A nickel indicates that you and the deceased trained at boot camp together, while a dime means you served with him in some capacity. By leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the soldier when he was killed" Im assuming this is why there are pennies on his gravestone, lincoln just happens to be on the penny though.

There's a tradition of counteracting the bad juju at the grave by placing Lincoln head pennies face up on the headstones to "lock the assassin in the ground."

I lived in Jackson Missouri once. And at the police station there was a toumstone of someone who died in 1859, it was apparently vandalized and broken off and the police station had it in the back of the building right by where the graveyard was. And I couldn't believe the police were just keeping it there couldn't they have taken a Walk thru the cemetery to see what grave it belonged to, and see if it could have somehow could have been repaired. It was despicable to me the cops could have done something.

The Saint with the serpent under her foot is Saint Martha. JWB was the son of the Shakespearean actorJunius Brutus Booth, whose name appears on both the obelisk and a stone in this video. His brother referred to by others here was his brother, the actor Edwin Booth. Like the Barrymores, theater was the family business. The cemetery is also festooned with many stones that attest to the Greek cemetery movement, which effected the way stones were sculpted in graveyards all up and down the east coast in that period. The historian Gary Wills has written pretty marvelously about it in his "Lincoln at Gettysburg", which chronicles the roots of the poetry/school of rhetoric that led to the crafting of the Gettysburg address. A worthy and fascinating read.

Wow that's a massive cemetery!!

We have a cool cemetery like that here in alabama where hank williams is buried

Wind noise was very distracting. You might want to do a little research. John Wilkes Booth parents were British actor Junius Booth and Mary Ann (much younger actress and they were not married). Junius Booth was married to a woman in England.

London's 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries are worth checking out- especially Highgate.

Thanks Dan. That is an interesting clip. John Wilkes Booth's father was Junius Brutus Booth. They were a famous family. That night at Ford's Theater, everyone knew Mr. Wilkes Booth. He was a VIP, there with his bride to be, Lucy Hale. Mr Lincoln knew who he was. In possession of a loaded gun, John Wilkes Booth walked past everyone on his way up to the President's booth. If Mr Booth had his say, I think he would rather have folks putting Lincoln, five dollar bills on his grave. That way he could get something to drink.

There is still art in the Monument Companies, most of it is drawn digitally. I live near the Wichita Mountain chain in Oklahoma where they mine granite, and there are many many many monument companies here with art comparable to the 18th centuries that was still being produced by hand even 10 years ago. So yeah there are many very talented individual artists working for monument companies and is still a very very professional art form.

thats asia booth's foot stone, not john wilkes's headstone

last Cemetery of its kind

You're in the neck of my woods in Baltimore. I wish yoy woulda check out Johns Hopkins resting place. They give tours of Greenmount cemetery. Awesome place.💝

I am from Baltimore. Chubby (Norman Chancy) from the Little Rascals is also buried in the graveyard at the top the hill. Poor guy was only 21 years old when he died.

Ironically, Chubby's predecessor from the silent era, Joe Cobb, lived to old age, passing away in 2002.

I love how he has the most pathetic headstone in the family

John Doe but you're more or less right my friend, sorry if I seemed rude btw

You know the sad part is, he didn't had to do what he did, but he killed Lincoln. Not only Lincolns family suffered but his family suffered too after his actions, His brothers acting career never achieved success all because they shared the same last name. In the end, Lincoln's legacy lives on and so those booth's (just not too much)

Beautiful cemetery

Rest in Peace. Lincolns tyranny was at last cut short by your brave deed! Lincoln had to account for the war he waged against his own people. Lincoln's name should live in everlasting infamy for the hundreds of thousands that died needlessly. Alas, your grave is neglected and your good name insulted but your words will echo into history. Sic semper tyrannis!

I'd relive myself on johns headstone

You need to visit Hollywood in Richmond, if you haven't already. Many notable graves and a beautiful place to roam around in, a lot of 19th century art.

didn't know about the pennies, very cool...I guess the message is 'you can blow out his candle, but you can't blow out a bright fire"!

God bless John Wilkes Booth!

Your history is off, good effort though. JWB does not have a marker at the family plot, he is buried behind monument for his parents. The little markers are actually foot markers for the person resting there; some actually have the initials on them.

Tudor Hall in Harford County north of Bel Air Maryland is where Booths home is located.....it is open to the public and has a eerie feel to it.....

Traditionally it is NOT an insult to leave a penny on a gravestone. It is in fact a sign of respect and commemoration. The fact that it is a Lincoln head penny? Well that is the only penny in common circulation. It comes from Military Tradition. When visiting a fallen soldiers grave you leave a penny. A nickel if you served in the same War as the fallen soldier; a dime if you served in the same unit as he and a Quarter if you served in the same battle or if you were with him when he died. Leaving the penny of the grave of John WIlks Booth means those are from people who recognize that Booth died in service to his country, The Confederacy. If I were there I too would leave a Penny out of respect for a fallen solder, regardless of what side of the war he fought on. I do this when visiting the graves of fellow solders.

Wind protector for your mic dawg

That is not John Wilkes Grave. Thats a footstone..Booth is beind the obelisk, unmarked.

Interesting. Thank you.

This video has it completely wrong. 4:07 that is a foot stone which was a common practice and there is a few in the Booth plot with the initials of who it belongs to. That said stone is Asia Booth's, John Wilkes is buried behind his fathers obelisk alongside with 3 or 4 of his siblings in unmarked graves.

The statue is not a she, he is Jesus holding his foot upon the serpent.
