Booth shot Abraham Lincoln from behind around 10:15 p.m. on April 14, 1865. He died the next morning, April 15, at 7:22 a.m. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack will uncover the track that Booth took as he tried to escape, and finally being shot himself.

The farmhouse of Dr. Samuel Mudd, where both John Wilkes Booth stopped to have his broken leg set after shooting President Abraham Lincoln, is shown near Beantown, current day Waldorf, Md., March 1, 1961. Booth and accomplice David Herold showed up at Mudd’s farmhouse at 4:00 a.m. on April 15, 1865, eight hours after Booth shot Lincoln. Booth and Herold rested in the room behind the upper right window after Dr. Mudd set his broken leg. Dr. Mudd’s insistence that he did not recognize Booth failed to save him from conviction and ruin.
