tell me everything you know about edwin booth. Everything

Edwin Thomas Booth was born November 13 1833 to famous and renowned tragedian Junius Brutus Booth and Mary Ann Booth (neé Holmes)

as a boy, Edwin went on tour with his father. It was not a pleasant experience for him. Junius was often drunk and out of his mind. He practically had to be babysat, and Edwin had to make sure that he sent money home to the family. He also had to stand in for his father sometimes, because the old man frequently missed performances. Edwin once said that his “childhood died” on tour with his father. Luckily, Junius contracted something on a riverboat and croaked in 1852, leaving Edwin to fend for himself in the acting world. Unluckily, now Edwin’s family was starving

luckily, Edwin had hit big bucks, big fortune, and probably some sexy girls (and guys… foreshadowing) in CALI! And came home to Tudor Hall in 1856 with like. Those guns that shoot money and bags of money and cool sunglasses and a white tiger on a gold chain and a Maserati and a Hawaiian shirt and a coconut with pina colada in. and he was like “wwwwoaaah…. What the hell happened while I was gone!?” And brought his mother and siblings to live with him in Baltimore!

Edwin had several siblings, most notably being his younger brother John Wilkes, who assassinated US President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 after the conclusion of the civil war. Wilkes was a Confederate sympathizer, and Edwin for Union, even voting for Lincoln in 1864. Edwin was not blamed for his brother’s crime, and though he briefly retired from the stage in the aftermath, he came back to applause just as thunderous, and adoration just as renowned.

John Wilkes and Edwin never had gotten along. They only appeared together on stage several times. When they lived together, they argued politics incessantly, and Edwin often kicked John Wilkes out of the house to go live with their sister, Asia, who was much more merciful. Wrongfully so. Maybe if John Wilkes stayed with Edwin a little longer he wouldn’t have killed Lincoln.

Strangely enough, Edwin rescued one very important person in late 1864 or early 1865…. Robert Todd Lincoln. The president’s son had stumbled onto thw tracks and was literally gonna die if not for Edwin’s quick thinking. Robert knew who it was, but Edwin didn’t realize, and it wasn’t until some time later when he was sent a letter of thanks by General Ulysses S Grant or something because Robert was a soldier

speaking of Union soldiers… Adam Badeau is long rumored to have been Edwin’s lover. Badeau was on the staff of Grant, and was a theatre critic and writer who first met Edwin in the late 1850s after seeing a spectacular performance . They became very close, often writing each other… he even recuperated from a severe injury received at Port Hudson at Edwin’s house. Adam writes in his 1858 book The Vagabond all about Edwin in the chapter “A Night With the Booths” where he and Adam spend the evening together in his father’s home Tudor Hall , unfinished after he died. Adam even fell asleep on his shoulder while Edwin was reading to him.

Edwin invited Adam to his honeymoon, and he was the best man at Ned’s wedding. Speaking of wedding, he was marrying Mary Devlin in 1860. He loved her a lot. She was a talented actress, and bore him one daughter. whom he named Edwina.

Then Mary Devlin DIED in 1863 :(. and Edwin was devastated . It took the will of his friends and I don’t know what else to keep Edwin from drinking, which he had kinda been addicted to, a trait he’d inherited from his not-so-dear old dad. He recovered from this death, and, in 1864, took on a feat that wasn’t broken for another 58 years. For 100 nights, at the winter garden theatre (now the booth theatre after it burned down in 1867), Edwin booth performed Hamlet . It was a sensation, never done before! And helped Edwin seal his spot as the most well known actor of the booth family. Right?

I kinda have to go but that was part one… I’ll follow it up with his later life and stuff with a reblog if you’re still interested in more (like his death and his statue in Gramercy park and his ALMOST ASSASSINATION. THATS RIGHR, stay tuned if you WANNA HEAR HOW EDWIN BOOTH WAS ALMOST ASSASSINATED IN THE 1870s by MARK GRAY!)
