A Long Look Backwards:
Life from the Pen of Asia Booth, John Wilkes Booth's Sister
Monday, September 15
6:30pm - 7:30pm
Jarrettsville Library
Public AreaPresented by first-person reenactor and Lincoln assassination researcher Kate O’Connor, "A Long Look Backward" tells the story of Asia Booth, a woman so often torn between the expectations of sisterhood and society.
Asia Booth was the chronicler of the Booth family's greatest triumphs and most heartbreaking failures. Throughout her life, Asia recorded such moments in letters to her friend, Jean Anderson. In her writings, Asia told of her life on the family farm of Tudor Hall, her ever-changing relationships with her siblings, and the tragedy that forever stained the Booth name.
