Appointment Book:
Appointment book used by John Wilkes Booth as a diary during his 12-day flight.
The diary, printed and sold in St. Louis, opens with 24 pages of reference almanac information; tide charts, train schedules, and meteorological data. Blank pages are headed with printed dates, from "Saturday, June 11, 1864" to "Thursday, December 29, 1864." Booth was in the habit of using these pages for notes and letters -- numerous pages are missing. |
