1864 New York City - Here's a photo of the brothers, Left to right, John, Edwin & Junius Booth Brothers 9:08 PM Jul 10th from web

1864 New York City - So far great performance. Edwin is most talented of the three. Couple of girls behind me keep twittering about John.9:17 PM Jul 10th from web

1864 NYC - I'm beginning to think John Wilkes Booth is a matinee idol. Overheard lots of women talking about him. He's not as good as Edwin.9:19 PM Jul 10th from web

1864 NYC - Haven't been on Twitter all day. Had to leave early this morning to get footage of workers at Central Park working on Saturday!7:59 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - Had strange evening last night. After performance went back stage to get close-up of Edwin & Junius. Found Edwin & John fighting.8:02 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - They were fighting about the War. John said Lincoln was tyrant & had no right to declare martial law in their home state Maryland8:05 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - Edwin said Lincoln had no choice! Virginia is just across river. On the other three sides is Maryland. If it joined the South...8:07 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC...Capitol would be lost surrounded by Confederacy. Edwin didn't understand why John was pro-slavery. They had never had slaves.8:08 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - Junius tried to break up fight. Edwin said John started it because he was mad. HE wanted to play Brutus instead of Marc Anthony.8:10 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - John said Brutus was his favorite Shakespearean character. Why does that not surprise me? Edwin finally went into dressing room.8:12 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - John turned and stomped off and ran into me. Often people don't see me until they run into me. He stopped and glared at me...8:13 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - Dear God! I was nose to nose with John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Lincoln--that kind man that shook my hand 20 years ago.8:17 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 - I felt sick. "What do you want?" John asked. Then he saw the program in my hand, "Oh, you want my autograph." He took it & signed it.8:19 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 - John Wilkes Booth shoved the program back at me, and left. Now what do I do? The City University will probably me thrilled with this.8:21 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 - I have strong urge to burn it! Instead decided to see if I could get Edwin & Junius to sign it, too. They're in dressing room talking8:23 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 - Junius is laughing, "Oh Edwin, John is just like Father. You know what a big blowhard he was when he was drunk. Remember when he...8:24 PM Jul 11th from web

...sent that letter to President Jackson threatening to kill him? Jackson knew Father & laughed it off. When Father sobered up he felt bad."8:27 PM Jul 11th from web

Edwin shook his head. "Father wouldn't hurt a fly. I'm not so sure about John. He was sober and there is real hatred in his voice."8:29 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - I did manage to get Edwin's and Junius's autographs. I wish I could tell them they should watch their little brother but I can't.8:31 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - Sometimes I really hate my job.8:32 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 New York City - Tonight is a happier occasion. This is first of the 100 Nights of Hamlet! Edwin's show will run for 100 performances.8:35 PM Jul 11th from web

1864 NYC - Even so they had to displace quite a few people, both legitimate land owners & squatters. The swamps had to be drained into ponds7:53 AM Jul 12th from web
