Johns Wilkes Boothe (May 10,1838-April 26,1865) assasinated Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C. On April 15, 1865 Lincoln died from a gunshot wound in the back of his head. President Lincoln was the first president to be assasinated. After the assanation, Boothe got on a horse and fled to Maryland. A few days later, Union soldiers found him farming in Maryland and killed him.
