He Shot Lincoln's Assassin Against Orders — and Silenced the Conspiracy

The soldier who shot Lincoln's assassin was ordered not to pull the trigger — he did it anyway, and it may have buried the real conspiracy forever.

• Booth was shot on April 26, 1865 — exactly 12 days after he killed Lincoln — fleeing 73 miles south on a broken leg he got jumping from the theater box
• The manhunt carried a $100,000 bounty, the largest in American history at the time — Boston Corbett's personal cut was just $1,653.85
• Booth was only 26 years old when he died on a farmhouse porch, and the order to take him alive may have been the only chance to expose who was really behind the plot
