This was my very first video I did years ago and I still cringe when I watch it. Nonetheless you get to see Edwin Booth's grave. So enjoy!
Considered the most accomplished Shakespearean actor of his time, Edwin Booth even eclipsed his father’s fame. Born in 1833 Edwin made his professional stage debut at the age of 15 and stepped into the title role of Richard III in 1851 when his father was too ill to perform. Following his father’s death, Edwin gained his own acclaim during a worldwide tour, and Hamlet became his signature role. Considered by many to be the finest actor of the 19th century, his fame is often overlooked for the fact he was the older brother of President Abraham Lincoln's assassin - John Wilkes Booth.
Edwin Booth is buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Anemone Path, Lot 3281, Space 3. From the intersection of Mound Avenue and Spruce Avenue, look for the Anemone Path sign and walk up the step hill about 300 feet. Look to the right and you will find The Master with his first wife and infant child.
