- Sergeant Boston Corbett CDV An
Sergeant Boston Corbett CDV An anonymous cdv portrait of Boston Corbett the man who shot John Wilkes Booth. Corbett is dressed in uniform his kepi resting to his left on a flag-draped table with a painted backdrop view of the battle between the Monitor and Merrimac. Corbett was with the 16th N.Y. Cavalry.Thomas "Boston" Corbett (1832-?1894?) was born in London England. After immigrating to the U.S. with his family he found work as a hatter in New York City. Because of his later erratic behavior some have speculated that the mercury fumes caused his later problems - "mad as a hatter" has some basis in fact.Corbett enlisted as soon as the call went out in April 1861 and became a private in Co. L 16th NY Cavalry. Captured by Mosby at Culpepper VA in June 1864 he spent 5 months at Andersonville before being exchanged and would later testify at the trial of Capt. Henry Wirz.Corbett's real "claim to fame " however is partly the result of "luck." It was the 16th NY that was sent to apprehend John Wilkes Booth on April 24 1865. Two days later Corbett's unit located Booth and Herold in a tobacco barn. Through a crack in the wall Corbett could see Booth moving and later testified that he thought Booth was going to shoot at others in the unit. So Corbett shot him in the neck through the crack in the wall. Booth died a few hours later his spinal cord damaged by the bullet.Some have claimed Booth committed suicide or that the trigger-happy Corbett shot him without cause. The autopsy showed that the shot came from a cavalry pistol effectively ruling out suicide. Whether Booth was a threat to the members of Corbett's unit is another mystery that will probably be argued for another century. Corbett did have other "incidents" later that resulted in his being declared insane in 1887 and sent to the Topeka (KS) Asylum for the Insane. He escaped shortly after and was never seen again. Some presume he moved to a cabin near Hinckley MN and is thought to have died in the Great Hinckley Fire in 1894 but no proof of that ever emerged. Condition: With penciled notes on verso.
