Boston Corbett is the man who killed John Wilkes Booth against direct orders not to, because God told him to do it. Among other crazy things, he castrated himself with a pair of old scissors, went for a walk, went to church, came home and had dinner, then decided to get medical attention all in one afternoon months after his wife died giving birth to a still-born baby girl. He threatened some high ranking officials numerous times at gun point after witnessing them mock his religious beliefs, lived decades in a hole in the hills of Kansas and the woods of Minnesota respectively and was last known to have headed for Mexico.

About

Corbett's role in Booth's death has never been perfectly clear. Some soldiers said that Booth had never aimed his gun and that Corbett was trigger-happy; other rumors claimed that Booth actually committed suicide, with Corbett simply trying to take credit. However, Corbett's claim was taken for fact in the immediate aftermath of the incident, and an autopsy of Booth showed that he had indeed been shot in the neck with a cavalry pistol.
