Fortune's Fool: The Life of John Wilkes BoothWith a single shot from a pistol small enough to conceal in his hand, John Wilkes Booth catapulted into history on the night of April 14, 1865. The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln stunned a nation that was just emerging from the chaos and calamity of the Civil War, and the president's untimely death altered the trajectory of postwar history.

With a single shot from a pistol small enough to conceal in his hand, John Wilkes Booth catapulted into history on the night of April 14, 1865. The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln stunned a nation that was just emerging from the chaos and calamity of the Civil War, and the president's untimely death altered the trajectory of postwar history. But to those who knew Booth, the event was even more shocking--for no one could have imagined that this fantastically gifted actor and well-liked man could commit such an atrocity. In Fortune's Fool, Terry Alford provides the first comprehensive look at the life of an enigmatic figure whose life has been overshadowed by his final, infamous act. Tracing Booth's story from his uncertain childhood in Maryland, characterized by a difficult relationship with his famous actor father, to his successful acting career on stages across the country, Alford offers a nuanced picture of Booth as a public figure, performer, and deeply troubled man. Despite the fame and success that attended Booth's career--he was billed at one point as "the youngest star in the world"--he found himself consumed by the Confederate cause and the desire to help the South win its independence. Alford reveals the tormented path that led Booth to conclude, as the Confederacy collapsed in April 1865, that the only way to revive the South and punish the North for the war would be to murder Lincoln--whatever the cost to himself or others. The textured and compelling narrative gives new depth to the familiar events at Ford's Theatre and the aftermath that followed, culminating in Booth's capture and death at the hands of Union soldiers 150 years ago. Based on original research into government archives, historical libraries, and family records, Fortune's Fool offers the definitive portrait of John Wilkes Booth.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Mat!
Color: Boysenberry, Style: 1/2 inch
I’ve been using this mat 4+ days a week for 2.5 months and it is durable and comfortable. I use it for yoga, sculpt, and Pilates. It’s held up during burpees, pushups, and plenty other moves that I half expected would tear the mat, but it’s held up great. It also gets wiped down with a disinfectant after each use. Still like new. Great price too!

Comfortable material, perfect size, and matches the online images!
Color: Blue Mist, Style: 1/2 inch, Color: Blue Mist, Style: 1/2 inch
This Retrospec Solana Yoga Mat is super cushiony and soft, and perfect if you're looking for something with extra thickness. The size was just what I was looking for, and I'm looking forward to using it on my concrete back porch! Comfort level 5 out of 5!
I really love the color quality of this, too. I've had several yoga mats in the past, and this one is one of the prettiest blues. The color quality was true to the product description and matched the online images.
Unboxing: It was super easy to roll out, and the packaging kept it safe from any damage.
Note: Upon opening it, it had that kind fo funky fresh-out-of-the-box smell, but it went away within just a few days.

Love it!!
Color: Rose, Style: 1/2 inch, Color: Rose, Style: 1/2 inch
i saw a lot of bad reviews after i had ordered this product so i was a little scared, but it did come with the strap to secure it which i love keeps it all rolled up together, it’s not slippery at all i also saw reviews about that the ribbed design is a bit different to my liking but it’s still very comfortable, it kind of reminds me of memory foam. The color is such a muted pink but so pretty and it’s very lightweight!! it’s definitely worth the money very good quality

Fishy but nice
Color: Ocean Blue, Style: 1/2 inch
Very large and pretty color. It’s nice and thick and the material is nice. It smells like fish. It’s like they stored it in a fish market and wrapped it up. Aside from that, would recommend.

Great Option for older, beginner workouts
Color: Gray, Style: Yoga Mat
I am a 54-year-old woman with multiple issues dealing with my weight, knees, and hips. The support of this particular mat is thick enough that there is no pain when being on my knees or lying down. It does not pinch your pressure points, causing pain as a thinner mat would. I am very pleased with the quality of this mat; it feels durable and I do not worry about my flopping around and destroying it while I learn the proper positions I need for my exercises. The length and width is sufficient for my 5 foot 11 inch height and extra girth. I was not looking for anything in particular in terms of design or color, as I prefer functionality, and this is to be used at home as a beginner mat while I start my exercise program.
