AMERICAN GOTHIC:THE STORY OF AMERICA'SLEGENDARY THEATRICALFAMILY -- JUNIUS, EDWIN ANDJOHN WILKES BOOTH.Gene Smith.Simon & Schuster.320 pages. $23. As the Civil War wound down, an actor boasted that he was about to astonish the world. "What are you going to do?" inquired his listener. "Kill Jeff Davis, take Richmond, or play Hamlet a hundred nights?"There was no reply. The performer would hardly want to murder his hero Davis, and taking Richmond was out of the question. After all, he was only one disgruntled Southerner, with a few like-minded colleagues.

Since the days when Junius Brutus Booth had Tudor Hall built in 1847, people have journeyed to the property for a glimpse into the lives of its famous first owners and their dream digs. Some people want to know about the Booths, the first family of American theater, while others are drawn to the architecture of the house that was built by James Gifford, the same man who built Ford's Theater. "Tudor Hall is a place that makes history come alive for people," said Dinah Faber, a Booth historian.

1891: Edwin Booth's last performance On April 4, 1891, after nearly 42 years onstage, Edwin Thomas Booth, one of the best-loved American Shakespearean actors of the last half of the 19th century, gave his final performance. Afterward, there were so many waving admirers outside of the Brooklyn Academy of Music that police had to clear a way for Booth's carriage. Edwin Booth, famed for the role of Hamlet, was born Nov. 13, 1833, in a log farmhouse near Bel Air, where in 1822 Edwin's father, English actor Junius Brutus Booth, had established a summer home.

Sandwiched in the drywall of a farmhouse and caught between historical preservation and commercial development is a log cabin no one can see. Yet its murky historical background has created a bit of controversy. Since the 1800s, the log cabin has been a point of county pride and infamy: It was once home to great American actors Junius Brutus and Edwin Booth, as well as assassin John Wilkes Booth. Or so area residents believed, until a historical architect and a historical writer questioned its origin.
