From his early days as Thomas Corbett, to joining the Methodist Episcopalian Church to hunting John Wilkes Booth - this is the story of an un-notable Union Army soldier who became one of the greatest heroes of the Civil War. While many know the story of how was John Wilkes Booth caught they don't know the story of his killer.

Many might not also expect that this national hero would spend a year in the Topeka Asylum for the Insane or that he was a self-made eunuch. While the life of Boston Corbett is full of wild stories it is also marked with acts of bravery unlike anything else in the American Civil War. Even at the notorious Andersonville Prison Boston Corbett would make a name for himself.

And today people still wonder what happened to Boston Corbett as the disappearance and death of the man who avenged Abraham Lincoln remain a mystery.
