ʻO ka moʻolelo o kekahi o nā mea pōuliuli loa i ka mōʻaukalaʻAmelika e loaʻa nei i ka kaulana i ka wā e hoʻomanaʻo hou ai i nā hanana nui i hanaʻia ma hope o ka pepehiʻana o John Wilkes Booth i ka PelekikenaʻAberahama Lincoln i ka lā 14 oʻApelila, 1865.
ʻO ka moku'āinaʻo Maryland e pili ana i nāʻoihana hoʻolālā hoʻolālā e hoʻonui ana i ka holo kaʻa he 90 mau mile e alakaʻi ana i ke ala e holo aiʻo Booth i kona ho'āʻoʻana e pakele ma hope o ka pepehiʻana iā Pelekikena Lincoln.
Hoʻomaka ka huakaʻi ma Wakinekonaʻo Ford's Theatre, ma laila kahi i pepehiʻia ai nā snake ma waena o Maryland ākea a hōʻea i Virginia ma kahi o kahi hale kū i kū ai i kahi o Booth i hanaʻia ai pepehiʻia ai.
ʻO kaʻaoʻao o Booth kahi māhele nui o ka pūnaewele alakaʻi nuiʻo Maryland Civil War Trail. ʻO ka papa hanaʻo Booth he 15 mau kī,ʻo kēlā me kēia mea i kahakahaʻia i ka mea liʻiliʻi o ka mea kahakaha alanui e haʻi ai i ka moʻolelo o nā mea i hanaʻia ma ka pūnaewele i ho'āʻo nuiʻia e Booth e hele i ka hema i nā mea aloha e hiki ai ke hopu iā ia a alakaʻi iā ia i ke kūʻokoʻa. Loaʻa nā hanana he nui a me nā mea iʻikeʻia e ka lehulehu.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka mua o ka alahele,ʻo ia ka hale hōʻikeʻikeʻo Ford, kahi e waiho nei ma ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Wakinekona, DC. I kēia mau lā, ke mālamaʻia nei nā hana ma Ford's Theatre e hōʻike nei i ka mea i hanaʻia i kēlā lā weliweli i 1865. Hiki i nā malihini ke nānā aku ma luna o ka pahu i nohoʻo Lincoln i ka manawa i pepehiʻia aiʻo ia; ʻo ka hae nuiʻAmelika e hōʻike ana i kāna pahu.
E hāʻawi ana iāʻoe i ka hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi aʻe i nā mea a pau āu i heluhelu a lohe paha e pili ana i ka pepehi kanaka - kahi e noho anaʻo Lincoln, pehea e hiki ai i ka Booth ke komo i hope o ka pahu iʻikeʻoleʻia; a ma ka hopena, pehea e hiki ai i ka Booth ke lele mai ka pahu a ma luna o ke kahua e hoʻomaka ai kona pakele.
Inā heleʻoe eʻike i ka hana ma ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, hiki wawe, me ka nohoʻana o nā keaka hōʻani 1700, i kekahi manawa kūʻai aku i nā hana.
Aia ma lalo o ka hale hōʻikeʻike, kahi hale kiʻi liʻiliʻi hoʻi kahi kūpono e kipa aku ai. ʻO nā mea hana maoli mai Booth,ʻo kaʻaʻahuʻaʻahu a Lincoln a me nā mea'ē aʻe he nui.
Ma ke ala pololei a ma waho o ke alanui mai ka hale kiʻiʻo Ford, aʻo ka lua o ka hoʻomaha ma ke alahele,ʻo ia ka hale hōʻoki Peterson , kahi i make aiʻo Lincoln i ka wā i puhiʻia ai. Ua weheʻia i ka lehulehu.
Mai laila aku, aia i Maryland, a me ka Hale Surratt & Museum. ʻO ka hale noho o Mary E. Surratt a me ka hale kahi i hālāwai ai nā kipi e hoʻolālā i ka pepehiʻiaʻana o Lincoln a kahi i kū mua aiʻo Booth ma hope o kona pepehiʻana iā Lincoln. ʻO Surratt ka wahine mua i hanaʻia e ke aupuni pekelala no kona kuleana i ka pepehi kanaka.
ʻO ka hope aʻe o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻikeʻo Dr. Samuel A. Mudd Hale, kahi i wāwaeʻia aiʻo Booth e Kauka Mudd. Ua hōʻehaʻo Booth i kona wāwae i ka wā i leleʻo Lincoln i ka pahu ma Ford i ke kahua ma hope koke iho o ka pepehiʻia. ʻO Mudd, ka mea i hālāwai mua me Booth, i ka wā i hoʻokolokoloʻia aiʻo iaʻaʻoleʻo ia iʻike e hana anaʻo ia ma ka wāwae o Booth i ka wā i hea aku ai nā malihiniʻelua ma ka hale o Mudd i ke waena o ke ahiahi eʻimi ana i ke kōkua ma hope o ka halaʻana o Lincoln.
(E like me ka Mudd, keʻaʻahu neiʻo Booth i kahiʻaʻahu i kona heleʻana iā Mudd.)ʻOiaiʻo Surratt i uku no kāna kākoʻo no Booth me kona ola, ua pakeleʻo Mudd i ka hoʻopaʻi makeʻana a ua loaʻa iā ia ka lōʻihi o ka hale paʻahao no kona kōkuaʻana iā Booth.
Aia ma kahi mahele nani o ka'āinaʻo Maryland,ʻo ka Mudd House kahi hale kūʻai a me ka mea kūʻai makana. Aia i loko o ka hale nā'āpana waiwai nui a Kauka Mudd, kekahi o kāna mau pono a me nā mea a Dr. Mudd i hana ai oiaiʻo ia e lawelawe ana i ka manawa paʻahao.
ʻO ka hopena o ke alahele ma Garrett Farm, aia ma Virginia. Hoʻonohonohoʻia ka pūnaewele e kahi meaʻai kahakaha alanui. Hoʻopukaʻiaʻo Booth a hukiʻia mai kahi haleʻai ahi ma ka pāʻai a make ihola ma hope koke iho. Ua lōʻihi ka hale pōʻaleʻa i nā mea a pau ma ka pae he alahele alanui.
ʻO kahi'ē aʻe ma ke alanui Trail ʻO Royal Royal, ka Star Hotel, a me kaʻoi aku.
