If you're looking for something interesting to watch on the history channel and you don't care about facts, this is the show for you! They don't even bother fact checking their own BS before they present it on screen. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they can make assumptions and what ifs based on theory, but read a dictionary morons!
They present a theory that John Wilkes Booth faked his death by interviewing biased descendants of his family members. One of those, Joanne Hulme is incorrectly listed as his direct descendant, even though she is the great granddaughter of his sister. Basic genealogy suggest she wouldn't be J. W.'s direct descendant unless he and his sister had an incestuous relationship!
Brad Meltzer should get at least some facts straight, or at least read a dictionary. That's basic elementary school mistakes, and this guy works for the history channel. Make sure you're always checking "facts."
