Have you ever heard the legend that John Wilkes Booth was buried in Guntown, Mississippi?

For generations, stories have circulated that Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, did not die in Virginia in 1865 as history records. Instead, the legend claims he escaped, lived under assumed names for years, and was eventually buried in Guntown.

The story has fueled decades of speculation, local folklore, and curiosity. While historians overwhelmingly agree that Booth was killed by Union soldiers at Garrett's Farm in Virginia on April 26, 1865, the Guntown tale continues to be one of Mississippi's most enduring historical myths.

What do you think? Fact or folklore?

Take a moment today to check your posture because it matters more than you think! When you slouch, your spine works harder, which can lead to neck pain, back tension, and even headaches over time.

✨ Quick posture reset:
✔️ Sit tall like a string is pulling you up from the top of your head
✔️ Keep shoulders relaxed (not hunched)
✔️ Screen at eye level
✔️ Feet flat on the ground

Small habits can make a BIG difference in how your body feels!
