John Wilkes Booth was the last generation of a brief line of early doctors pre-dating Trichology who specialized in scalp-related ailments, as the Native-American threat of "scalping" of the time was somewhat prevalent. As the threat of "Indian attacks" diminished, the Booth family went on to market their patented "head photography stalls" to capture images of people's smiling faces instead of their scalp traumas. Today, their invention is known as simply "photo booths."

Young John, being an Entomophobic, was exposed to many cases of headlice as it was a common condition of the times and one that his family's business encountered regularly. Due to his undiagnosed condition, John developed an overzealous desire to kill headlice on site.

History would show that the two men's paths would cross in a tragic way.
