Lincoln Assassination

Something that I found really interesting about John Wilkes Booth but forgot to mention yesterday was that he had individual photos of 4 girlfriends in his pocket when he shot Lincoln, and he carried them on his escape. That was back in the days when photos were a big deal.

This is a picture of the boot I mentioned in the last post that they have in the museum and they Mudd had to cut off Booth's leg to fix Booth's fracture after the assassination.

I also found it interesting to look at the photos of John Wilkes Booth and the rest of the conspirators. They are so young! The museum guard called them the Al Queda of their day!


Do you know what the Entertainment Tonight reporter asked at the theater door?
ET: Well, other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, what did you think of the play?
