    And it gets weirder.

    I dont remember the details off the top of my head, but a Booth saved a Lincoln at a train station.

      Yep. The oldest Booth brother saved Lincoln’s son from getting run over by a train. And when he died, he still has a letter from Mary Todd Lincoln in his pocket thanking him for saving her son.
