Killing Lincoln - Nat Geo (Reactions)

[Loomings]

The "brace" as depicted in The Conspirator was put on AFTER the attack - and as a direct result. As depicted, Seward had a wire mesh jaw support at the time of the attack. All of this thanks to Dr. Blaine Houmes exhaustive research and help!

As per the diary, Booth wrote some of his final entry during the day at the Garrett farm. It will never be known if his final entry was written in the barn or not, but it does synch up nicely with Herold's testimony regarding their conversation in the barn. AND he wrote, "TONIGHT I try to escape these
bloodhounds once more." So I believe that it's likely. And, I believe that Mr. Loux concurs.
