Quote:Does anyone know - did Burroughs make any statement on from which side Booth mounted the horse?

All horses are trained to be mounted from the left (or near) side. Some will tolerate being mounted from the right - but it's usually a rarity and the horse will usually spook if mounted from the right. Besides, it's extremely awkward. I would assume that JWB mounted from the standard left side, putting his left foot in the stirrup to mount -
