Booth's crutch

[L Verge]

If I remember correctly, Lucinda Holloway had been Miss Maude's teacher? Miss Maude used to also tell us about the bloody floorboards from the Garrett porch having been removed and stored in a shed at the farm. The boys of the family and neighbor used to retrieve them and chase after the girls, threatening to touch them with the assassin's blood.

I believe that Miss Maude was in her early-80s when we first met her, so she would have been born before or shortly after the turn of the 20th century. I think I have posted before that she took several of us to her home once. It was like a Confederate museum, and she showed us a portrait of her grandfather, whom Lee had supposedly declared the handsomest general in the C.S.A. Ladies, he was a hunk.
