Oddities of the Lincoln assassination

[Rhatkinson]

Jim's post in an earlier thread about the benefits of books like O'Reilly got me thinking of an interesting topic for the board.

What are your favorite/most intriguing facts or oddities of the Lincoln assassination? I'll start with a few of mine:

1. Lincoln's body was autopsied and embalmed in the current White House room (the old Prince of Wales Room) where First Families since Truman have eaten their meals (the current family dining room.)

2. (As Jim noted) JWB lounged/napped in the very bed where Lincoln would later die in the Petersen House.

3. Robert Lincoln once saved the life of Edwin Booth by helping him off a train track just before a train arrived.
