Oddities of the Lincoln assassination

[L Verge]

Here's an oddity that I have seen mentioned before (maybe in Nora Titone's great book), and am throwing out there to see if anyone has any further information on it:

We are all familiar with (and probably tired of) the story about Edwin Booth saving the life of Robert Lincoln. However, there is also a story of John Wilkes Booth saving the life of a uniformed Union soldier during the New York Draft Riots. John was visiting his brother Edwin at the time, and Edwin's home was close to ground zero during the Riots. The Union soldier had been in New York recuperating from wounds. He was also a friend of Edwin Booth. The angry mobs set upon him since he was in uniform and John pulled him away and to safety.

The man's name was Adam Badeau, and he was part of Gen. Grant's support staff - later serving as Grant's secretary. It was Adam Badeau that Robert Lincoln told the story to about Edwin Booth pulling him out of the path of the oncoming train at Jersey City.

Does that qualify as an odd coincidence?
