Dennis and everyone: Is it known for certain that this is the buggy Booth and boys were planning on using for the kidnapping?
I was under the opinion that the President would be captured in his own carriage and rushed out of the city and on to Charles County. Necessary items (like the carbines) had been sent ahead with Herold in another conveyance, so maybe it was this buggy -- if it had room to hide the rifles, rope, heavy-duty wrench, etc.???
