RE: Booth's comments on Spangler ?
I've never seen a period photo of the rear of Ford's Theatre and Baptist Alley - but engravings in both Harpers and Frank Leslie's show what appears to be an anvil or bollard in the back - both of which could be utilized to tie a horse; which makes me wonder therefore since two separate sketch artists for two separate papers drew these images if there wasn't something of the sort actually there!
