RE: Booth Photo's
Do you think Booth hated General Grant? If so, it was because Grant was the leader of the Union forces? There is that incident where he sort of "stalked" the Grant carriage in the street. I think Mrs. Grant made mention of it in retrospect after the assassination. Then there is the issue of Grant thinking that Grant would be with the Lincolns on the night of April 14th- because the papers had announced it. Did Booth plan on killing Grant too? Or was he prepared to do so if Grant (had he been present) tried to stop him from killing Lincoln. Which brings to mind another question: was Booth surprised that it wasn't Grant in the box? Or had the word spread that he would not be there that evening afterall?
