Yes, I'm an old-timer who sticks with the belief that Booth broke his leg at the theater and that, even if his horse fell, it only aggravated what was already broken.

I agree with Laurie. He broke his leg and needed medical attention. How he broke his leg is a detail of somewhat minor consequence. Fun to discuss, but not a key issue like: was Booth in competition to see who could kill Lincoln first, why did Booth hide out in India, or why would you name your son Beverly (Tucker)?
