RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-08-2016
Good try, Eva, but it's not Wallace.
Hint #1: This man actually has two "connections" to the assassination saga - once in March 1865 and again in April 1865.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Wild Bill - 06-08-2016
Walt Whitman
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-08-2016
Good try, Bill, but it's not Whitman.
Hint #2: Typically books will be much more likely to mention this man's name in relation to the April "connection." It is unlikely his name would be mentioned in relation to the March "connection."
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-08-2016
Would he be mentioned for "appearing" on April 14 or 15?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-08-2016
No, he was not physically present for either the March connection or the April connection.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-08-2016
Was he connected to one of the conspirators?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-08-2016
No, this man had no personal connection to any of the conspirators.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-09-2016
Hint #3: His March "connection" is to the March 17, 1865, failed kidnapping attempt.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-09-2016
Hint #4: Although he was not present at Ford's Theatre on April 14th he still has a "connection."
RE: Assassination Trivia - Gene C - 06-09-2016
Is this person involved in the theater ?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-09-2016
Yes, although not as an employee or actor.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rogerm - 06-09-2016
Is this person a theater owner?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-09-2016
No, the gentleman did not own a theater. (At least I do not think so. No matter what, his name would not be in the history books for this reason.)
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-09-2016
Hint #5: The man was not an American.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Gene C - 06-09-2016
Tom Taylor the playwrite for Our American Cousin ?
