RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-01-2021
No, much simpler!
RE: Assassination Trivia - AussieMick - 09-01-2021
During Mary Lincoln's trip to Europe?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Anita - 09-01-2021
Mick and I are on the same thought path! I was thinking Grant or Mary Lincoln since both were in Pau, France. Maybe the Chateau de Pau?
RE: Assassination Trivia - AussieMick - 09-01-2021
But, Anita, it has to be external to the EU ... I dunno ... Scotland ?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Anita - 09-02-2021
Mick, I thought about Scotland. Maybe Germany. Eva, a hint please. Was the remark made before or after the assassination?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-02-2021
Hint 1: This is the city (what is that now? It's not just any crosswalk):
Hint 2: Not Mary nor the Grants - think confederate.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-02-2021
It looks like the road on the cover of a Beatles' album. I do not recall the title, but the cover showed the Beatles walking across the street. Asia Booth Clarke lived in England after the Lincoln assassination. Am I on the right track?
RE: Assassination Trivia - AussieMick - 09-02-2021
Abbey Road, Roger. Its a zebra crossing in London. St John's Wood (Suburb)
Eva said the picture she posted or where the deja-vu happened was a "Lincoln" building .
There have been a few 'myths' associated with that photo ... probably no help with Eva's question

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-02-2021
Brilliant, the place is in London (yeah, yeah, yeah)! The person I'm afraid is not Asia Booth.
Hint 3: Think of other confeds that in the aftermath of events (not 100% "narrowly" assassination related, more indirectly) went to London.
Hint 4: It's the name of the place in the photo that likely caused the déjà-vu.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-02-2021
Does it have to do with Judah Benjamin?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-02-2021
Exactly, Roger - the first point goes to you. Now there's the "what about" left to find out.
RE: Assassination Trivia - AussieMick - 09-02-2021
Judah Benjamin went to London and worked as a lawyer. The main location for that occupation was (is) Lincoln Inns Fields.
Is that the deja vu ? ( I dont know about the Abbey Rd and zebra crossing connection though)
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-02-2021
Correct, it is the Lincoln's Inn. Before he could work in England, he had to undergo qualification and being called to the bar - for that he enrolled at the Lincoln's Inn. It must have felt like a weird
déjà-vu to Benjamin to go back to apprenticeship moreover in a place bearing that name of his former "rival" (which, of course, doesn't derive from Abraham Lincoln but from Henry de Lacy, 3rd Earl of Lincoln).
Abbey Road was the hint that just was to lead you to London!
Your prize is this beautiful song from "Abbey Road":

Well done, everyone!
RE: Assassination Trivia - AussieMick - 09-02-2021
My very first job was as an office boy working for a printing firm in Chancery Lane which is next to Fleet Street, then home of all London-based newspapers. ... and many of my deliveries meant shortcuts around Lincoln's Inn. I didn't recognize it from the photo.
St Johns Wood apparently has a large synagogue and there is a big Jewish population in that suburb, so there's another deju vu link to Judah Benjamin.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 10-09-2021
On the day of the assassination John Wilkes Booth asked a person whether the current year was 1864 or 1865?
To whom did Booth direct this question?
