Correct, Linda! This photograph is of Henry Riggs Rathbone and Osborn Oldroyd.

One person who knew Booth noted the change of appearance in how JWB was dressed during the afternoon and when he entered the theater to shoot the president. The person noted that in the afternoon JWB "was dressed in the height of fashion, in the picturesque costume of the day, velvet collar and cuffs." But just before the assassination this same person observed that JWB "was wearing heavy riding boots, spurs, a blue flannel shirt, and an army slouch hat."
Who was this person?

Who was this person?
Was it the stableman, Pumphrey, who saw Booth when he hired the horse and, later, when he returned for the horse?
Happy Independence Day, Roger,

I wish the very same to you, Joe, and all the folks on the forum.
Your guess of Pumphrey is excellent, but it was not him.

Taltulvull. (sic) Excuse the spelling .... am typing this on my cell phone!
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 07-03-2013
Certainly a logical guess, Betty, but it was not him.
(Vicki and I may be the only ones left who do not have cell phones.)
RE: Assassination Trivia - Laurie Verge - 07-03-2013
Ferguson?
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 07-03-2013
Joseph Hazleton.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 07-03-2013
Excellent guess, Laurie, but Joe got it. Kudos, Joe.
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 07-06-2013
Which person who was present at Lincoln's Assassination later portrayed the Great Emancipator on film?
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 07-06-2013
Good one, Betty! Being only a few of the actors lived into the film era, I'll guess Joseph Hazelton.
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 07-07-2013
Good answer, Joe -- but that tain't it.....
Hint - He wrote a book as well....

William Ferguson, "The Battle Cry of Peace" 1915
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 07-07-2013
Great! You got it Blaine! "Battle Cry of Peace" 1915.... I'd LOVE to see a copy of this movie, but supposedly it's lost -
RE: Assassination Trivia - Hess1865 - 07-08-2013
According IMDB Ferguson was the last surviving cast member of 'Our American Cousin' from the night of April 14, 1865
Ferguson lived from 1845-1930
