That is sure an excellent guess, Gene, but that is also not the right person.
RE: Assassination Trivia - PaigeBooth - 03-15-2015 12:54 PM
Could it be Otto Eisenschiml?? I believe he wrote a rather controversial book about the assassination.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-15-2015 01:23 PM
I just wanted to post the same guess (thinking of "Why was Lincoln Murdered" - maybe he, like Cesar in "De Bello Gallico", spoke about himself in 3rd person singular?)!
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 03-15-2015 02:14 PM
Brilliant, Paige and Eva! It was indeed Otto Eisenschiml.

You both win my very best wishes for a wonderful Sunday.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-15-2015 02:20 PM
Thanks, Roger - Sunday evening...
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 03-15-2015 02:53 PM
Yes, you are 5 hours different, and Sunday is now late in the day in Kiel. Therefore, as I feel guilty in awarding such an insubstantial prize, I shall award you a different prize - the book entitled "What did Edwin Stanton Know and When Did He Know It?" No publication date has yet been announced, but I will send when it's available. I shall send Paige a copy, also.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-15-2015 03:18 PM
I'm sorry, Roger, I just wanted to delete my ungrateful comment - good wishes are always a great prize! It's just that right today I thought I might fall asleep untypically soon as I didn't sleep well the past two nights, so I had already drawn a line under the day, and your prize made me smile!

What assassination related event happened on this day 150 years ago?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rogerm - 03-17-2015 10:27 AM
Was this to have been the date of the failed attempted kidnapping of Lincoln on his way to the Soldiers' Home?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Thomas Kearney - 03-17-2015 11:13 AM
Thats right! You win a new car!

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 03-18-2015 02:47 PM
John Surratt, David Herold, and George Atzerodt took the weapons to be hidden at the Surratt Tavern. It was a close call as detective John C. Atzerodt was in there drinking at the time.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Thomas Kearney - 03-18-2015 05:44 PM
Good guess Roger! But not what I am looking for, Davey did attend this event his friend was starring in. Thats a hint.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 03-18-2015 06:10 PM
OK. Then I will say John Surratt, Louis Weichmann, George Atzerodt, and David Herold attended Ford's Theatre and saw JWB as Pescara in The Apostate.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Thomas Kearney - 03-18-2015 06:21 PM
Correct. You win a room makeover!
