Somewhat Scary....
WHO is "James" Booth?!? One of the "James Gang?!"....and did HE assassinate Lincoln? Is he John Wilkes Booth's evil twin?

Kinda scary that this is on a site supposedly for kids to "Look and Learn...."

Nice graphic, though....

Hello Betty, You are correct in that it is a little scary that this information is being given to children. I am wondering what the artist Graham did after he realized his error. How does one go about making corrections? I imagine it will be a nightmare for all involved. Guess that is why you have proof readers

Maybe it was James Booth who was mummified and paraded around the country. That would explain so much!

This morning it looks like they have corrected their error.
Good for them!

And thanks to whoever brought it to their attention.
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
