RE: Robert Lincoln Death Threat
I've never heard this story before. Booth was the only vehement Confederate sympathizer in his family that I know of. Mr Emerson is a member here and I hope he chimes in.
I've never heard RTL's name and Booth's in the same reference very much after the assassination. He was not pleased at all when he found out Oldroyd kept a photo of Booth on the mantle of the Lincoln home while he was custodian. I believe RTL mentioned that in a letter to a niece or cousin.
