RE: "Stump the Yankee"
Rebels 19
Yankee 8 Tell your pal when his book comes out, I'm not buying it. I'm stealing it. From your gift shop. Titus Ridgway is correct!! The Secret Line scores another one for the Rebels! Booth had a few run ins with Titus Ridgway, a strong northern man who was illiterate and had an exceedingly foul mouth. After he insulted Southerners on a ferry ride with Booth, Booth made a sarcastic remark about Lincoln. Things got worse and Ridgway called Booth a liar and grabbed a push pole with a spike on one end and threatened to run it through. Booth quickly schooled Ridgway that you don't bring a push pole to a gunfight and pulled a revolver.Several other passengers intervened and the dispute cooled off. Time for an extra point challenge. What was the name of the black man Booth almost shot for backsassing him in public?
