One more post, on one broken leg.

Quote:Did I leave anything out?

You forgot the part in which John Wilkes Booth's alien friends teleported him to India, leaving a willing and brave James William Boyd to die in his stead.

Anyway, I know there's a lot of evidence for Booth breaking his leg on stage, and a fall on the horse would not have helped matters either way. I think it *could* be possible that Booth wrote that he broke his leg in the theater to make the jump and his subsequent escape sound more heroic when he actually did break it by the horse falling on him. Just a thought. I really could go one way or the other on this one.

Quote:I agree, John. I've also wondered if Booth didn't suffer a fracture on his hard landing that was turned into a break by the horse fall.

I've wondered about this also. Interesting to think about!
