Assassination Trivia

[Anita]

Thanks for the two free hours of playing time in John Deery's Billiards Saloon. Maybe Paige and Bill can join me.

1865: Abraham Lincoln is a self-confessed "billiards addict."
Lincoln calls the game "health-inspiring" and "scientific," lending "recreation to an otherwise fatigued mind."
According to Henry C. Whitney: "Billiards, I may say, was the only non-utilitarian thing that I know of Lincoln indulging in."
