You reminded me of the time when Booth was trapped in St. Joseph due to the terrible winter of 1863 thru 1864. Although Booth was pressed for time to get to his next engagement, your comment has made me wonder if maybe Booth's hurry to leave was partially in search of more action. Do you know what St. Joseph was like during the time Booth was there? Have you ever heard any stories about Booth becoming "bored" in his adult life?

The only thing I know about St. Joseph is its Pony Express history, and it was practically defunct by 1860. Booth died at such an early-adult age and was so busy doing theatrical work and (maybe) Confederate work that I can't imagine he would allow himself to get bored.

Now, if you asked me about the early years when he was left pretty much alone to take care of the farm, his mother and sisters, I can see boredom setting in then.
