RE: John Wilkes Booth was shot with a pistol! But where?
Thanks Roger. As I pondered this incident in Booth's life, I'm once again hit with the realization how at certain points in history things could have turned out so differently and had such a dramatic change in the course of thigs. If Booth had been accidently killed, then it may be fairly reasoned that Lincoln would not have been assassinated. How different would Reconstruction and the events following it afterward have turned out? As it was, Booth experienced what it was like to be shot by a weapon. I do wonder if the shooting had any impact at all in his eventual decision to kill Lincoln with a pistol.
