Did William Coggeshall Save Lincoln's Life?

[RJNorton]

I vaguely recall reading about the grenade incident in one of the two recent (within the past 5-6 years) books on the trip east and the Baltimore plot. Right now, my mind is drawing a blank as to either title or author.

Laurie, I think what you are recalling happened in Cincinnati. Coggeshall was not even on the train yet at that point - he says he got on in Columbus. His "grenade account" happened at Harrisburg.

I think Michael J. Kline found evidence of the Cincinnati grenade and included it in his book.
