RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
(12-20-2016 11:00 AM)J. Beckert Wrote: Cora Lee Garrett - Booth's "little blue eyed pet"? You got it, Joe. That is, indeed, a picture of Cora Lee Garrett. Cora was 3 years old when Booth arrived at her father's farm. John Wilkes Booth called Cora his "little blue-eyed pet" and enjoyed playing with her while he relaxed on the farm. At dinner one night, Mrs. Garrett spoke harshly to Cora and she began to cry. John Wilkes Booth comforted her and said, "Is my little blue eyes crying?". This image of Cora as an adult comes from the book History of the Garrett Family of Essex and Caroline Counties. I happily cede my point to you, Joe. Roger 10 Thomas 6 Joe 5 Dave 4 Laurie 3 |
