RE: Booth's Horse Fell....
Not to be facetious, but what was with the clumsy horses JWB and Powell were riding?
Supposedly Powell's one-eyed pacer also fell while attempting to jump a ditch (see Steer's The Evidence; as well as Cleveland Leader 05/05/1865). Powell's horse also had a bruised/cut shoulder as well as being lame when found by John Toffey....Powell himself had a blackened eye and a bruised lip as well as being knocked out (according to what Powell told Gillette).
