Booth's Stairs

[L Verge]

So was it Spangler who moved the stairs in place? That's why he couldn't hold Booth's horse.

Great comment - and sense of humor.

I am picturing the State Box with Lincoln and wife sitting in box 7, and Clara Harris and Major Rathbone sitting in box 8. Is this correct?

So far as I know, with Clara sitting on a straight-back chair just to the right of Mrs. Lincoln and the post that separated the two boxes. In some of those photos that I referred to, there even seems to be more upholstered things than just the rocker and the settee.
