Abraham Lincoln's Speech to the Indiana Volunteers

[RJNorton]

Thanks Steve. Great stuff in that speech. Is that the event that sidelined Lincoln away from some other event that he was going to attend originally that JWB was going to capture him before Lincoln arrived there for?

Yes. Booth thought Lincoln was going to attend a production of the play Still Waters Run Deep at the Campbell Hospital near the Old Soldier’s Home on the outskirts of Washington.
