His mother took it as a harbinger that he was destined for great things.She got that wrong. I don't know. I'd say Edwin did rather well for himself. He survived JWB shooting the President well. He rec'd a standing ovation when he returned to the stage in 1866, toured Europe and recovered financially after the demise of his beloved Booth Theater in NYC.
