Worst Seat in the House

[RJNorton]

Laurie, I loved this book. One of my favorite chapters is chapter 8 titled "Living With A Soldier's Heart." Caleb mentions eight criteria doctors now use to diagnose a patient with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Caleb goes through all eight and shows that Rathbone seems to satisfy each and every one of them. He mentions there is a possibility that Rathbone did indeed see Booth approach Lincoln and, if true, may have had time to stop him. Given this scenario (if true, and that's a big "if" IMO) it made Rathbone's suffering all the worse. Wonderful book, Caleb!
