Best Generals in US History?

[L Verge]

I believe that I am correct that few bedrooms in homes or hotels had closets during this period. And if they did, the closets were not very deep. Clothes were hung by the neckline, not on hangers. Armoires might have been in a reputable hotel like the Kirkwood. They were not very deep either, but a tiny little girl like Ella was reported to be might have fit into one, if she removed her hoops and flattened them.

However, I'm a romantic and would like to think that Booth had no intentions of shoving Ella into a sexual encounter with Johnson. If she were indeed part of his plan, I think she would have been there for "conversation" purposes to make sure the VP stayed where he was supposed to be when targeted. Sort of tease, but don't touch...

Also, fancy women usually wore heavy perfumes in that day. Wouldn't that have been noticed and commented on by someone who happened to walk in during Johnson's dalliance? Or, was that just one more thing that had to be covered up.

It just dawned on me that some of you may not know the title of Jerry's controversial (but thought-provoking) book -- Look for A Threat to the Republic.
