The Lincoln Traveler

[Wild Bill]

What does this say about Mike Kauffman's contention that Booth broke his leg in a fall with his horse after leaving Washington? Food for thought. Getting on his cayuse with a broken leg is one thing but having to dismount to open a gate is quite another. As for doing it while mounted, has anyone tried that with a spooky broomtail in a narrow alley? Getting his horse to approach such a gate might have been problematic.
