Which door did Booth enter?

[L Verge]

Mention was made above that the style of bed was known as a Jenny Lind. I have always chuckled at that nickname. As you know, Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, toured the U.S. during this period, courtesy of P.T. Barnum, who paid a small fortune to get her here.

All of a sudden beds, trunks, and other things were being named after her. Surratt House has a full suite of Jenny Lind furniture in the master bedroom, and I personally own a Jenny Lind traveling trunk. Many years ago (and I don't remember where), I saw a picture of Miss Lind's real bed -- a majestic piece of construction.

BTW: One of us original Boothies from the 1970s on, Art Candenquist of Virginia, is a leading authority on Jenny Lind and has spoken in the U.S. and abroad many times on the lovely lady.
