Was not Everton the man who helped find JohnWilkes Booth or was otherwise involved in finding the details of assassination of Lincoln???

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You're probably thinking of Allan Pinkerton, Scotsman who foiled a plot against Lincoln in Baltimore on the way to his first inauguration. The story of this is amazing; with Lincoln changing his itinerary and traveling in disguise to reach Washington. Much more to this fascinating story.

Pinkerton founded the Pinkerton Detective Agency, which pioneered many modern techniques of criminology, and also provided security for Lincoln during the Civil War (but not, regrettably, at the Ford Theater after the War).

Everton is a "Football" team in the English Premier League (EPL).

My analysis of the tweet is that Don Jr. is still immature enough to use a speech recognition system for his Tweets, and then fail to edit. A bit cavalier given his position. In all seriousness, it is a challenge for children of wealth to grow up as truly strong individuals because they simply have not been challenged and pressured to do so during childhood and young adulthood. (I am sure Donald did everything he could to mitigate this issue, of which many wealthy people are well-aware.)

"Everton Judson Conger (April 25, 1834 – July 12, 1918) was an American Civil War officer who was instrumental in the capture of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, in a Virginia barn twelve days after Lincoln was shot."

For what it’s worth, I found this reference...

Everton Judson Conger was an American Civil War officer who was instrumental in the capture of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, in a Virginia barn twelve days after Lincoln was shot.

And LJ found this:

I tried to ping everyone in the conversation. I hope I didn’t miss anyone.
