Thanks. I never knew that. JW Boothe was a grade A. horse’s arse. Poor Robert Todd didn’t survive to adulthood, but this save was the Boothe family’s finest hour.
Robert Todd Lincoln lived to be almost 83, I would consider that to be adulthood. Republicans tried to get him to run for the presidency as late as 1912. He was present at the assassignstions of Garfield and McKinley. After that he repeatedly refused to meet with any president for fear that it would lead to an assassination.
