Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, 11 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: how is the play? But it's never too soon to 12 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: introduce our our compatriot, our brother in arms. Uh, the 13 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: our third half of the podcast if don't think about 14 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: the math too much.

Did you not hang out with NICKI six? 19 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: Is that true? We did? Yeah? We um I got 20 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: to high five Nikki six. I got to hear some 21 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: some great stories off air that I can't share here. 22 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: How is this high five? It was solid man, solid 23 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: high five technique. That counts for a lot. Also, just 24 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: to be clear, you mean it was a whirlwind and 25 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: that things were happening in quick succession, not that you 26 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: were in a whirlwind with Nikki six. That is correct. Yes, 27 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: we was just a very action packed few days and 28 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: Big Apple, Ah and the Big Apple. By way of segue, 29 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: New York comes up a little bit intoday's story. You 30 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: heard Noel and I alluding to the assassination of President 31 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln on April four, eighteen sixty. The President was 32 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: attending a play I think it's my American cousin at 33 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: Ford's Theater in Washington, d C. And that evening, while 34 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: watching the play, he is assassinated by the man you 35 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, Noel John Wilkes Booth. John Wilkes Booth scream 36 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: six temper tyrannis, thus to all tyrants, or thus always 37 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: to tyrants. And according to John Wilkes Booth, that is 38 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: what he shouted after he shot the president. In part 39 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: because it was associated with the assassination of Caesar However, 40 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: while we all know, at least here in the States 41 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: kind of the story of John Wilkes Booth, what a 42 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: lot of people don't know is that John Wilkes Booth 43 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: had siblings. We've been doing a lot of this lately, 44 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: haven't we, Like the lesser known siblings of famous historical figures. 45 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: Have we done more than one? I swear we have. 46 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: We did. We've done George Washington's brother, We've done Jimmy 47 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: Carter's uncle, Jimmy Carter's uncle. Now we're doing John Wilkes 48 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: Booth's brother, doing John Wilkes Booth's brother and Abraham Lincoln's 49 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 1: eldest son in a sort of a star crossed star 50 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: cross might be No, I'm good with that. I'm going 51 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: with the star cross situation where folks from different, like 52 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: diametrically opposed worlds somehow intersect to make a difference in 53 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: each other's lives for good or for ill. Right, kind 54 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: of a cloud Atlas thing. We've got the references, don't 55 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: don't know it. I would say the film is imperfect. 56 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: Book is great, you're into it. Yeah, the film had 57 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: some really bad accents. Is that a thing? Uh? You know, 58 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: the thing is part of the film takes place in 59 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: the future, and so some of those accent you're hearing 60 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: are future accents, so I you know, yeah, there were 61 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: some silly parts. The one I'm remembering most specifically is 62 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks, God bless that amazing man to his from 63 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: his bones to his soul and beyond. Has has an 64 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: accent that did pull me out of the story. When 65 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: it's in the far future. They talked about things like 66 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: the True True and the Big True True. It's weird 67 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: that reminds me, reminds me of Battlefield Earth. Oh gosh, 68 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: they say some weird stuff like that, like you slap 69 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: happy something or other, like I don't know, there's a 70 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: lot based on this scientology and absolutely, yeah, there was 71 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: a movie that Alron Hubbard wanted to get made for 72 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: a long time and John Travolta made that happen for him. 73 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: Was it forced Whittaker in that force Whittakers in it? 74 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: John Travolta is in uh, what's that guy's name, Barry Pepper. 75 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: Let's get back to the case of John Wilkes Booth's brother. 76 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: So we know that John Wilkes Booth was a well 77 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: known actor in his time, right, He was regularly landing 78 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: these lead roles at the theaters, and our Kentucky gentlemen, 79 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, our American cousin cousin, was he in it. 80 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: He was not performing in the play that night, which 81 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: makes sense because he would have to sneak off stage 82 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: right to perform the assassination. But he was known about 83 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: the theater scene right, so he was probably hanging out 84 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: at this theater and other theaters on a regular basis. 85 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: His brothers Edwin and Junius Junior love the name Junius. 86 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: I love the Junior on it. Junius Junior, Oh my god, 87 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't not even get so caught up 88 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: in Junius. That's brilliant. It's j Junius Jr. Edwin and 89 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: Junius were also actors, and Edwin was actually more famous 90 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: than his brother John, at least before the assassination, and 91 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: he was Edwin Booth was often listed as one of 92 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: the best American stage actors in history. And our story 93 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: doesn't take place, and the that fateful night in the 94 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: Ford Theater doesn't know It starts somewhere in what late 95 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: eighteen sixty four early eighteen sixty five, on a train 96 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: platform in New Jersey, Jersey City, New Jersey. Twenty one 97 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: year old Robert Lincoln was trying to buy himself a 98 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: ticket for a train journey in a sleeper car um 99 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: and he was part of a big crowd and was 100 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: kind of smushed up against the idoling train car um 101 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 1: waiting to get this ticket. And as the train began 102 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: to move, he actually he fell out of the platform, 103 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: which is a fear. They don't how they say mind 104 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: the gap, that's what they mean. That's why they tell 105 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 1: you to mind the gap, so things like this don't happen. 106 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: But he was kind of being pushed up against it 107 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: and then he lost his footing and he fell into 108 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: the tracks. Thank god, it wasn't like subway where you 109 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: hit that third rail on your toast right. Yeah, but 110 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: this still means that serious injury or death could be 111 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: in the cards for the unlucky Robert Lincoln until that is. 112 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: And imagine some inspiring heroic music playing here. Someone from 113 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: the crowd reaches out and they grab Robert Lincoln by 114 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: his collar and they haul him back up to safety. 115 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: And Robert Lincoln turns around, and who does he see 116 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: but Edwin Booth, one of the most famous actors of 117 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: the time Robert Lincoln instantly recognizes Edwin Booth. This is again, 118 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: uh a few months before he recognizes him for his 119 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: acting prowess, right, not for being related the guy who 120 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: will one day kill his father. That would have required 121 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: some sort of gift of sight, which we have no 122 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: record that he had. It's strange because history tells us 123 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: that Edwin when he later learned that the man whose 124 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: life he saved was Robert Lincoln, Edwin was pretty was 125 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: pretty happy with that because his brother was a Confederate 126 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: sympathizer right not above assassination, which makes it functionally as Harris. 127 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: But Edwin was a New York resident and he was 128 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: a huge supporter of the Union cause they had a 129 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: they had a pretty complex relationship. I mean, Edwin Booth 130 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: voted for Abraham Lincoln in eighteen sixty four, and his brother, 131 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: John Wilkes Booth was incredibly disappointed by his brother's vote 132 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: and he lectured him. And Edwin was thirty one years 133 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: old at the time of that election, but it was 134 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: his first time voting, and he felt this amazing pride 135 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: swell up inside him because he felt like he was 136 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: finally doing what an American citizen is supposed to do. 137 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: He wrote to his friend Emma F. Carry in November 138 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: of eighteen sixty four, saying, I voted for Lincoln the 139 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: other day. That is the apostrophe other the first vote 140 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: I ever cast, and I suppose now I am an 141 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: American citizen all over as I have ever been in 142 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: my heart. So here he got a little southern towards 143 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: the end there because he was moved acting acting there was, uh, hey, 144 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: do you remember the first time you voted? Yeah, I 145 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: think I voted for I think you had something stupid, 146 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: like voted for Nader or something. Do you vote your conscience? 147 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. They call that throwing away your vote. 148 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: I think it's what that's called. I don't know. I 149 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: voted for some third party like Green Party candidators, and 150 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was. It's irrelevant. Yeah, I 151 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: do remember. It was in a high school gym, not 152 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: particularly remarkable, I guess, where a lot of people vote. Yeah, 153 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: and you don't. You don't get anything when it's your 154 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: first time voting, which I was. I enjoyed it. I 155 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: felt like I was doing the right thing. Always grew 156 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: up very civic minded, but I kind of thought you 157 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: know someone would care. That was my first time voting. 158 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: But the people at the counter where your register, they 159 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: just wanted the day to be over. They were very nice, 160 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: but it's a very long day. What was it like 161 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: back then? Did you punch the ticket? You punched it 162 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: with like a little pen like okay, like it's like 163 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: a like a pokey thing on the front, isn't how 164 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: it was? Oh in my day you had to You 165 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: had to cut your hands and bleed out onto the 166 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: into your candidate of choices. Right, Yeah, that's what they 167 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: mean when they say, oh you're conscious, that's what they mean. 168 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: That's that's where the that's where the phrase drives. But 169 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: you get a sticker though, you do get something. But 170 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: everyone gets that. You always get a stick even even 171 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: back in those days, you ever thought about just getting 172 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: the sticker and not actually voting? You know? Okay, I'm 173 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: gonna share this with everyone. There's an unethical life hack 174 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: tip that I have done for years. I routinely vote. 175 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: I like the feeling and participating in these sorts of 176 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: systems and institutions, but I don't put the sticker on. 177 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: When I get sticker, I keep it your stockpile stickers 178 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: stockpile stickers just in case they don't make it for 179 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: a vote. I've never had to use it. You just 180 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: outed yourself sign that's because I've never had to use it. 181 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: I actually vote. Okay, Well, hook me up with some 182 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: of those you know. I'm a voter, dude. I'm a 183 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: civic minded guy, just like you know, the best of us. Yeah, yeah, 184 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: like Edwin Booth. Edwin indeed, So here's the thing I mean. 185 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: Edwin Booth really was kind of beloved because, like he said, 186 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: he was a Union supporter, as were his parents, Junius 187 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: and Mary Um. He was not anything like his much 188 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: more fringe e what we will look at now looking back, 189 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: more like terrorist e kind of brother, John Um. And 190 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: John was deeply disappointed that his brother voted for the Union. Yeah, 191 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: this is strange. When we say deeply disappointed, we don't 192 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: mean tis tiss. We mean that John looks. Booth apparently 193 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: became livid and said something along the lines of you fool. 194 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: One day, that man will make himself king of this country. 195 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: That's right. When we say the Union, of course, we 196 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: mean Abraham Lincoln Um and our star crossed heroes for 197 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: today's story. Well, it might seem like an absolute coincidence, 198 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: Maybe not so much, right, There's there's a little bit 199 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: more to the story, right, yeah, yeah, So we've run 200 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: into this in the past. Sometimes you'll hear historical anecdotes 201 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: that sound just too good really to to be to 202 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: be true. And this may be one of the exceptions 203 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: to that rule. We do know that it really happened. 204 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there's still some question about the particulars. But 205 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: in a letter to the editor of Century magazine, a 206 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: guy named Richard Gilder nine Robert Todd Lincoln himself tells 207 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: the story of how Edwin Booth had saved his life. 208 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: Guilder had wanted to know whether the story was true 209 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: because it had already been written about a number of 210 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: times up until that point, especially when Booth died. But 211 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: the weird thing about it is, in those days, fact 212 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: checking was not prioritized as highly as it is today 213 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: in theory. As a matter of fact, one could argue 214 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: that we're getting back to the days where facts take 215 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: the back seat to a good story. We have an 216 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: excerpt from Robert Lincoln's version of the story of Edwin 217 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: Booth saving his life, and this recollection goes as follows. 218 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: The incident occurred while a group of passengers were late 219 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: at night purchasing their sleeping car places from the conductor 220 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: who stood on the station platform at the entrance of 221 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: the car. Some intense descriptive language here, if I if 222 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: I do say so myself. The platform was about the 223 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: height of the car floor, and there was of course 224 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: a narrow space the gap between the platform and the 225 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: car body. There was some crowding, and I happened to 226 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: be pressed by it against the car body while waiting turn. 227 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: This is amazing that this is so visceral. In this situation, 228 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: the train began to move, and by the motion I 229 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: was twisted off my feet and had dropped somewhat with 230 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: feet downward into the open space, and was personally helpless 231 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: when my coat collar was vigorously seized and I was 232 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: quickly pulled up out to a secure footing on the platform. 233 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: Upon turning to thank my rescuer, I saw it was 234 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: Edwin Booth, whose face was of course well known to me, 235 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: and I expressed my gratitude to him, and in doing 236 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: so called him by name, which is a weird detail 237 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: to end on, isn't it. It's like end In doing 238 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: so called him by name. Sure did thank you, Edwin Booth. 239 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: Edwin Booth my hero. Well, it's not for your vigorous 240 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: collar pool. Yes, exactly know what I'm saying though, Like 241 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: the language is so over the top, area diet and descriptive. 242 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: I love it. So we can see the human moment 243 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: shining through here. Like imagine that you had so anything 244 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: like this, because we've all been around subways before. So 245 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: imagine that you are almost falling into the path of 246 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: a subway and all of a sudden someone yanks you 247 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: from behind and saves your life, and you turn around 248 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: and you realize, WHOA, it's Cheryl Crow or something like that. 249 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just working in a Cheryl Crow reference 250 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: here because it's been a while, or it's the Quister, 251 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: or it's I don't know, Tom Hanks, somebody. You now 252 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: have this great anecdote about a celebrity. And as we said, 253 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: for a while, Edwin Booth had no idea that he 254 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: had saved the life of one of Lincoln's children. He 255 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: just thought he was being a stand up dude. He 256 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: didn't find out about it until he received a letter 257 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: from a Colonel Adam Badeaux, a friend of Booths and 258 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: Robert Lincoln had told the colonel this story, and both 259 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: Robert Lincoln and Bideaux were members of General Grant's staff 260 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: at the time. So here's the question. This is a 261 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: little bit of myth busting. We hate to be the 262 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: party poopers in the room, but the truth is important. 263 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: Did boots action really qualify as saving Robert Lincoln's life? 264 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: Lincoln backed away from his claims a little bit later 265 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: in his years, and he said that the train had 266 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: come to a stop when he fell, so he was 267 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: only in danger of falling from the platform to the ground. 268 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: And he said, I probably would have been injured, but 269 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been seriously injured. Not that I'm not grateful, 270 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: very grateful, And I love this story. It's an amazing 271 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's an amazing thing to tell people 272 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: when I'm when I'm hanging out at dinner parties. So 273 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: maybe it was a little bit exaggerated in the beginning, 274 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: but you know what wasn't exaggerated the troubles Edwin booth 275 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: encountered after his brother shot the president. So after the assassination, Um, 276 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: I mean, dude, they had to have seen it coming 277 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, this guy was obviously espousing 278 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: all of this anti union rhetoric, and he was clearly 279 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: the black sheep of the family. But his action John 280 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: Wilkes Booths actions at that theater absolutely dragged his family 281 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: name through the mud. They were all by proxy persona 282 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: non grata. Um. He lost his brother, you know, actually 283 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: the life of his brother. Um lost his candidate, his president, 284 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: his man who he truly believed in. And he essentially 285 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: was almost personally ruined because no one wanted to touch 286 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: him with a ten foot pole because he had the 287 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: stink of his brother's treason all over him. Right. His 288 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: engagement got canceled though family of his fiancee forced her 289 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: to break it off. Jeez man. Yeah, and he was 290 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: quote stricken to the ground, and only with time and 291 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: aid of his friends was he able to make a recovery. 292 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: It's it's strange because what they're describing sounds like anywhere 293 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: from a nervous breakdown to deep, deep depression. He was 294 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: essentially on suicide watch for a while. Yeah. Um. And 295 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: even though he and his parents had absolutely nothing to 296 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: do with his brother's actions, idiologically, it couldn't have been 297 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: further away from him. They were actually arrested by federal officials, 298 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: and the public just treated them like lepers, you know, um, 299 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: all because of what John Wilkes Booth did. And this 300 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: was immediately after he was identified as the assassin. What 301 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: a rough lot man like, you know. It's terrible guilt 302 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: by association exactly. Edwin eventually makes it back in the 303 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: stage and tries to resurrect his career about eight months 304 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: after the assassination, which may have been a little too soon, 305 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: you think, for sure. I don't know. I mean, I 306 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: don't know what the time limit on that would be. 307 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: But he came back in January of eighteen sixty six. 308 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: And while Edwin was trying to put the pieces back together, 309 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: his family withdrew from public life for you and years 310 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: and years, and they continue to live with this black 311 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: mark on their social record, I guess, their socio political 312 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: record for the rest of their lives, despite being ardent 313 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: supporters of Lincoln and the Union. While this is still happening. 314 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: While all this is happening on one hand, on the 315 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: other hand, Edwin is on a mission to get his 316 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 1: brother's remains so that they can bury him at the 317 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: family plot. Pretty sad story, and it takes three years 318 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: for him to get those remains released. Brother, they grew 319 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: up together, They loved each other. I mean, obviously there 320 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: was some distance between them, but it does not There's 321 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: nothing that indicates that anybody in their family suspected that 322 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: he would do anything as radical as he did. And 323 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: we do have some documentation about the way that John's 324 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: Confederate leanings kind of put put a wedge between him 325 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: and his family members. I love the languag in this one. 326 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: So he's writing a letter to a guy named Nahame 327 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: Capin in a h U. M. Capin in eighteen eighty 328 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: one is what we're talking about right where he's describing 329 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: his brother. Okay, so all things aside, the language of 330 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: this and is amazing. Uh, Dear sir, I can give 331 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: you very little information regarding my brother John. I seldom 332 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: saw him since early boyhood in Baltimore. He was a 333 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: rattle pated fellow filled with exotic notions. While at the 334 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: farm in Maryland, he would charge on horseback through the woods, 335 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: spouting heroic speeches with a lance in his hand, a 336 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: relic of the Mexican War given to father by some 337 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 1: soldier who had served under Taylor. We regarded him as 338 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: a good hearted, harmless, the wild brained boy, and used 339 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: to laugh at his patriotic froth whenever his secession was 340 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 1: discussed that he was insane. On that one point, no 341 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: one who knew him well can doubt. What is rattle painted? Me? 342 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: Is it like being Twitter painted? Is it? Yeah? Like 343 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: so a paint would be what like your head? Uh? 344 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: But isn't twitter painted a thing? Yeah? Twitter page is 345 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: when you're very excited. When you're excited, rattle paid, it 346 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: means you're very rattled. Maybe I don't know. Yeah, yeah, 347 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: what's the context? How's it used here? Yeah? Okay, So 348 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: he was a rattle painted fellow with quixotic, quixotic notions, 349 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: So I guess that would mean quirky, lofty ideals kind of. 350 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: So maybe rattle painted. Maybe it just means kind of 351 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: a freaking weirdo. Yeah yeah, maybe a little like jittery, 352 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: that's what That's what the word makes me think of. Yeah, 353 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: like one edge right, like well, like like prone to 354 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: wild outbursts and quixotic notion. According to my very cursory search, 355 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: it means lacking discretion. Yeah, exactly. Okay, I like it though, 356 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: I love I love it. I don't know if I 357 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: could pull that off in conversation. Yeah, you might get 358 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: called out on that one, well, because then you would 359 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: have to explain it, and then people would say why, 360 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: And then we would say, well, you know, me and 361 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: my pal's do this show on the internet and we 362 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring back archaic curse words. I don't know, 363 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: and they'll just like be like, you're gonna have to 364 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: go yeah, that's like, that's a word. Yeah, in fact, 365 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: you should have to pay for the privilege of using 366 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: that word. But I love it and fearing yeah, yeah, 367 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: you know what, someone else will be able to bring 368 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: back rattle paid. Well, maybe this just isn't our fight, 369 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: but we do know that when he was talking about 370 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: his brother, you can see you can see the affection 371 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: that he felt, and you can see the distance and 372 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: the rest of his letter, which still long to read, 373 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: here is him explaining how that politics drove a wedge 374 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: between them and also how little he felt they knew 375 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: each other. In the end, he always thinks of them 376 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: as that poor crazy boy, that poor crazy rattle paided boy, 377 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: Rattle paid. That's right, and thus ends our episode, but 378 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: not our show. You're right, No, we have been. We 379 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: have been establishing a little bit of a pattern of 380 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: looking at lesser known relatives of historical figures. I'm okay 381 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: with it. I'm okay with it too. Have we reached 382 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: two d episodes? Yeah?

We're we're getting 387 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: to the precipice. This might be to oh one. I'm 388 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: not sure because I think Casey planted out that we 389 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: had released a few creature feature features in the feed, 390 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: which up to our number, but we're not going to 391 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: count those towards our towards our total.
