JULIA DENT GRANT: "FAIR, FAT, AND FORTY" PART I: you are right Mr. Cooper

» FortBrooke1824 - you are right Mr. Cooper

You are right Mr. Cooper about the last minute plans of Lincoln on his assassination day of April 14th. In fact Booth will not learn of Lincolns plan until he talks to a fellow actor. Under the search Lincoln assassination i found a really neat site one that also had John Wilkes Booth diary and hour per hour accounts of Booths movements and actions. It is interesting to note that according to Booth he passed Grant's carriage that day. Booth who had been again outraged on Lincolns speech on equal rights decided at that moment to kill Lincoln. While i do contend that Booths sole target was Lincoln had Grant been present Booth had enough time to include him in his plans. ie Booth had at least two different talks with his confederates during the day of April 14th. I did not find reference to this at this site, but will during the week try and find where i found that information, regarding Booths desire to kill Grant.
I believe that i said in the post before last that Julia Grant had told Grant to his face that she did not want to go to Ford's theater. This was not a fact nor a reference but only my reading in between the lines after being insulted by Mary Todd.
