Background, the context is the theater. This was an act that occurred in a theater, by an actor, with other actors standing by. And i wanted to look at it through the eyes of those people. And when i was working on the president s book and i was working on the lincoln chapters, i kept coming across this iconic playbill for our american cousin. I looked at it and i kept thinking, these are real people most of whose names have been lost. I mean, if you asked people on the street who the people were involved with the lincoln assassination, certainly people know lincoln, they know booth, maybe 1 in 10,000 would know laura keene.

Theres a saloon next door on the north side, the green back saloon. There were a lot of trips to those saloons that day. Near as i can figure booth alone made seven or eight trips over there in the afternoon or evening which gives you some feeling about working up his courage for what he did. From that moment on, your world would never be the sa ....
