 Ole, I totally agree with you on this one. Neither of the two scenarios is particularly exciting. I guess I wouldn't make a highly accomplished historian because I don't care that much how he fractured that bone, but more about how the injury impacted his ability to escape.

That said, I find the way Booth died of great interest. Did he have a mortal injury or could he have been saved somehow if he had received immediate, effective care? And would saving him have served any real purpose anyway, because he most certainly would have been hung if he had survived his wound?

Another question that puzzles me too is the true extent of involvement in the plot of the much maligned Dr. Mudd. Was he unfairly targeted and imprisoned at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas or did he deserve that incarceration?
