Booth’s Brother Saved Lincoln’s Son

Whether or whether they are always accurate, people love to talk about the strange coincidences that happened to Abraham Lincoln. The very strange coincidence of the president's son's near-death experience is just one of the bizarre aspects about the president's life that make you want to scratch your head.

Everyone is aware that John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln. How John Booth's brother Edwin preserved Robert Todd Lincoln's life is less well known. The same as his brother, Edwin worked as an actor. He was actually a great supporter of Lincoln and the Union, unlike his brother.

In New Jersey, Edwin and Robert had a fortuitous encounter during the Civil War. Of course, neither of them knew each other personally, and Edwin was visiting a friend while Robert was on vacation from college.

Robert was thrown from a train station and crashed to the ground near to the train, which had already begun to move. Robert felt trapped as he abruptly felt someone grab him and pull him back up. Even though Edwin Booth didn't know who Lincoln was, he could tell that he was an actor. Only one or two years later, John Wilkes Booth killed the president.
