April 14, 1865
President Abraham Lincoln is shot in the head at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. by John Wilkes Booth. He died from his injuries the following day.
Weird, isn't it? When I was ten Lincoln had been assassinated 91 years. At the time it didn't seem so long. You probably knew this but Lincoln was quite familiar with John Booth who was one of his favorite actors.
