In this upcoming episode of Beyond Mount Rushmore, we delve into a lesser-known aspect of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. While most people are aware that Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theater, few know about Colonel Henry Rathbone, who was present in the presidential box that fateful night. Rathbone not only witnessed the assassination but also bravely attempted to stop John Wilkes Booth, resulting in a struggle that left him wounded and traumatized. We explore the question of whether Booth could have been stopped and examine the fate of Rathbone, a man who ultimately faded into obscurity despite his courageous actions. Join us as we uncover this gripping historical narrative and reflect on the night the curtain fell. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts!
