33. John Wilkes Booth’s Brother Saved Robert Lincoln
Not too long before Robert Todd Lincoln’s father, Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated at Ford’s Theater by actor John Wilkes Booth, Edwin Booth, actor and brother of John Wilkes Booth saved the life of Robert Lincoln. Robert and Edwin were on a train platform when Robert fell on the train tracks right before the train was about to take off. Edwin was close-by and saw Robert fall, so he reached down and grabbed Robert to save him from being hit by the train.
