The Lincoln Assassination, Part 4
But obviously logic wasn't foremost in
the mind of John Wilkes Booth; at 10:13 PM he entered the Presidential box at
Ford’s Theater and from a distance of about four feet shot Abraham Lincoln once
behind the left ear, the projectile lodging behind his right eye. The President
died at 7:22 the next morning. As Booth was to write in his journal, “Our
country owed all her troubles to Lincoln, and God simply made me the instrument
of his punishment.”
