درباره این اپیزود
Robert Todd Lincoln is remembered for one of history’s strangest coincidences: his eerie connection to the assassinations of three American presidents: his father, Abraham Lincoln; James A. Garfield; and William McKinley.
But the familiar version of the story isn’t entirely true.
In this episode of Actually..., we separate documented history from the legend, trace Robert’s encounters with three national tragedies, and uncover an astonishing twist: years before John Wilkes Booth murdered Abraham Lincoln, another member of the Booth family saved Robert’s life.
Was Robert Todd Lincoln really cursed...or simply trapped inside a remarkable historical coincidence?
