WARNING: Investigator Slater barely made it through the recording of this episode. It’s a wild ride, so fasten your seatbelt and prepare yourself—this conversation takes some unexpected, "unpredictable" turns. So the real question is: Other Than That Mrs. Slater, How Was The Podcast? On a crisp April evening in 1865, the play Our American Cousin was set to impress a full house. With President Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, in attendance, the air was electric with excitement. But suddenly, the sharp crack of a Derringer pistol shattered the atmosphere, and a .44 caliber lead ball lodged into the back of President Lincoln’s head, irrevocably altering the course of history in an instant. While history has rightly fixated on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the peripheral figures in that fateful theater box bear their own harrowing, often overlooked stories. The gripping tale of Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris, forever intertwined with the brutality of that night, is one of heroism, relentless trauma, and the insidious toll of mental decline, PTSD, survivor's guilt, and, tragically, murder.
