Mr.Lincoln was watching the play " Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theater, Actor John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln in the head . Booth then jumped off the balcony and his spur caught on the bunting hanging off of it. He broke his leg and limped off stage to a waiting horse. Lincoln was carried across the street to a room on the second floor of a boarding house. He will linger until the morning when he dies of his wounds.
