Edwin Booth [brother of the Booth that killed Lincoln] saved Robert Lincoln's [eldest son of the president] life. As Lincoln and Booth were waiting at a train platform to buy sleeping cars, the train began to move and Lincoln lost his footing. According to Robert Lincoln, Edwin Booth grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back to his feet. Lincoln recognized the famous actor and thanked him for his efforts, and Lincoln recalled the incident several times in writing and in conversation, although Booth did not know the name of the man he had saved until years later. Less than a year later, Booth's insane [in Edwin's estimation] brother John murdered Lincoln.
