Historical facts are great. IF they are researched and printed as such.
I don't believe every thing i read and only half what i think i see. As a
kid in school we never were given all the facts about .The history of important black leaders, Inventors,Doctors,Soldiers, American Indians, Chinese, Ect. Discrimination came in all colors except white.As to Rebs comment above. He's wrong about John w. Booth. He was very successful as a actor and very poplar at the time. IF what i have read about him is truth and nothing but the truth. But that is lost in History except for written publications about him.Based on whom's word?This story about his brother saving Lincoln's son's life. I tend to
believe only that he pulled him from a POSSIBLE danger. Had he not
had help getting his feet above the platform. I have seen acts of bravery and i have seen acts of fast action. This was a act of Fast thinking. And it warrants a true feeling of bravery by Lincoln's son as
anyone in his predicament would feel the same. But Bravery in my
opinion is when you are anyone is in Interment danger of losing their
own life in the process of saving yours with out hesitation. Such as the
Soldier that jumps on a hand grenade to save his buddy's life's. This is Bravery.

It seems that John Wilkes was not a good actor and received very poor reviews. Given his Father's fame, had he even a modicum of acting talent he should have been very successful.

I can't say as to Lincoln's living descendants, but George Washington never had any children, let alone grandchidren or surviving descendants. He did have at least one stepchild, who was a child of Martha Washington from an earlier marriage.
