Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Martyr Presidents, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley: Their Illustrious Lives, Public and Private, and Their Glorious Deeds; Biographies, Speeches and Stories The fact that Booth was an actor and had often played at the theater himself, and was well known to all the attaches of the house, made it easy for him to saunter to the vicinity of where the President was sitting with his wife, Major Rathbone, Miss Harris, and others. The ushers permitted Booth to pass, although they would have stopped anyone else, in all probability, and he found his way to the box without molestation or hindrance of any kind. The guards near the box, seeing the ushers had no objection to the presence of the assassin, paid no attention to him. Having everything his own way, Booth prepared himself for the frightful deed; he drew his revolver, and with this weapon in his right hand, he entered the box.
