This guy is Bwana Jr.'s Great-Great-Grandfather.His name was Johnson.
He was in the Civil War, in the Union Army.
He was in Ford's Theater the night Lincoln was shot.
He helped carry Lincoln to the hotel across the street.
He got blood all over him, and the handbill from that night's performance.
This is it.

Well then for God's sakes, keep that boy out of the theaters! And away from the President- any president.
