Biography

Early Life

Robert Lincoln graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy, then studied at Harvard University from 1861 to 1864 where he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. (Later in life, Lincoln also joined the Delta Chi fraternity.) He then enrolled in Harvard Law School. However, he did not graduate and in 1865 joined the Union Army. He held the rank of Captain, serving in the American Civil War as part of General Ulysses S. Grant's immediate staff, in a position which sharply minimized the likelihood that he would be involved in actual combat.

Following his father's assassination, in May of 1865 he, his brother Thomas (Tad) Lincoln (1853–1871), and their mother moved to Chicago where Robert completed his law studies at the University of Chicago (a school different from the university presently known by that name). He was admitted to the bar on February 25, 1867.

Presence at assassinations

There is an odd coincidence in regard to Robert Todd Lincoln and presidential assassinations: he was either actually present or very near by at no less than three of them.

The night his father was shot, Lincoln was invited to accompany his parents to the theater, but declined and remained behind at the White House. When President Garfield was shot in a Washington, D.C. train station in 1881, he was present at Garfield's invitation. When President William McKinley was shot at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York in 1901, Lincoln was present at McKinley's invitation. (He was not, however, an actual eyewitness to any of these assassinations.) After McKinley's death, Lincoln let it be known that he wanted no further invitations from any US president, as three of them had invited him to be present at their assassinations.

That didn't save him from further trauma, however. Lincoln was also present at the attempted assassination of New York Mayor William Jay Gaynor on Aug. 9, 1910. There is a famous photograph of Lincoln coming to Gaynor's aid after the shot was fired. William Jay Gaynor (1849â€“1913) was an American politician from New York City, associated with the Tammany Hall political machine. ...

In another odd coincidence, Robert Lincoln was once saved by Edwin Booth, brother of John Wilkes Booth, from possible serious injury or death.
