References to pumpkins date back way back. The name pumpkin originated from the Greek word for "large melon" which is "pepon." "Pepon" was nasalized by the French into "pompon." The English changed "pompon" to "Pumpion." How 'bout that?Also Shakespeare referred to the "pumpion" in his Merry Wives of Windsor. American colonists changed "pumpion" into "pumpkin." How did that 'K' get in there? The "pumpkin" is referred to in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater and Cinderella.

On April 14, 1865, while Lincoln was watching the play "Our American Cousin", Booth sneaked into the unguarded section that the president was in. Booth raised his pistol and shot Lincoln in the head, and the bullet went through his skull and stopped behind his right eye. Booth escaped the theater (although he had a broken leg), but was later found in a tobacco barn in Virginia eight days later. A pistol went off, and no one knows if Booth was killed from a soldier's bullet, or if he committed suicide.
