But he was lying his ass off. They checked all the names of the people attending the theatre in 1865, and he wasn't on any list, nor was his godmother's name. There were no small children in the theatre that day. The fact that he came out with his story first at age 94 should have given everyone a clue.

"Was it a pleasant thing?" "Not very pleasant, I don't think." That's certainly one way to describe witnessing an assassination! This man was a hoot.

From horseback as the fastest way to get from point A to point B to a rocket to the moon! Buzz Aldrin was 39 in 1969 and born in 1930. If the first rider of the Pony Express was 20 years old at that time in 1860, he could have met a 5 year old Buzz Aldrin in 1935 while he himself was 95 years old. One year less older than this man!

We all can say that about any reasonably long life. I was a year old when this was broadcast. KKK were still lynching folk. The British Empire still thought it was an Empire. There was nothing much to speak of in space and personal computers weren't even on science fictions radar. The Cold war was still a thing and America was still living in it's post war boom. We had, and still have South American Death squads backed by the CIA. The world was collectively shitting itself at the thought of a nuclear holocaust, and then the Cuban Missile thing came along and some folks really did shit themselves. Many folks who really should have known better still thought that Communism/Marxism was going to save humanity from the Capitalist running dogs. Then we read the Gulag archipelago and found out (eventually) the true cost of Chairman Mao's Great Leap forward. We saw the advent of mobile/cell phones and information gathering on a scale that would have had J. Edgar Hoover creaming his favourite dress in delight. We are seeing the subtle and not so subtle ploys of the Chinese and the Russians to foment dissent and destabilise the western hegemony. We see the rise of Neo Marxists latching onto every conceivable cause in order to gain a political ascendancy. We are reaping the benefits of decades of wilful denial regarding our impact on the planet. The seas are full of that wonderful substance that was so going to improve the quality of everyone's life. The air is full of the shit from all those day trips to the coast. The internet is full of trolls and scammers and people you definitely would not want to take home for dinner. So yes, he saw some changes. Well... so have we all.

ColasTeam no shit, you know what I meant. The land they had probably was country you guys call “America “ to them. But we will never know because the Europeans were aliens to the natives and didn’t speak their language most were killed and forced to move else where.

And 2 months 4 days later he passed away. I guess it was destined that he share what he saw with the rest of us...may Mr. Seymour Rest in peace!

He died on April 12 and Lincoln was shot on April 14 could have been a weird coincidence if he lived for 2 more days

I don't think destiny's got anything to do with a 96 year old dying, no matter how it's timed lol.

I had an idk how many great, great-aunt that was born in 1880 and in 1986. I loved hearing all the stories she would tell about history. It was better then any history book I've ever read in my life.

What an amazing human. I know that, “it is what it is,” but to have witnessed such an event would have been profound.

"was this person a president?" Mr Seimour: "I think he was once, yes" I'm a huge history nerd but the thing that I value most in my studies is that I discover that there always existed people who had a good sense of humour.
