Booth in Boston

[KianGaf]

I was watching a show about the Parker House hotel in Boston and one anecdote stated Booth stayed in the Hotel before the assassination of President Lincoln.

As a well known actor, I assume Booth traveled extensively and stayed in a great many hotels throughout the country.

It's great to see such historic places still operating. I love establishments with rich history attached I try to seek them out when traveling.

The Parker House is the home of Boston Cream Pie and (of course) Parker House Rolls.

Abolitionist Frederick Douglass spoke there in 1873.

Never had a Parker house roll. They look good. I've been to a few hotels here that claim Douglas was guest on his tour to these shores I must delve more into his visit.

Perhaps Mr. Douglass spoke in as many places as George Washington slept!

Looks similar to French brioche but perhaps doesn't taste the same.

Seems like there's a work of fiction/screenplay here, just waiting to be written.

The recipes are similar--I think that so many breads/rolls are really just variations on each other. But, if you can't face all that fussing, there are simpler recipes online. And it makes a culinary trip to Boston a must!

My first visit to Boston is in March for St Patrick's day. It's only a stopover for two nights on route to Minneapolis but should be good. Can't wait to try the chowder and lobster rolls that the city is famous for.

FYI: St. Patrick's Day is also British Evacuation Day.

He showed up in many, many small towns, including the Oil Region in northwest Pennsylvania. The following is taken from the Ann Arbor Register, 30 April 1896, regarding a hotel stay in Meadville, PA, in 1864.

My lovely wife is from Lynn. That was where Douglas lived there for eight years if I remember right.
