Why is it ironic that John Wilkes Booth's brother saved Robert Lincoln years before?

Actually, you have the story wrong. It was Lincoln who saved Booth one afternoon as a train was coming into the station and Booth was being pushed onto the tracks. Lincoln reached out and grasped his shirt saving his life. This was several years after John Wilkes had shot his father. Yes, it is pretty ironic and one of those bits of history where there are connections. Here is another one. At Harpers ferry Booth was a young union solider, his commander was Robert E. Lee, and Grant was there as well. Booth can also been seen in the front row at the Lincoln swearing in in 1860. All of history connected and not just bits of this and that.
