According official sources Abraham Lincoln really had an attempt of murder in 1861 when he headed to Washington by train to take office as President, the writer Leonard Stadd picked up this event wisely for the dramatization on Time Tunnel, otherwise if he had chosen the President's fatal day at Ford's Theatre, therefore ours friends couldn't save his life as displayed in this episode that is concerns when Lincoln's train will be passing through by Baltimore, toughly escorted by Allan Pinkerton (R.G. Armstrong) and his detective squad, after John Brown's death left behind many followers that later settle a plot to kill Lincoln (Ford Rainey), among them the brothers lead by Jeremiah Gedhardt (Scott Malowe) and Matthew (the young Tom Skerritt) Jeremiah make a rustic time bomb, Tony and Doug try hard to convince them that whole plot was clearly doomed to failure, Jeremiah and Matthew have a little brother David who finds unwittingly the bomb stashed under the depot and took away back to Jeremiah, meanwhile the Time Tunnel complex was already planned bring the bomb to be turned off, David was transported to the complex which he calls later as Cave, I've remember this episode when I was a little boy over this specific sequence when David carry on the bomb in his fragile arms calling "Jeremiah, Jeremiah" over and over, whereby echos in my head until today, how I could forget????
Thanks for reading.
