Laurie and the Ghost of Mary Surratt

[L Verge]

Ah, yes - I remember that well... Not one of my favorite videos because it contains factual errors from the very first. I was also surprised when I first saw it that they had David Robertson doing much of the narration. He was the author of a terrible book entitled "Booth," which was really all about John Surratt in a fictionalized tale. The insistence of bringing the sexual theme of Mary's involvement with her priest and Booth also irritated me - especially when they edited out some of my explanations. The photos of Surratt House and Quarters 20 (now Grant Hall) are pretty good, however.
