RE: Booths gun
Bill beat me to the punch with Stelnick's manuscript (that's the one that I was sworn to confidentiality with after reading- as I have mentioned previously). Since he's let the cat out of the bag, I feel free to jump in.
Dixie Reckoning is highly detailed and needs a good editor to make sense out of its convoluted grammar, but if the author would ever make his sources available to anyone to verify his conclusions, it could very well set the assassination scholars on their ears. I have stopped holding my breath, however, as to when it will be published. Stelnick and I think on the same wave length as far as Judah Benjamin's involvement. He also makes ties to the New York crowd. There is also a variation of the Henson story: Philip Henson watched Booth narrowly escape the vengeance of an irate husband, and that's when the deringer gift was given. Since deringers were considered dueling pistols and were sold as a pair, there is a question as to where the second gun is today. |
