Killing Lincoln - Nat Geo (Reactions)

[John E.]

Quote:I just saw Killing Lincoln. Not bad! One question I have seen posted or mentioned I think at some point on here is about the Booth autopsy picture. Wonder where it could be? After all Dr. Leale's report turned up as well as a copy of Lincoln's death photo in Illinois. Any thoughts? Thanks-Danny Wes[/font][/size]t-

There is no other relic I'd rather see than the autopsy photo - if it exists. However, I don't believe the story about James A. Wardell. Unfortunately, sections pertaining to the conspirators in Mark Katz's book "Witness to an Era" are filled with unverifiable information. In other instances, claims are either completely fabricated or primary sources are dubious themselves.

For years, I treated the book like a mini-bible regarding Alexander Gardner but not so much anymore.
