Help Obtaining Documents

[Dave Taylor]

Matt,

I highly recommend these sources:

The Lincoln Assassination: The Evidence edited by Willima Edwards and Edward Steers. Best deal is through the Surratt House giftshop for $99. This is the book format of the Evidence that Betty linked to at Fold3 and makes the website easier to use.

The Lincoln Assassination Trial: The Court Transcripts edited William Edwards. This is the most exant copy of the trial as it occurred word for word. The best free copies of the trial are available here from the Surratt House.

Though it doesn't fall into the categories you mentioned, On the Way to Garrett's Farm by James O. Hall and available from the Surratt House is one of my go-to books when it comes to primary sources regarding the escape in Virginia.
