RE: Reward amounts
(04-03-2013 04:14 PM)Lincoln Wonk Wrote: I've seen several different reward amounts for Booth specifically in books and on reward posters. Does anyone know if the definitive April 26 price on Booth's head alone was $50,000, $75,000 or $100,000? Sources seem to disagree. Dropped by to see what was happening and noticed this thread. There were a number of rewards offered for Booth's capture by various agencies, but the one most people are familiar with is the $100,000 offered by the war department. Of that $50,000 was offered for Booth, $25,000 for David Herold and $25,000 for John Surratt. When the members of the 16th New York Cavalry and Everton Conger and Byron Baker battled for the money after Booth's capture, the amount in contention was $75,000 (the amounts for Booth and Herold). Here's the link to the article I wrote on the rewards.
