Anna Surratt interview

[Rhatkinson]

I highly recommend the article in this month's Surratt Courier concerning the 1880 Baltimore American interview with Anna Surratt that concerned Gen. Hancock. It certainly is at odds with the reported history of Hancock trying to help Mrs. Surratt. I was especially intrigued by the mental torment that discussion of her mother's death still brought Anna 15 years later. I only wish she could have told the story of her last "interview" with Hancock. It sounds interesting to say the least.
