Mosby's Men in Southern Maryland

[Gene C]

I have always wondered in regard to the kidnap plot...How quickly could union forces go after the fleeing felons, and in what size of force. Were there enough confederate forces nearby to slow the pursing union forces and aid the kidnappers in getting away with the president. Seems to me, over the years, anyone involved in helping Booth escape (Mosby's forces?) would have said something. Enough of the others in southern MD told their tales years later. Maybe Sec. Stanton was right after all!

Looks like I have another book (Come Retribution and April 65 by William Tidwell) I have to go back and read again.
