The Surratt Courier

[Lincoln Wonk]

If anyone is researching Fr. Jacob Walter, who comforted Mary Surratt on the gallows, here are three or four good sources I tripped over looking for other things:
Walter, Rev. J.A., “The Surratt Case,” U.S. Catholic Historical Magazine, Vol. 3, No. 12, pp. 353-361
MacGregor, Morris J., A Parish for the Federal City, Catholic University of America Press, Washington, D.C. , 1994, pp. 168-170
Liston, Rev. Paul, “Suggested Reading,” Potomac Catholic Heritage, Vol. 27, Spring 2009, pp. 38-44
Hinkel, John V. “St. Patrick’s: Mother Church of Washington,” Records of the Columbia Historical Society, Washington, D.C., Vol. 57-59, pp. 33-43
The MacGregor book kinds of puts things in perspective.
