RE: Garrett's Barn
Richard Baynham Garrett and Edwin Booth had kept up some correspondences. RBG gave Edwin a snip (probably from the Lucinda Holloway lock) of his brother's hair. Edwin felt sorrow that his brother had brought such misfortune on the Garretts.
As far as government compensation......Not only was there no way, there was NWIH that Edwin Stanton would pay any rebel anything!.......EVER! That seemed to be made quite clear with the reward money. It could be argued (probably successfully) that at least Bettie Rollins was entitled. She freely gave up information that led directly to Jett, hence to JWB, and William Rollin led them to the front door of the Star Hotel. It could be argued that Jett should have got something for leading them back to the Garretts. The only thing any Virginian received out of this mess was contempt. Sorry Laurie the roots of my Virginia Creeper are showing. |
