Program on C-Span this weekend

[SSlater]

I happened upon "Killing Lincoln" today. on National Geographic. If you missed it, you didn't miss anything. It is strange, why doesn't some one know what a Tobacco Barn looks like. Some scenes were sanitized, I guess for little folks - there was no blood on Booth's head rest. (Nice clean pillow). There was no problem showing the conspirators - all close ups are original photographs. The scene in the barn, looked like someone's parlor - all neat and clean. Lots of room to run around in. Right in the middle of one scene, Booth drops. _ no explanation. etc. After the war, Garrett sued the U. S. Government for the personal possessions that burned in the barn. That barn had to be PACKED. There is a report of that of the suit in The Surratt Research Library. They would have been paid, if they could prove that they were loyal to the North. Most of the entire show, was various people Talking about the "incident". ANYONE on the forum could have done better. It was dull.
