Booth, the Garretts and an Invitation to Tea

[Linda Anderson]

A Mr. Bowie is mentioned in the article about the Garretts by Frank A. Burr in the 12/11/1881 Boston Herald.

Richard Garrett's daughter Kate told Burr, "...I remember that on the evening before he [Booth] was shot, Mr. Bowie, who now keeps the hotel at Port Royal, had called, and we were all sitting on the porch when the subject of the assassination came up. When we began talking about it Booth arose, and went and lay down upon the grass by himself."

Page 65 of the Google Books snippet version of April 65 by William Tidwell states, "Shortly thereafter, in the fall of 1863, Bowie joined Mosby's Rangers.,."

Is this the same Bowie? Was he still with Mosby in April 1865?
