Band at the execution

[LincolnToddFan]

Thanks so much Betty, for your long and detailed reply. I am haunted most by your description of Lewis's family in the book, and the effect his participation and execution had on them. It breaks my heart. And they should have been allowed to bring their boy's remains home. What use was his corpse to Stanton, Johnson or the Gov't later?

And what became of the Branson women after he died? Let us all know when your new book is ready, please!
