RE: Interesting Observations from James O'Beirne's Diary
Was he a Baker detective? I noticed on another thread he helped Henry Rathbone into a carriage to take him home on the night of the assassination?
Also, Kees wrote this on an earlier thread, Phantoms at Lincoln's deathbed - "(2) "Tributes to Abraham Lincoln", a compilation of newspaper articles, says: Gen. O'Beirne is the only man living who was present at the death of Lincoln. He waa sent to the house as provost-marshal by Secretary of War Stanton. Also here I did not find any corroborating documentation. Was he a general at the time? So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
