RE: Booth's Note to Johnson
Andrew Johnson's service as Military Governor of TN was from 12 March 1862 to 4 March 1865.
I did a quick scan and according to Art Loux's book John Wilkes Booth Day by Day, the only time Booth was in Nashville during this period was from 1 February 1864 to 13 February 1864. Loux also makes a note in the entry for 8 February 1864 that Johnson left that day for Washington, DC. February 1864 is consistent with what I have seen in the past as the time Booth and Johnson interacted. They may have crossed paths somewhere else along the line, but there appears to be only 7 days when they were in Nashville at the same time (during Johnson's tenure as Military Governor anyway). I too would be curious to know the time frame that Mary Jane Treakle may have lived in Nashville. I wonder if it there was a crossover with the dates above? |
