John Surratt's real parents?

[STS Lincolnite]

I have read Andrew Jampoler's excellent book on Surratt and hope to find time to read a new one by Michael Schein. I was also privileged to know Fr. Alfred Isacsson and to have him speak several times at Surratt House. However, the legalese of John's flight, capture, escape, capture, trials, etc. just goes right over my head.

Laurie,

I was interested to see that you felt that Mr. Jampoler's book was worthwhile. I had looked at finding a copy in the past, but chose not to pursue that course as the reviews were less than favorable overall.

As you felt the book was good, I will certainly reconsider getting (or at least reading) this book. That being said, I will probably wait until the release of Mr. Schein's new book on John Surratt which is scheduled for April.
