History Channel Lincoln Assassination

[Laurie Verge]

Several of us have spent years trying to convince the media that the story of the Lincoln assassination and the escape of Booth is an American epic in its own right. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Erik Jendresen has captured this with the Nat Geo production. It will be ironic if it took Bill O'Reilly's "history" to encourage that the story be told accurately. It might prove that one can really "make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."
