Last eye witness on "I have a secret"

[RobertLC]

I agree with Roger. Tim’s book, “We Saw Lincoln Shot,” is a must have. Tim places particular emphasis on the 1865 accounts because, again as Roger said, the later accounts became tarnished with time. Tim discusses this issue in the Preface to his book.

One final sidebar, none of the accounts that were made in 1865 (except Booth himself) make note of Booth “limping” or “hobbling” in any way, as he escaped across the stage. I know that point has been discussed before in this forum, but it is still an interesting point.
