Between this wonderful forum and Dave's equally wonderful blog, you will get the best edumacation on the Lincoln assassination (and related topics) that you could ask for -- and it's all free!

The reason that I'm preaching about the Barn again is because of a current post in response to an inquiry made by our Eva to Dave about John Surratt's escape from his captors in Veroli, Italy. Dave's reply is very good, and he utilized material from the new book by Michael Schein entitled John Surratt: The Lincoln Assassin Who Got Away. Mr. Schein is very detailed in his retelling of "The Leap Into Legend" with good citations dating back to 1867. He also addresses other variations of the story that don't hold water. The entire book is equally well-done.

The reply was truly terrific - great and fascinating information! Thanks this way again, Dave!
For those who are interested in Surratt's "but leap":
