I read that he wrote a confession over a 3 day period during the conspiracy trial and that it was lost. What are the prevailing theories as to what happened to it? Wouldn't it be amazing to read Davie's take on booth and their experiences on the run.......

Thanks!

Harold did leave us a Statement, I don't have it handy, but he starts out " We came out of the Nanjemoy at sundown, passed within 200 yards of a gunboat and landed on Mathias Point,"

I can add to that, that it wasn't a Gunboat, it was a Lightship, and if he made that short a trip, he landed at Cawood's Camp. Cawood wasn't here, so he got back in the boat and went around Mathias Point, (to the next Lightship), at Gambo Creek.
