Thomas F. Harney

[RJNorton]

My main interest in Harney is related to the assassination. What did John Wilkes Booth know (about his capture), when did he know it (if he did), and how did he find out (if he did)? Did Harney's capture convince Booth to carry out the assassination because Harney had been taken out? Or was it Lincoln's April 11th speech (and Harney's capture had nothing to do with Booth's thinking)? Some Lincoln assassination books do not even mention Harney.
