Lincoln Kidnap Tries

[Rick Smith]

It is a shame that Barbee's papers have not been published. Those which I read while at the Lauinger Library contained some fascinating material. There are many boxes of typed manuscripts enclosed in black binders. Barbee mentions so many people by name and cites their association with the Lincoln assassination. It gives an indication of the numbers of people working on the periphery who are never heard of. The only other place I have heard many of these names is in Bill Richter's, The Last Confederate Heroes. Barbee's papers are an important collection and should be published. Wonder what the cost would be?
