Even the tiniest details, without great military or political significance, can be fascinating and make the entire story more compelling. I enjoy the illustrations of the cliff leap that Dave has on his site. Surratt's escape story, including the debated cliff leap, and the tales he told McMillan, and Booth and Herold's escape would make a terrific graphic novel that would engage youngsters in the assassination history. In fact, the entire conspiracy story would make a terrific graphic novel, or series of novels.

And we have at least one member of this forum that has done just that in a great learning tool for children. Toot your horn, Mike, for Malice Toward One.

I also want to offer an apology here. It just dawned on my feeble brain that, just because I have been exposed to these little tidbits of the big story for most of my life, it doesn't mean that others have.

Yes, it's old school to me, and I guess I have become a curmudgeon regarding rehashing of things. I now realize that others have not been as lucky as I to have been through these learning experiences before -- and a used history teacher such as I should have realized that a long time ago.

I remember now being excited as I read something new. Unfortunately, now I want to continue to read new things and get frustrated with the retelling of old things. I am truly sorry.
