Has anyone seen an advertisement for Surratt's Rockville and NY lectures? I read the one for the DC lecture, which was cancelled, and one of the headlines was "His life among the Papal Zouaves". He made no mention of the Zouaves or any of his time in Europe in the Rockville lecture, except to say, "...I concluded to seek asylum in foreign lands." John's cliff leap was known to the public and I would have thought he would have included it as part of his "thrilling" adventures. Lipman was in the audience in NY lecture, and said in the newspaper article that, "....the most curious part of the story is, that when I attended a lecture he gave in this city in 1870, he singled me out among the audience and embraced me with gratitude."
