Cantatore and Brophy connection?

[L Verge]

Michael Kauffman used to comment on the "six degrees of separation" in relation to the Lincoln assassination. Mention one name, and you can link it to some other person or event in American history. Here, Kees shows us how an Italian "gentleman of rare attainments" is linked to John Brophy, the supporter of Mary Surratt as well as to a President of the United States. This is what makes history fun as well as educational.
