I believe that Steven G. Miller also has told some of us the story of Everton Conger's brother being a U.S. Congressman (or Senator?) who gave Clara Barton the support that she needed in getting the American Red Cross accepted and funded? He did so after she gently reminded him that she had nursed Everton back to health after his very serious war wounds. I remember James O. Hall saying that it was a miracle that Everton could ride a horse in pursuit of Booth.
