Harney, and his Story

[Gene C]

I know very little about these other plots except for what I read here on the forum.

My first impression is that Harney's plan to blow up the White House is half baked, and not to put to much credence into it.

Come Retribution makes some sense, although the detail was a bit confusing to me, and it's been so long since I read it.
Interesting to speculate, were these plans made for Booth and his group, or some one else. Who decided to authorize the attempts and who may have decided to pull the plug on the attempts (if anyone)
150 + years after the event, I'm doubtful we will ever know.

Interesting to see how the theories on the over all scenario shifts from deep confederate plot to kill Lincoln back to one fanatic and his few followers (2-4, depending on if you include Mom and Jr. Surratt) acting on their own.
John (SSlater) I would like to read more on what you have found. I enjoy these discussions and you all sharing your finding with us. (even though at times I find it somewhat confusing)
I also find it interesting on who is a credible witness, so many people claim to have some knowledge, to have seen or heard something. Then the fading and changing memories caused by age of many witnesses that were at one time very credible.

If Booth had hadn't been such an egomaniac, he might have been able to get away with it.
I guess he had to be an egomaniac to ever attempt it to begin with. (I need to go back and re-read the thread on Booth's Mental Health)
