RE: Where was John Surratt on April 14, 1865 ?
Dion Haco's Surratt Diary is what was popularly called "yellow journalism" or a yellow-backed novel" (so called because of the color of the paperback covers) which was supported by the "Penny Dreadful" press - i.e. it was pure spectacular hack fiction sold for profit - not a word of truth in these things. I collect them for fun and you can find most of them online. My favorite is "The War Detective", a hack novel in which Powell is the leader (not Booth) behind the entire Conspiracy....
