FYI on Stringfellow

[L Verge]

Thank you, John. I really was not aware of Stringfellow writing a book on his exploits. I only knew about the reference to what might have been Surrattsville, and I thought it was in a later letter. And, after forty years of Courier articles, I don't even remember ones that were written a few months ago! Too much information to be stored in my back-logged brain chips, I guess.

I should add, for those unfamiliar with Southern Maryland, that the distance between Port Tobacco and Chapel Point is relatively short - despite the road being narrow and winding today (as in yesteryear). However, Stringfellow would have been approaching Jones's point of crossing from the opposite direction from which Jones was bringing Booth and Herold.
