The Surratt Courier

[RJNorton]

Kudos to Wes Harris on his excellent article in the current Surratt Courier. The article is entitled "Booth's Spencer Carbines: The Best Weapon He Never used." I particularly enjoyed reading about developer Christopher Spencer's visit to the White House, and Abraham Lincoln's subsequent shooting of the weapon on ground now occupied by the Washington Monument. Spencer proved to be better at hitting the target, but Lincoln actually did quite well.
