The Montreal Link

[Steve]

Barry, I ordered a copy of your book. Hopefully, some of what you found can fill in some details of what happened in Montreal in regards to the CSS. Sometimes when reading accounts of the Confederates in Montreal it becomes a rabbit hole where good histories go off the rails with writers taking questionable/lying sources (looking at you "Conover"/Dunham, Merritt, etc.) to either implicate the Confederate leadership or to implicate Gen. Holt in a conspiracy to frame the conspirators/Davis; depending on the authors predilection. Hopefully, what you found will shed some more light on the subject.
