RE: Booth's Denial of Foreknowledge of the Attack on Seward
Several years ago, while on another discussion forum, I wrote the following brief paper on Lafayette Foster. It was written in a few hours, and I make no claims that it is comprehensive. Like anything, it could be subject to revision. However, I think it shows that Foster might not have folded to the Radicals as quickly as some suggest.

It should also be noted that Foster was a vocal opponent of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War.

Best
