Surratt House on TV

[wpbinzel]

I have rewatched the program. Roger's observation is spot on. There is no mention of the fact that the Surratts moved to the H Street boardinghouse in WDC in the fall of 1864 or that the occupants of the house in Surrattsville in April 1865 were John Lloyd and his wife. Those are facts that could have been incorporated into the narrative of the program, but were not, which increases the probability that the program was much more about sensationalism than facts. Nor does the program mention that the Historic House sits very close to the heavily-travelled Brandywine Road in Prince George's County, Maryland. Sounds and the reflection of light in the House could easily be traffic related.
