I had that and lots of other interesting Wallace stuff compiled. His Civil War and post Civil War life were utterly fascinating. I may resurrect my work on that talk and see if I might present at one of the online Surratt Conferences down the road…

I hope you do this, I have visited his study and museum (man cave) where he wrote Ben Hur. When my son was teaching at Wabash College, his home was right around the corner from Wallace's.

Wallace also did a painting of the conspirators.
We have talked about Lou Wallace some on the form before - http://rogerjnorton.com/LincolnDiscussio...-1763.html
