History Channel - Booth's Pistol

[STS Lincolnite]

I was watching an older documentary on the Lincoln Assasination this weekend (btw, I saw some wonderfully familiar faces of people on this forum!) and it too used the wrong photo for Clara Harris. That photo was (and in most circles still is) used almost exclusively to represent Miss Harris. Hopefully that will now change with the word getting out.

In retrospect, knowing what we know now from all the work that was done to reveal that photo as incorrect, it seems hard to believe it was misidentified in the first place. From the article Dave Taylor posted on his website:
http://boothiebarn.com/2014/08/14/photos...-identity/

the orginal writing on back said "Mrs. Harris". As Dave stated, Clara never was "Mrs. Harris". She was "MISS Harris" or "Mrs. RATHBONE". Someone probably wanted it to be her and in this case it became her for many years.
