RE: James P Ferguson, witness to the assassination
Christine,
In the documents regarding the reward money in my files, I don't see the name of James Ferguson mentioned. So many people put in for a share of the money, but where Booth and Herold were concerned, only those on the patrol to Garrett's Farm, and others in the military or law enforcement, were deemed entitled to the $75,000 offered by the War Department. I've attached the House Report that listed those the Committee on Claims felt were eligible for the reward money. Hope this helps. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
