What would Booth and Davis say to each other?
In the final pages of The Civil War, Vol. 3, author Shelby Foote mentions that there was a rumor in the South that John Wilkes Booth and Jefferson Davis (both on the run)- were on board a vessel together with a storehouse of gold heading for South America. I had never heard tell of this rumor before, but it stirred my imagination towards the kind of conversation the two might have had if it actually were to have happened. What do you all think? Would it be of a friendly tone? Would Davis condemn Booth's actions? What are the speculations?
