While a "normal" Confederate operative might prefer to be totally incognito, perhaps he wanted to see how he looked in his hat. Art Loux and Terry Alford both mention the yellow fox-skin cap. A George Iles recalls Booth wearing it during a sleigh ride in Montreal in subzero weather; the cap had a "sheltering peak." According to Iles, Booth later posed for local photographer George Martin in his "winter array," presumably including the cap. It's actually pretty common to see men and women posing in winter clothing (including fur hats) during this period, so I wouldn't be surprised to see such a photo of Booth if one turned up. The last paragraph of the Cleveland Leader article beggars belief as far as I'm concerned. A black man taunting a white one in a railroad car full of Confederate sympathizers? Not very likely. |
