Wooden chairs on the gallows

I was going to respond about Barry and John also. Those two gentlemen have dug up more stuff about Inside The Walls (their upcoming book on the conspirators' stay at the Penitentiary) than anyone I have known over the past forty years. In addition, Ed Isaacs has shared his wonderful diary of George Dixon that opened even more information to us.

I'm hoping that John and Barry will have another supplement of their work done in time for the Surratt conference in March. They continue to tease us with supplements while they work on the main book. This is when things get really interesting -- people start to specialize their studies on specific, little studied topics.
