RE: Sic Semper Tyrannis - Revenge for the South
Yeah, for anybody who happens to have not read We Saw Lincoln Shot: One Hundred Eyewitness Accounts by Timothy S. Good, you should probably check it out. There are some fairly fascinating things in there, but none more amazing than the account of Clara Todd posted above. Reading the book it's very interesting to see how people's memories become affected by newspapers and word of mouth, though I'm not sure those things are completely responsible for Clara's rollicking tale lol.
