Booth's Escape Route

[Laurie Verge]

Rich,

If Booth was not taking advantage of the Confederate operatives along the Secret Line, what are your ideas as to why he took the route he did?

JWB1865 (Matt?) - What is your citation for a horse and buggy waiting for the fugitives in Bowling Green? I don't recall ever reading or hearing about that.

One other thought on Powell: Betty, is there any evidence that Powell was ever in D.C. before becoming involved with Booth - like maybe during his Mosby days? I don't think he had any problems finding his way around and didn't need Herold as a guide unless he were to head for Southern Maryland with the others.
