Either Benn Pittman or Perley Poore - I think it's Poore -
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 07-12-2013
Wow - that didn't last long - asked at 5:04 A.M. and answered at 5:49 A.M. It is Poore, Betty. Good job!
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 07-12-2013
I admit that I'd seen that photo before....had to stop and think where....!
Thanks, Roger!

I had to pull out my encyclopedia, and then I gave our man of mystery the ol' yahoo to see if I got it right.
Great trivia questin Roger.
If you don't have Ed Steers Encyclopedia, it is very reasonably priced on Amazon, and also available through the Surratt House Museum.
