Hack Alert and Book Report

[John Stanton]

Hi everyone. If you start having problems with your e mail, blame me. I was Hacked. I have been told that the Hacker may visit anyone that I have contacted. (Sorry 'bout that.) I'm back on line after over 3 weeks of "Tech Support". This situation gave me tim to read CHARLES HIGHAM's "MURDERING MR> LINCOLN" (A dissapointment)
Pg 194. "John Patts Brown, father of Josephine Brown". I konw him as John POTTS Brown. Pg 194. "Lt. Charles Keyworth, of the Signal Corps" KEYWORTH ? Pleeze! Higham probably got that from someone else - he didn't research Cawood, or he makes careless notes.
Pg 226. "Augustus Howell...reported that Surratt had used his position as a employee of the Commissary General of Prisoners, to pass on information to him and for Surratt to convey to Richmond."
Might that not be Weichmann with the Commissary General????

Overall, I liked the book, borrowed through Inter-Library Loan. But the errors make me reluctant to cite his book as reference. There was much about the "New York Crowd". I agree with his conclusion that the "Copperheads" were only a 'Paper" organization and there wern't any THOUSANDS ready to rise-up and fight.
