Assassination Trivia

[RJNorton]

After searching through the unorganized mess in the closet I found Ed's article. It's titled "Terror: 1860's Style" in the May 2002 edition of North & South. Gary, the article says just what you said about the trunks. Hyams was instructed to take the trunks to Washington, Norfolk, and New Bern where the clothing was to be distributed, but he refused to take the valise to the White House. Blackburn then returned to Bermuda where he filled 3 more trunks with "infected" clothing and intended to ship them to New York. It's a really good article by Ed and includes a few pages on the attempt to burn New York City.
