Extra Credit Questions

[Linda Anderson]

A fairly complete reproduction of Vocke's interview can be found on the Library of Congress "Chronicling America" at: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/search/titles/ under these newspapers: The Jeffersonian (Stroudsburg,PA) 8/31/65 and The Wheeling Daily Intelligencer (Wheeling, WV) 7/31/65.

Thanks, Blaine.

I'm wondering if there are also "written communications" from Vocke that the Illinois Staats Zeitung published before the interview you refer to.

This is from the New York Times., July 31, 1865.

"From the Illinois Staats Zeitung, July 17.

"Mr. GEORGE VOCKE, the soldier whom the Medical Director detailed to attend Mr. SEWARD as nurse, after the latter's accident by a fall, has favored us with interesting verbal information, in addition to the written communications formerly published by us, concerning the attempted assassination of Mr. SEWARD."
