Lincoln Legends, Myths, Hoaxes and ......

[Thomas Thorne]

I second Gene (although I paid a lot more). Ed did a marvelous job in this book. Among my favorite characters that Ed covers is "Coughdrop Joey" Ratto. Joey mistakenly became known as the "man who held Booth's horse."

"Coughdrop Joey" Ratto

"Coughdrop Joey" Ratto would be a great Mafia name. Despite the fact that at least one Italian,Pope Pius IX,has been accused of being involved in the conspiracy,I am unaware of anyone who has accused the Mafia of participation.
