Did Rathbone get blamed?

[L Verge]

As I think I have posted before, Thomas Mallon was a speaker at one of the Surratt conferences shortly after Henry and Clara was released. He was a very good speaker and right up front acknowledged that it was fiction augmented by factual research. It has been about a decade since I read the book, but doesn't he make good use of footnotes to clarify specific factual points?

Like Eva, I applaud your decision not to open Mallon's book until yours was on the presses.
