Sounds interesting - but I wonder, like you Roger, if it's just Bishop embellishing fiction as you say. I don't put much (if any) stock in Bishop because although good,
The Day Lincoln was Shot is predominately fiction. Would LOVE to know most of his resources, though.
Although I've found some articles; etc. on him, does anyone know what his papers contain other than what's posted online? Has anyone here ever seen them? I went here and found that they are housed at St. Bonaventure University located in St. Bonaventure, NY. Surprisingly, his research on the Lincoln Assassination consists of less than his other works - and his research notes cite another piece of fiction - Van Dorn Stern's
The Man Who Shot Lincoln! He also seems to have used Pitmann's version of the assassination.
