I wonder if the author picked up on an article that caused debate when we ran it in the Surratt Courier? A now-deceased doctor from Annapolis, Maryland, suggested that Booth was a victim of VD. Or maybe this new author has discovered a 21st-century disease that can be applied to Booth now when a 19th-century diagnosis could not have been made.
I think I feel a migraine coming on from now through 2015...
