Memoirs by a Conspirator

[historybuff22]

I came across a book I had not seen before. It is Memoirs of a Conspirator - Samuel Bland Arnold - Edited by Michael W. Kuffman - 2008

The book originates from a diary written by Samuel Arnold. While most of the writings are of his experiences at Dry Tortugas and after his release, it does clear up some things in regards to the assassination itself. 151 pages are devoted to the writing by Arnold AND 22 pages of a bibliography!! Also, only primary source material was used. So many so-called history books rely on books written by other authors - 3rd or 4th generation sources - for their writings.

Hats off to Michael W. Kuffman for producing a history book the way it should be done.
