New Book to be published on the Petersen House

[Jim Garrett]

I have been given the great honor to announce that good friend and Symposium poster Kathy Canavan has signed a contract with University of Kentucky Press for the publication of (working title) Nightmare: The Last Hours of the Lincoln Assassination. For the past several years, Kathy has done extensive research on the occupants and events at the Petersen house and their neighbors. Rich in details, this book will bring to life the other side of the street much in the same manner that Tome Bogar has done with the east side of 10th Street. This book will enrich our knowledge of the assassination and how it effected the residents.

University of Kentucky Press was also the publisher for Ed Steer's Blood on the Moon. I think we are all looking forward to it's fall 2015 publication date. Three cheers for Kathy!
