Killing Lincoln: The Real Story

[LincolnMan]

Steve : interesting stuff about Stanton. The Forum here has mentioned previously that he kept a corpse in his residence. I don't remember- was it his wife or daughter?
Also, you mentioned Vallindigham. I was putting together a post on my Lincoln blog today. In 1863, there was a rumor in the Detroit area that he was behind a planned attack on the Great Lakes by Confederates (and freed prisoners from Johnson Island). He was exiled in Windsor over in Canada. Anyway, Zachariah Chandler of Michigan felt that Detroit and the Great Lakes region needed added protection against the threat. Who did he ask? Stanton! Just noting all of this in passing...
