Killing Lincoln: The Real Story

[Steven Hager]

No need to delete. I wasn't really hurt or anything. I just felt the rush to protect the reputation of Edwin McMasters Stanton is misplaced energy. There was a rumor he was a opium addict at one point, probably because no one had a solid fix his motivations. With Booth its easy to see pretty ladies were his primary weakness. Which is why Kate Thompson (Brown) the veiled lady and aka "that French woman" is so vital to understanding his sudden desire to shoot the president.
