Booth's Revolvers

[wpbinzel]

When John Wilkes Booth was captured and killed, he had in his possession two revolvers. That much seems to be settled history. What seems not to be settled is how those pistols came to be in Booth's possession in the course of his escape. Were they in his saddle bags as he rode away from Ford's Theater? Or David Herold's? Did he acquire them at Surratt's Tavern? At the home of Dr. Mudd? (I have even read one theory that he stopped and picked them at the Surratt Boarding House on H Street on his way to the Navy Yard Bridge -- but seems unworthy of even momentary consideration.)

Within the Symposium, is there is a consensus, some research or collection of theories on how Booth and the revolvers came to be found together at Garrett's farm.
