Booths Diary

[STS Lincolnite]

Thanks Gary. When I get a chance I will venture up to Indianapolis and take a look at what remains of the diary. Additionally, I was able to find that at least some of the Civil War portion of the diary was published in the Indiana History Magazine in around 1915. When I get a chance I will read through his entries for the dates around Lincoln's assassination. I will post what I find.

After I saw the The Lincoln Conspiracy mentioned in your last post I suddenly am getting the feeling that the so called report of the National Detective Police was sourced from the Potter papers. If that is the case, I know all I need to know about the credibility of that report.
