BettyO's New Book

[RJNorton]

I agree with what everyone is saying. As I said in another thread I am reading Betty's second edition book and John Fazio's book at the same time and enjoying them both. Both authors are to be commended for such outstanding research. Before the publication of Betty's first edition all I had specifically on Powell was a 20 page pamphlet written by Leon O. Prior entitled Lewis Payne, Pawn of John Wilkes Booth. Betty's book on Powell had over 200 pages, and I couldn't believe someone could actually accomplish such a feat of incredible research. And the second edition has even more information and illustrations! I also noted Betty has changed the wording in discussing the possible presence/lack of it of Herold at Seward's, and I think this was very well done and thoughtful on Betty's part.
