Was there an assassin on Grant's train?

[Rick Smith]

Rich,everyone has their own opinion! However,I do not agree with you!

herb,

Certainly it is your prerogative to disagree, and it is Rick, not Rich.

What is the "vile" epithet based on exactly, apart from Surratt being a Southerner and working against the Union? Emotion, feelings, worship of Mr. Lincoln?

Laurie has posited one view as to Surratt being labeled as vile and I agree with her assessment.

My apologies, Herb; I did not capitalize the "H" in your name at the beginning of my last post. Forgive me, I am not a very good typist.
