Decapitation of the Union

[RJNorton]

I have not read Dixie Reckoning; all I remember is what I read many years ago in the Surratt Courier. As I recall, Stelnick had Booth working for a group of Northern businessmen plus Judah Benjamin (who was secretly in cahoots with the Northern businessmen). The plan was for Booth to kidnap Lincoln on Easter Sunday, but Booth wrecked the plan by assassinating Lincoln instead. Don't know how accurate my memory is, but that's what I recall.
