Lincoln Kidnap Tries

[Rick Smith]

There is a Georgetown University Press.
They do publish some books on history.
It might be worth contacting them, if you could find some one willing to go through and edit the papers.

I seriously doubt if Mr. Sheetz would or could allow an outside editor. They would probably do that with Lauinger Library staff, if they ever would do it. This would probably be all done in house, which is what Mr. Sheetz meant when he told Laurie that the funds were not available. Barbee's papers are archived in the Special Collections section of the Louinger, may be viewed and notes taken, but not photo copied or scanned.

Gene,

I believe that either Laurie & Bill mentioned another roadblock to the Barbee papers being published, probably more of an impediment than funding; that his daughter would not allow it. I guess she has her reasons, but hat really is unfortunate.
