Life, Crime and Capture of John Wilkes Booth

[Wild Bill]

I give you the same answer I gave Sally under the assassination thread. I found it interesting and it fit my story line. Johnson's wife had been won out in child-bearing and was North of Tennessee during much Johnson's governorship. And Booth had that reputation as a womanizer. I believe that I state in my introduction to Last Confederate Heroes that it is admittedly an historical novel and one is free to agree or disagree with my story line. But there is a lot more history to it than fiction. Even I cannot always remember which is which. I like to think this is because I wove it all together so skillfully but it probably indicates a weak mind on my part. Asi es la vida.
