Boston Corbett

[maharba]

I have worked with three of the best historians in the field, regarding Corbett and the entire Garrett patrol, over the past forty years, and I have never read any of this or heard them mention such incidents.

I have not read the newest book on the subject, The Madman and the Assassin, but I have heard no one complain about such spurious information in it. Please tell me where you get these comments.>


The Lincoln experts say it can not be so? and they all agree for 40 years? Always good to a have universal consensus from the best researchers in the business. I can just throw away my original research notes, crumbling scrapbooks and old newspaper clippings on Judge Brown, other topics.

I can't say that I've ever bought a book on amazon or online. So, I look for useful reviews and compare with my research notes. With my diminished or really no access to new books by Lincoln experts, maybe another Symposium member can tell me if Cloud County KS judge Brown is ever mentioned in any of the new or old books on Boston Corbett?
If in future books they do include this (assassination attempt on a judge), let's hope the Lincoln scholars do credit Roger and his Symposium
for bringing this lost information out, in open discussion.

That I can see, Brown figures in 3 or 4 different ways into the saga. And maybe somebody can tell me how to 'start a new thread'. How do you do that at this forum? I have several Lincoln articles which may contain novel information, and in time would like to start new threads. Thanks.
