The Case For Mrs. Surratt

[Gene C]

A big deal was made about the field glasses, and the testimony regarding them. She indicates this incident was nit picked to death at the trail, and she repeated what was suppose to be some of the witnesses testimony regarding it.
I don't remember the author commenting "having the shooting irons ready". Much attention was made that LLoyd and Weichmann were forced to fabricated their statements, and just about everyone knew it. A lot of attention given to the harsh treatment given Mrs. Surratt during her arrest and trial.

After about two thirds through the book, I got so tired of it, I just read to finish it, I didn't pay that close attention. It was just more of the same. Mrs. Surratt is innocent, and anyone involved with the arrest, her prosecution and trial were the bad guys. I consider this historical fiction, I don't think the author intended for it to be viewed that way.
