I hope that John Stanton will pick up on your question and give a detailed answer. Otherwise, I am going to have to pull an old Surratt Courier out of the files.

About twenty years ago, I did a small article on Stringfellow and a piece of correspondence (or section from memoirs) in which he gives a description of heading south out of the city -- and it almost seems that he is describing Mrs. Surratt as his guide.

Here is an interesting article on Stringfellow for those who may not be familiar with the gentleman: http://www.myhenrycounty.com/frank-stringfellow3.php

Thank you Laurie, for your post. It verifies all that I was about to say. JMADONNA's conclusion is easy to understand - if all you have read is COME RETRIBUTION[/i] ( pg. 412 ) The next line after "Stringfellow escaped on April 4," is "Ultimately Stringfellow made his way to Canada." Unfortunately, this leaves out some good reading.
There is a lot of good stuff on GOOGLE, this some good coverage from about 5 years ago. (Maybe RJN can tell us how to recover it.

Let me add another Item that I always attempt to bring up when we talk about Stringfellow. Frank and Emma had a son who he named JOHN STANTON STRINGFELLOW. Yes indeed! (I'M grinning ear to ear.)
