Booth in Boston April 1865

[Dave Taylor]

I thought I was ready to move on, then I stumbled onto this. Pg 275 American Brutus. "hundreds of people were detained including .... Adeline Adams, who had allegedly entertained Booth at her hotel in Neuport...." (not shown in the Book Index). Can anyone add anything to this snippet ? That is all that was said.

John,

This refers to the Newport in Southern Maryland, not Newport, Rhode Island. Mrs. Adams was the keeper of a tavern in Newport, Charles County and plays into the story as to the possible survival of Booth and Herold's horses.
