Robert Arnold's Book The Conspiracy Between John Wilkes Booth and the Union Army

[richard petersen]

Read often, post seldom. Decided to purchase the book and I can see why the Surratt Society decided not to sell the book.
I put this in the category of The Lincoln Conspiracy by Balsiger and The Curse of Cain by Nottingham. ( Yes, I own these books)
Just one example of a lack of research. On page 40 describing Booth's entry to the box and giving a calling card to a messenger. "There is nothing in the archives to indicate who this messenger was or if an attempt was made to identify him" What happened to Charles Forbes? Silas Cobb was in the conspiracy? It goes on and on.
Again, just my views.

Thank you Roger for this forum.
