Booth and the U.S. Navy
Some long time ago, I read an order that Gideon Wells had sent to his
underlings - the Navy -, and ordered them NOT TO SEARCH for Booth, right after the assassination. He said "this was the Army's job, now let them do their work." The document that I read had been sent to a small Navy Unit, in Maryland, on the west side of the Chesapeake. Has any one seen this order? (I can't find my copy - since I have moved.)
I wonder if there is a story here. Either before or after he gave this order. His wording sounds like he was in a "huff", at somebody.
