He has written many books about lost mines and treasure hunting.
I have read his book almost 20 years ago, Return of the Assassin. About all I remember is I consider it one of the worst books on the Lincoln Assassination I have ever read.

I agree, Gene. Here is an example of how Jameson tries to deceive his readers. Jameson states, "William Hanchett, in his book The Lincoln Murder Conspiracies, stated, 'One thing is certain: the shot that killed [the man in the barn] had not been fired by the emotionally unbalanced trooper.'

But if you look in the late Dr. Hanchett's book it is apparent that he states this in the section of his book where he presents a condensation of the Eisenschiml thesis. So Dr. Hanchett is presenting Eisenschiml's views of what the conspiracy theorists wanted others to believe, not his own, when he made the statement Jameson uses.
